Yorkshire captain becomes the fifth English batter to pass T20 milestone

Captain Dawid Malan became the fifth English batter to reach 10,000 career T20 runs at the start of a superb 88 which helped his Yorkshire side achieve their first Vitality Blast win of the season at the expense of Leicestershire Foxes at Headingley on Sunday.

The former England left-hander hit five sixes in an opening 48-ball knock which helped his side, on the back of three North Group defeats, set the Foxes an imposing 214 target that was never threatened.

Yorkshire's 213-7 was underpinned by Malan and his second-wicket partner Will Luxton, whose 62 off 34 balls from No 3 represented a maiden career 50 in this format in his ninth match. They shared 132 inside 12 overs.
