Rao gives Kibworth night-Mayurs before run chase falters in thriller

Langtons first team's rollercoaster season ended with a suitably thrilling last-ball tie at home to Kibworth seconds.

In-form Mayur Rao hit the side's first and only league century of the season with an irresistible 130, supported by a run-a-ball 56 from captain Jamie Marchant, 22 from Prem Prajapati and 15 not out from veteran gloveman Mark Ward.

Despite a first over strike, Kibworth appeared to be cruising to victory as the Patel brothers shared a massive second wicket partnership to bring the score to 232-1 from 38 overs. However, then began an extraordinary comeback as a succession of Kibworth batsmen were dismissed attempting keep up with the seven an over required rate, Prajapati to the fore with figures of 13-0-78-6. The visitors required only four to win from the final over, delivered by Marchant, whose nagging seam conceded only two singles and a wide from the first five deliveries. The last ball, a straight yorker, was driven back to the bowler who removed the bails to effect a run out and conclude the Kibworth innings on 268-9, a rousing tie to conclude a satisfactory first season back in County League division one for the villagers
