Spin twins Jigar Naik and Claude Henderson bowled Leicestershire to a magnificent innings victory over Surrey at the Brit Oval yesterday.

Slow left-armer Henderson put County firmly in control with first-innings figures of 6-84 as the home side were bowled out for 236 shortly before lunch on day three.

Skipper Matthew Hoggard enforced the follow-on with a lead of 243 and off-spinner Naik then bettered his senior partner, returning career-best figures of 7-96.

It was a sorry show from Surrey as they were dismissed for just 183 in their second innings, in all losing 14 wickets in less than three sessions.

They began the third day in some trouble on 160-6 and were hustled out as Henderson claimed three wickets during the morning's play.

There was still time for Nathan Buck to claim the key wicket of Steven Davies before the break but, from there, it was a tale of spin literally winning the day. Only Younus Khan showed the kind of resilience Surrey required, making a classy unbeaten 77, including three sixes off Naik as he opened his shoulders in the closing stages.

For the rest of the time, Leicestershire tied down their rivals, offering next to nothing in the way of cheap runs to relieve the pressure.

The pitch offered plenty of help to the slow bowlers and Naik, in particular, cashed in.

Henderson did grab the wickets of home captain Rory Hamilton-Brown and Chris Schofield but it was Naik's day by a distance.

It was highlighted by his dismissal of Mark Ramprakash, who played on to a ball which bounced more than he expected and really opened the door for County.

Ramprakash's dismissal left Surrey on 57-3 and they lost Usman Afzaal, top scorer in the first innings with 54, before tea, the left-hander falling lbw without scoring.

With their rivals on 73-4 at the interval, County had their tails up and life became even sweeter in the first over of the evening session when Henderson bowled Hamilton-Brown.

Gareth Batty became the next Naik victim, playing back to a ball he should have been forward to and becoming another lbw casualty.

Schofield adopted the aggressive approach until he popped a catch to Matt Boyce at silly point. Boyce held another good, low catch to remove Stuart Meaker off Naik's bowling.

A swing and a miss from Chris Tremlett saw his demise, bowled by Naik, and, though there was some big hitting from Jade Dernbach and Younus who were determined to go down fighting, the end came in the 69th over.

The last-wicket pair had added 46 runs in brisk fashion when Dernbach aimed one big hit too many and was bowled by Naik.

It was fitting that the local boy claimed that wicket because he had produced a genuine match-winning performance.
