Half-centuries by Jim Allenby and Tom New helped Leicestershire to rally on the third day of the Championship match at Derby.

County slipped to 92-5 in their second innings but hit back to close on 209-7 with Allenby hitting 52 and New 63 not out.

That gave them a lead of 256 with a day to play.

Earllier a devastating burst from pace bowler Iain O'Brien rocked the hosts.

The New Zealander claimed 6-87 as Derbyshire were all out for 365 in their first innings.

See Friday's Leicester Mercury for all the reaction.
