  1. 'Foxes stumble over the line'

    Leicestershire 262 & 146-8 v Gloucestershire 252 & 152 - Leicestershire win by 2 wickets

    Richard Rae
    BBC Radio Leicester Sport

    The Foxes have almost stumbled over the line.

    Gloucestershire gave a good fight of it in the end, Goodman will be happy with his nine wickets he took.

    It's ended well for Leicestershire.

  2. LEICESTERSHIRE BEAT GLOUCESTERSHIRE BY TWO WICKETS
    Breaking

    Leics 146-8 - target 143 to beat Glos

    Ajeet Singh-Dale to Ben Green...

    Short second ball and did he glance that to keeper James Bracey?

    No. Not out. Thigh pad and not bat.

    A back foot block next.

    They've done it! Slapped through cover by Ben Green for four and Leicestershire's barnstorming start to the season continues!

    Heartbreak for Gloucestershire, who await their first win at Bristol since September 2022 and they came ever so close here.

    Nine wickets in the match for Dom Goodman. Vital runs from James Bracey, Cameron Bancroft and Ollie Price.

    But Ben Cox took Leicestershire to the brink under severe pressure with 47 and the shackles were finally broken by a leg glance for four off the blade of Roman Walker.

    Leicestershire remain top of the table at least for this round with two wins in four games.

    Just four points for Gloucestershire, who remain second from bottom.

  3. ouch!

    Reece heads off

    Derbys 472 v Middx 315 & 12-1 (f/o) (trail by 145 runs)

    Luis Reece is not able to finish his over and appears to be struggling with an injury to his right leg, possibly his knee.

    He has lasted 2.4 overs and has left the field in company with the Derbyshire physio. That is not a great turn of events for the hosts despite their strong position in the game.

    Jack Morley is going to finish the over for Reece.

  4. Leics 142-8 - target 143 to beat Glos

    Josh Shaw is distraught. Foxes nearly home.

    Roman Walker misses a flick to leg and survives the LBW shout.

    Well forward again.

    He inside edges the ball behind square and there's no run there. Over.

  5. Leics 142-8 - target 143 to beat Glos

    Consecutive maidens. Leicestershire feeling the pressure.

    Josh Shaw to Roman Walker. An LBW shout turned down.

    Well forward and possibly outside the line. The ball flies off the pad and there's an appeal for a catch as well. Not out.

    Where's the next run coming from?

    Oh, here it is! Leg side and glanced fine for four! One to win.

  6. Leics 138-8 - target 143 to beat Glos

    Still five needed.

    Ben Green is forward, trying to push through an off side gap but there's no run.

    A tight leave from the crease outside off stump.

    You could hear a pin drop here.

    Maiden from Ajeet Singh-Dale.

  7. 'You feel the fight has gone'

    Leicestershire 138-8 - target 143 to beat Gloucestershire

    Richard Rae
    BBC Radio Leicester Sport

    Every Gloucestershire fielder is on their toes.

    You feel the fight has gone, though.

    The last five runs seems like so many.

  8. Leics 138-8 - target 143 to beat Glos

    Can Ben Green finish the job now?

    Ajeet Singh-Dale to bowl... Short! Dabbed in the air but the ball lands before anyone can get there.

    About one foot away from the bowler on his follow through!

  9. Leics 138-8 - target 143 to beat Glos

    Roman Walker is half forward, dabbing defensively into the leg side.

    I wonder how Foxes number 11 Josh Hull is feeling now?

    An appeal for a leg side catch is turned down as Walker appears to follow a short ball. Not out.

    Walker blocks length balls on the front foot.

    Maiden. Over to you, Ben Green.

  10. wicket

    WICKET

    Fernandes c Andersson b Reece 0 (Derbys 472 v Middx 315 & 0-1)

    And Derbyshire have a wicket first ball... a good first delivery and Nathan Fernandes has gone at it with hard hands edging to gully where Martin Andersson takes a simple catch.

  11. Leics 138-8 - target 143 to beat Glos

    Josh Shaw fields the last ball and now goes back to his mark.

    This might be the final over.

  12. Leics 138-8 - target 143 to beat Glos

    Roman Walker is down the track to Ajeet Singh-Dale and does well to dig out a well-directed yorker.

    Walker is forward, squeezing a ball leg side off an inside edge for one.

    Five to win.

  13. Leics 137-8 - target 143 to beat Glos

    The Gloucestershire faithful believe and even dot balls are being warmly applauded.

    Roman Walker is off the mark with two in the off side to Dom Goodman.

    Six to win.

  14. 'It's back in the melting pot'

    Leicestershire 135-8 - target 143 to beat Gloucestershire

    Richard Rae
    BBC Radio Leicester Sport

    All of a sudden it's back in the melting pot.

    He almost steered it into the hands of James Bracey.

    It was a bit out of character, that shot.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Cox c Bracey b Singh-Dale 47 (Leics 135-8 - target 143 to beat Glos)

    He's out! Width outside off stump and Ben Cox drives from the crease, edging to James Bracey.

    Loose shot under pressure and a crucial strike for Ajeet Singh-Dale.

    Roman Walker walks in.

  16. Leicestershire 135-7 - target 143 to beat Gloucestershire

    Josh Shaw bowls to Ben Cox on 45.

    Short, leg side and tapped behind square for one. 10 to win.

    It was in the air for a while but nobody at square leg.

    Now or never for Gloucestershire.

    Big LBW shout v Ben Green but its not out. Close but too leg side.

    Green drives on the book foot through cover for one.

    Ben Cox misses with a flashing off drive but he'll keep the strike with one pushed to point. He's on 47. Eight to win.

  17. wicket

    MIDDX 315 ALL OUT

    Davies c Morley b Thompson 54

    Jack Davies has holed out at long off and Derbys have enforced the follow on with Middx eight short of taking that option off the table.

    A positive move from Derbyshire captain Wayne Madsen and absolutely the right call.

  18. Leicestershire 132-7 - target 143 to beat Gloucestershire

    One side will get 20 points in this game and one will get four.

    A great stop by Ollie Price at short mid wicket to stop Ben Green getting a run off the last ball of the Josh Shaw over.

    Single to Ben Cox off Ajeet Singh-Dale with a steer off side, though that was a tight one!

    One more to Ben Green on the on side. Full toss. Great fielding from Graeme Van Buuren at mid on.

    Ben Cox is nearly cut in half by a ball that bounces over his stumps through to keeper James Bracey.

    Single off the fifth ball to cover on the back foot. 11 to win.

  19. 'A composed start'

    Leicestershire 129-7 - target 143 to beat Gloucestershire

    Richard Rae
    BBC Radio Leicester Sport

    It's a pretty composed start to the session from the two Ben's.

    That will be an ease of mind for his anxiously waiting teammates.

  20. Leicestershire 129-7 - target 143 to beat Gloucestershire

    Josh Shaw to bowl. Two slips in for Ben Green.

    Ben Green digs out a yorker and then defends down the ground.

    Shot! Four! Ben Green flicks through mid wicket with a poise and elegance that belies his number nine spot.

    One slip now. Ooh! A fence and a miss so to speak.

    He survives the over though. 14 to win.
