FRIENDS PROVIDENT t20, Grace Road:
Leicestershire v Durham - MATCH ABANDONED

Torrential rain in the East Midlands forced the abandonment of the FP t20 match between Leicestershire and Durham at Grace Road.

Umpires Trevor Jesty and Tim Robinson called off the match without a ball being bowled after two inspections.

The point each side earn does not help their respective bids for a place in the quarter-finals.

Both will be knocked out if Derbyshire beat Northants in their floodlit encounter on Friday evening.

Durham coach Geoff Cook told BBC Newcastle:
"We've probably had the worst of the weather of any of the teams in the North Group.

"All you can ask is a bit of a chance to qualify and the last two games have been a real disappointment.

"Having played really well at Worcester to give ourselves half a chance, and then playing pretty well in half the game against Derbyshire, and the disappointment of going on to lose that game."
