Leicestershire bank points in rain-hit draw to close relegation gap on Yorkshire

Leicestershire reached 84-0 at stumps on day three at Scarborough, trailing Yorkshire's first-innings 263 by 179 runs. With 140-plus overs lost to rain, a draw looms. For second-bottom Leicestershire, 17 points behind Yorkshire at the round's start, it matters: they have banked three batting points to Yorkshire's one, nibbling at the Division One relegation gap.
