    for Harry Swindellspublished at 19 overs

    Leicestershire 127-6

    Half-century to Harry Swindells with a single to finish the 19th over.

    It's come off 39 balls with six fours.

    How many can the Foxes scramble off the last over from Jake Ball?

    Mike c Imad b Christian 2 (Leicestershire 126-6)

    That's a cameo knock if ever I've seen one!

    Ben Mike lasts just two balls.

    He was almost caught the ball before but Jake Ball spilled a steepler out at deep square leg. Thankfully for Ball, it doesn't cost too much.

    Next delivery though, Mike picks out Imad Wasim at extra cover and clearly he'd been given licence there to have a swing.

    Hill lbw b Christian 17 (Leicestershire 124-5)

    Plumb.

    Top bowling from Dan Christian right up in the block hole giving these two nothing to get away.

    Lewis Hill shuffled across his stumps and tried to work it into the legside, but he is pinned on the front boot and actually, on second look, he's unlucky there.

    Hawk-Eye says the impact was outside the line of off stump.

    Dan Christian to bowl the penultimate over of this innings...

  5. Leicestershire 123-4published at 18 overs

    Swindells 48, Hill 17

    Another well-placed shot into the legside from Harry Swindells splits the fielders between deep mid-wicket and long-on.

    He thinks he's got another boundary a few balls later, but his lofted off drive lands short and plugs in the outfield for a couple.

    Nine off the over. Two to go.

    Jake Ball back now for Notts from the Radcliffe Road End for his third over....

  7. Leicestershire 114-4published at 17 overs

    Swindells 39, Hill 17

    Another boundary to Lewis Hill. Some deft touches here from the right-hander.

    One-bounce sweep races to the fine leg rope.

    Harry Swindells also gets another four down to deep square leg and these two are accumulating nicely with some well-judged ones and twos as well.

    Thirteen off the over as Wasim finishes with 0-28.

    Imad Wasim now to bowl his final over with four left in this Leicestershire innings...

  9. Leicestershire 101-4published at 16 overs

    Patel 4-0-33-1

    Some more much-needed boundaries for Leicestershire as Lewis Hill sweeps Samit Patel for four to square leg.

    Foxes nudge their total pass 100 meanwhile.

    Samit Patel to bowl his last over. One wicket to his name so far tonight, the first one of this Leicestershire innings...

  11. Leicestershire 93-4published at 15 overs

    Swindells 32, Hill 4

    Five overs to go.

    Lewis Hill the new man in to join Harry Swindells and he picks up four from his first three deliveries.

    Ackermann c Nash b Carter 43 (Leicestershire 88-4)

    Big wicket. Another soft dismissal for Leicestershire.

    Matt Carter on to bowl and first ball he picks up a wicket with a terrible ball that Colin Ackermann somehow loops straight into the hands of Chris Nash at short fine leg.

    Poor cricket all round but it takes a wicket!

  13. Leicestershire 88-3published at 14 overs

    Ackermann 43, Swindells 31

    Dan Christian in his third over and Harry Swindells keeps placing the ball nicely on the legside to find the rope.

    But next ball, he almost runs out his senior partner in Colin Ackermann with an ill-judged single. Christian somehow misses all three stumps with a throw from close range.

    Makes up for it though next ball with another boundary to finish the over down to fine leg.

    Another productive over sees 10 scored.

    There is still a bit of work to be done, but Ackermann is showing that once you get yourself in you can really manipulate the field.

    Leicestershire 61-3

    Colin Ackermann goes big for a third time!

    Lovely slog sweep off the first ball of Steven Mullaney's over and that has gone plenty of rows back beyond square leg.

    When things are working for you in T20, you've got to keep things simple.

  20. Leicestershire 55-3published at 11 overs

    Ackermann 28, Swindells 14

    Boundary again for Colin Ackermann as he cuts Samit Patel for four down to cover.

    Better for the Foxes this and a partnership beginning to flourish.
