Leicestershire 139-9 in 20 overs (Smith 45, Ali 3-23) tied with Lancashire 139-9 in 20 overs (Taylor 4-23) at Grace Road in T20.
A point was the least Leicestershire Foxes deserved after a rousing fightback earned them a tie against Lancashire Lightning at Grace Road last night.
But whether that point is enough to prolong their ambitions of a quarter-final place in this season's Friends Life T20 competition remains to be seen.
The Foxes' total of 139-9 after being put in to bat looked some way short of a challenging score, especially as Lancashire moved menacingly to 63-2 in the ninth over.
However, Leicestershire chipped away at the visitors' batting, all-rounder Rob Taylor outstanding as he finished with figures of 4-23 from his four overs.
