Seconds pile on the runs in draw

Date: Friday 02 September 2011

Shiv Thakor, Lewis Hall and Jacques du Toit all made centuries as Leicestershire Second XI drew their three-day friendly at Nottinghamshire.

Notts were bowled out for 189 on the first day with pacy Loughborough Town seamer Ollie Freckingham taking 4-74.

Leicestershire racked up a mightily impressive 601-7 declared with Thakor (153), Hill (143), du Toit (131), Paul Dixey (70) and Will Jones (45) all batting extremely well.

Notts moved to 121-1 in their second-innings by stumps on day two and moved to 460-6 on the final day to secure a draw.

Neil Edwards and Steven Mullaney each made 145 while spinners Jamie Sykes and Jones took three wickets apiece.

Sykes took 3-98 with his slow left arm while Jones picked up 3-115 with his leg-spin.

The game rounded off an excellent season for Lloyd Tennant's men. A full analysis of the campaign will appear in the Club's Yearbook.
