T20 Blast: Northants stay unbeaten but Hampshire lose first match

Yorkshire climbed off the bottom of the North Group table after posting a first victory of their T20 Blast campaign, beating Leicestershire Foxes by a thumping margin of 106 runs.

Dawid Malan (88 from 48 balls) and Will Luxton (62 from 34) put on 132 for the second wicket and, despite a mini-collapse which saw five wickets go for 31 runs, Yorkshire posted a towering total of 213-7 in their 20 overs.

Former England batter Malan passed 10,000 T20 runs in the process.

The Foxes were never really in the hunt with spin doing the damage, Jafer Chohan taking 4-27 and Dom Bess 2-25.

Victory moved Yorkshire into seventh place in the table with their first win at the fourth attempt.
