- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 simple catch to Duckett at deep midwicket, that's a giveaway to greet the start of Mullaney's spell. A swing through the line, no timing, no power. Leicestershire are rudderless at the moment 22/31.4 five deliveries for Delany and he couldn't get off the mark, Patel holds his line with a bit of air and turn off the deck, and out comes the off stump after a wild, unbalanced hoon down the ground! 6/12.5 slower ball, slapped to Hales at deep cover. Leicestershire have been swinging and missing with little hope so far, and once again, the breakthrough comes after a desperate bid to break the shackles. Down on one knee, bat through the line, but no timing at all 7/214.1 a drag-down on leg stump, and a wellied waft to the man on the 45! Such a tame end to a valiant stand. Could have sent that anywhere, but the skipper's gone for 43 88/419.4 Hales at long-on ends a fine innings. One swipe too many, but he had to go for it 135/718.3 walks across the stumps, looking for the slog-sweep, but that's a good yorker length from Christian, and that's plumb. An important strike witj Leicestershire just threatening to post a challenging 140-plus 124/518.5 goes aerial once more, and this time Imad is under it, and that's no mistake 126/6Extras2 (lb 2)TOTAL139/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Gareth Delany, 1.4 ov), 2-7 (Arron Lilley, 2.5 ov), 3-22 (Nick Welch, 6.1 ov), 4-88 (Colin Ackermann, 14.1 ov), 5-124 (Lewis Hill, 18.3 ov), 6-126 (Ben Mike, 18.5 ov), 7-135 (Harry Swindells, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.1 an outstanding low catch at mid-on, and Leicestershire are brawling! Nash's struggles come to an end, with the same sort of impetuosity that undid Leicestershire's top order. Hitting his way out of trouble, and giving Ackermann the chance to pull off a blinder! 67/42.6 bowled with a beauty! That's redressed the balance! Parkinson has had his number in recent encounters, and does him in again! Dipping in from round the wicket, straightening off the deck, and smashing middle stump clean through a tentative gate! 19/17.6 a massive mow through the line and a leading edge skews to long-off ... a glimmer for Leicestershire 58/28.6 now then, that's made things interesting! Duckett has been in fine form but he's gone cheaply this time, a massive wipe at a full one and out pops his off stump! 62/315.3 bowled him! And it's Moores this time! This is utterly massive for Leicestershire... the main man has gone, and there are two new men at the crease without a ball between them! 99/615.2 brilliant catch in the deep! Christian never got going, but if he had been there at the end... great communication out at cow corner, with two men converging. But an early clear call, and Leicestershire have their opening! 99/518.5 swung to deep midwicket and that's a huge wicket! Griffiths has been superb tonight, another slower ball, backing the difficulty in timing off this deck, and that's a calm take on the edge of the rope. A vital dot too! 123/7Extras6 (lb 5, w 1)TOTAL139/7 (20 Overs, RR: 6.95)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Alex Hales, 2.6 ov), 2-58 (Joe Clarke, 7.6 ov), 3-62 (Ben Duckett, 8.6 ov), 4-67 (Chris Nash, 10.1 ov), 5-99 (Dan Christian, 15.2 ov), 6-99 (Tom Moores, 15.3 ov), 7-123 (Steven Mullaney, 18.5 ov)
