Head to head

Played 71, Bears 37, Leicestershire 31, No Result 3.

Blast from the past

July 2008 and the Foxes were well and truly 'carted.' All-rounder Neil Carter, years ahead of his time as a white-ball batter, opened the batting and laid into the hosts for 78 from 55 balls with ten fours and five sixes. His blitz having lifted the Bears to 276, Carter then took two wickets with the new ball before a five-for from spinner Ant Botha rattled the Foxes out for 185.

Who's hot?

Rob Yates. His 114 against Sussex yesterday was his seventh time past 50 in 11 List A innings.

Look out for

Chris Wright. Former Bears favourite who helped bowl them to the County Championship in 2012, now heading up the Foxes' seam attack.
