County Championship: Josh Tongue bowls Worcestershire to win over Leicestershire
Match scorecard
Dillon Pennington, who was not required to bowl a new spell, finished with 3-25 to go with his four wickets from the first innings as Worcestershire took 19 points to go level on points with Leicestershire, who began the match in second place in the table.Leicesterhire, though, want the England and Wales Cricket Board to investigate whether the visitors should face possible disciplinary action over a contentious catch during the second day's play.
The win completed a double for Worcestershire over their opponents, having beaten them at New Road in May - they are the only team to beat Leicestershire so far this season. Another 124 were needed this time, which with Rehan Ahmed on 33 not out at the other end, was not beyond the realms of imagination.
And it took only two more balls for Tongue to finish the job, yorking Matt Salisbury as Leicestershire were all out in exactly 40 overs."I have to take my hat off to Oakham School. They have tried to accommodate us as much as they could in terms of facilities, which have been fantastic. "But when you have a low-scoring match like this, it can be a bit of a lottery as to which way it goes.""The batters can take great heart from that, because it was not a wicket you could take any confidence from. Jake Libby's contribution in the second innings was pretty impressive. No one else got a 50 in the game.

The bearded babies of this Mount and Blade 2 mod may mean I never sleep soundly againOne of Josh's first memories is of playing Quake 2 on the family computer when he was much too young to be doing that, and he's been irreparably game-brained ever since. His writing has been featured in Vice, Fanbyte, and the Financial Times. He'll play pretty much anything, and has written far too much on everything from visual novels to Assassin's Creed. His most profound loves are for CRPGs, immersive sims, and any game whose ambition outstrips its budget. He thinks you're all far too mean about Deus Ex: Invisible War.
