Hull falls four runs short of maiden first-class century for Leicestershire

Josh Hull narrowly missed out on a maiden first-class century for Leicestershire against Nottinghamshire, BBC Sport reported. The once-capped England Test bowler reached 96 before being dismissed.

Hull's near-miss came during Leicestershire's County Championship match at the Uptonsteel County Ground. The 22-year-old left-arm seamer has been a consistent performer with the bat this season.

The innings extended his reputation as an all-round contributor, though he will have to wait for his first hundred at first-class level. Leicestershire continue their campaign without the milestone.
