6.27pm Ricardo Vasconcelos plays an absolute blinder to deny Yorkshire in their victory push. He finishes 129 not out, Adam Lyth's 4 for 56 ends up being thwarted. Thanks for joining ESPNcricinfo's Bank Holiday County Cricket pop-up comms. See you next time, whenever that may be!

56.5
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

kneels into a compact punched drive, out to deep cover. That will be that!

56.4
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

bouncer again, not the right option for a man who doesn't want to play a shot. Yorkshire need to strike with each of these remaining balls

56.3
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

yorker, better option, but calmly met. Two more balls to survive...

56.2
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

too short, leg-sided, a flinch inside the line, two dots dotted up

Slip, short leg, silly point, leg gully

56.1
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

round the wicket, banged in short. No need to go after that

Mark: "@Alex Can you imagine Colin Milburn, David Shepherd or Mervyn Kitchen running a 2K time-trial? :-) They'd have needed an ambulance." Or Azam Khan for that matter

55.6
Leech to Kaul, no run

chastened, and leaves alone outside off. Vasco punches the bat in satisfaction

55.5
Leech to Kaul, no run

lured into the drive! Yikes, steady Sid! Full length, pushed past the eyeline, he has a dart but doesn't connect

Two balls at the tail... two wickets? Two slips, gully, silly point, short leg

55.4
1
Leech to R Vasconcelos, 1 run

makes room for a chop through the covers, they accept the single... Vasco getting himself ready to face the final six

55.3
4
Leech to R Vasconcelos, FOUR runs

gloved down the leg-side! Tattersall so nearly gets his right glove to a very tough chance! He was in the game for a moment there. Vasco just jabbed his hands when he had no need to do so

55.2
Leech to R Vasconcelos, no run

right back on the stumps, vertical blade to block out the ball

55.1
1
Leech to Kaul, 1 run

jabbed down to the off-side... Vasco hustles through, and Kaul was happy to take another ball. He was quickly ushered to the far end!

Alex: "This has been a serious display of temperament and skill from Vasconcelos, hats off. Mad that he missed the first few games for failing a pointless 2km time trial."

54.6
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

width on the short ball, toe-ended from Vasco out to Lyth at point, and Kaul sends his main man back. Yorkshire have the man they want on strike

54.5
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

backs away, pushed through outside off, no contact

Larry: "What were you doing before you were pulled in to do commentary. Is this the reward for clearing your inbox?" Templates, photos, England T20 build-up news. It's gone quiet now as Bank Holiday Monday kicks in!

54.4
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

leg-sided, Tattersall has to hop to get in the way as the ball climbs through

54.3
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

round the wicket again, aiming full, Vasco is right back on his stumps to defend

Thomas Davey: "What exactly has gone wrong for Yorkshire? They had the services of Root and Brook throughout the first 6 games and are still to win a single game and the one game they are close to winning is the first game with neither of them." To be fair, Leics are third with seven draws from seven!

54.2
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

leg-sided, pushed to midwicket with a full face of the bat

54.1
Revis to R Vasconcelos, no run

short, round the wicket, rocks back inside the line

Mark: "Whichever way this ends up, Yorkshire desperately need the win to give their season some momentum. Most people would have had them as bankers to go straight back up, but they are in real danger of the Wooden Spoon unless they can change things around."

53.6
1
Leech to R Vasconcelos, 1 run

cut away, at the top of the bounce, takes the pace off the shot, so that the ball pulls up inside the rope. Excellent placement, and again the batter gets his single

53.6
6nb
Leech to R Vasconcelos, (no ball) FOUR runs

makes room to leg, nails his cut! That's fizzed to the rope, through the covers, and Vasco grimaces... but it's a no-ball!

53.5
4
Leech to R Vasconcelos, FOUR runs

short ball, violent pull, a steepling top-edge but it's safely over fine leg. No-one set back on the rope, so safe enough. Another academic boundary. It's all about the single this ball...
