Heading for a draw at Scarborough after Leicestershire resist Yorkshire on day three

This 10th-round Rothesay County Championship match is heading for a draw, a result which could prove to be a healthy one for a Foxes side who are bidding to avoid relegation.

Patel and Gumbs returned to the crease at midday at 12 without loss in reply to a first-innings 263 all out following a delayed start because of a wet outfield. They took the score to 84 without loss.

There was no play beyond 3pm, with the rain having arrived. Only 31.5 overs were bowled in the day, taking the total lost in this match beyond the 140-mark. Umpires Ian Blackwell and Graham Lloyd called the day off at 4.35pm.
