Keaton Jennings made a brilliant 135 from 134 balls, Marcus Harris 71 from 46 and 17-year-old Joe Moores a career-best unbeaten 41 from 15 as Lancashire racked up 383 for four in their 50 overs, the second highest List A total in their history, to set up a 21-run victory over Leicestershire Foxes in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup.
After slumping to 22 for four, Ruan de Swardt’s List A career-best 126 off 116 balls, coupled with Hamza Shaikh’s 91 off 88, gave Leicestershire an outside chance of pulling off a remarkable win.
With Ben Cox (43 off 25) and Tom Scriven (39 not out off 24) chipping in as well, in falling short the Foxes were left to rue a poor performance in the field that saw five catches dropped, a costly missed run-out and 26 conceded in wides and no balls.
