Fakhar Jamil’s remarkable late innings ensured Werrington kept up their surprise title challenge in Rutland Division One.

The city side, who are playing at this level for the first time, looked dead and buried at 119-7 chasing Burghley Park’s 207 all out.

But Jamil promptly smacked seven sixes and five fours in a 42-ball 74 not out to power Werrington home with almost 13 overs to spare.

Michael Hobbiss had earlier struck 63 for Burghley with Nadir Haider claiming three wickets for Werrington who are second, 12 points behind Barnack.
