Rothesay County Championship - Day 3: Leicestershire 453 beat Yorkshire 185 and 229 by an innings and 39 runs.
Leicestershire 23pts, Yorkshire 2pts
Leicestershire completed an emphatic victory inside three days as Yorkshire were bowled out for 229 at Uptonsteel Grace Road, Jonny Bairstow’s side sinking to a third defeat of the season by an innings and 39 runs.
Bairstow himself went for a three-ball duck as the Foxes, who went into this round rock bottom of Division One after four consecutive defeats, registered their first win of the campaign - their first at this level since 2003 after ending a 22-year exile as Division Two champions last year.
