  1. 6 runs

    Ackermann clears the rope again

    Leicestershire 48-3

    And another maximum from Colin Ackermann!

    Samit Patel smashed over extra cover just out of Alex Hales' reach running around the rope.

  2. Watch: Ackermann smashes first six of the game

    Runs have been hard to come by so far for Leicestershire, but Colin Ackermann did strike this six off Jake Ball earlier...

  3. Leicestershire 42-3

    Ackermann 16, Swindells 13

    Halfway stage of the innings and Leicestershire are stuck in first gear.

    Clinical display this so far from Notts with all the experience in their bowling attack.

    Harry Swindells does break the shackles a touch though with a back foot cut through extra cover for four.

    They need plenty more of that though from here.

  4. Leicestershire 35-3

    Ackermann 14, Swindells 8

    Steven Mullaney with another cheap over as he works through all those clever variations of his.

    Just the two runs off it.

  5. Watch: Patel bowls Delany for a duck

    If you've just joined us.

    Here's the first wicket of the evening that fell. Samit Patel bowling Gareth Delany for a duck.

    Not a shot Delany will want to see again I'm sure....

  6. Leicestershire 33-3

    Ackermann 13, Swindells 7

    Leicestershire head coach Paul Nixon looks like he is fuming on the other side of the boundary watching this.

    If he takes off that bobble hat of his, steam might well come out.

    Samit Patel with another economical over conceding just seven.

  7. Leicestershire 26-3

    Ackermann 11, Swindells 2

    Harry Swindells the new man in after Nick Welch was dismissed.

    A few scrambled singles off the remainder of that Steven Mullaney over as the Outlaws keep up the pressure.

    WICKET

    Welch c Duckett b Mullaney 12 (Leicestershire 22-3)

    Steven Mullaney on to bowl and he picks up a wicket first ball.

    Another tame dismissal for Leicestershire as Nick Welch departs.

    Picks out the fielder at deep mid-wicket. What a gift.

  9. Leicestershire 22-2

    Powerplay done and dusted.

    Put that one down as a victory for Notts I think.

  10. 6 runs

    Ackermann launches it

    Leicestershire 20-2

    A first six of the night and it's a welcome one for Leicestershire.

    Colin Ackermann whips Jake Ball over the square leg rope.

    Nice hit.

  11. And the bowling shuffle continues for Notts as Jake Ball returns for his second over.

  12. Leicestershire 13-2

    Welch 10, Ackermann 2

    Runs remain hard to come by for the Foxes.

    Decent shots straight to fielders keeping the visitors to just singles.

  13. Another change of bowling as Imad Wasim comes back for a second over.

    Notts keep ringing the changes.

  14. Leicestershire 10-2

    Welch 8, Ackermann 1

    Colin Ackermann off the mark with a clothed shot out to the legside in the air.

    Notts think they've got a third wicket here for a second, but the ball has looped off Nick Welch's helmet out to point as he tries a pull shot.

    Dan Christian getting some decent bounce there. Single to finish the over for Welch after a change of lid and a checkover from the physio.

  15. Four overs in - four different bowlers for Notts.

    Outlaws skipper Dan Christian with his canny medium pacers from the Radcliffe Road End.

  16. Leicestershire 7-2

    Welch 6, Ackermann 0

    Nightmare start for Leicestershire.

    Three overs down and two wickets already fallen.

    A wicket maiden from Jake Ball to get his evening started.

    WICKET

    Lilley c Hales b Ball 1 (Leicestershire 7-2)

    Two down now Foxes!

    What a bizarre innings that was from Arron Lilley.

    Some pretty agricultural shot selection and he gifts his wicket away tamely with a loose drive straight into the waiting hands of Alex Hales at mid-off.

  18. Jake Ball with the third over as he replaces Imad Wasim from the Pavilion End....

  19. Leicestershire 7-1

    Welch 5, Lilley 1

    Arron Lilley the new man in at three for Leicestershire.

    Off the mark second ball and earlier in that over, Samit Patel was pulled away first ball by Nick Welch for the first boundary of the match.

  20. 'Built-up pressure'

    Notts Outlaws v Leicestershire 6-1

    Alex Hartley
    England spinner on 5 live sports extra

    That's from the built-up pressure at the other end. It's bizarre to think of Samit Patel as a bowling all-rounder. He's batting at number nine in this team.
