Goals from Chris Birchall and Wayne Andrews secured a point for Coventry City as they drew 2-2 with Leicester City on Tuesday afternoon.

There was also good news for the Sky Blues with Marcus Hall returning  following a long lay-off due to an achilles injury - the defender performing for 62 minutes before being replaced.

In the torrential rain at Hinckley United FC, the Foxes created the opening chance of the match when on five minutes, shots from DJ Campbell and then Matty Fryatt forced goalkeeper Danny Ireland into an excellent double save.

However, Leicester were destined to take the lead on 17 minutes, when Fryatt capitalised on a loose ball in the six yard box to finish into the back of the net.

Kevin Thornton saw his shot tipped wide by the keeper on 23 minutes, before three minutes later, the Irishman's shot was not held by keeper Paul Henderson and the ball fell for the advancing Birchall, who finished from close range.

The second half was as level as the first and DJ Campbell saw his shot deflected over just after the hour before at the other end, Cairo played an excellent ball into Birchall, who saw the keeper save at his feet.

On 71 minutes, the Sky Blues made it 2-1. After an excellent one-two with Birchall, Thornton slipped the ball through to Andrews, who finished well past the keeper for the lead.

However, it was destined to finish level - Ryan Beswick producing an excellent free kick on 78 minutes which flew into Ireland's top corner after Davis had fouled Wesolowski.
