Never seen so many LBWs given. We got 6 in their innings.

What a shame Smith just failed to get 50.

Surely when his contract is up Norwell will not be offered a new one.

As soon as TV viewing figures drop, once the novelty wears off, this format will be confined to the WPB

Rhodes catch for the 9th wicket was out of the top drawer! I suppose the floodlights won't get switched on!! How many Leics supporters were looking to come down after work, I wonder.

Rhodes has just stopped him getting all 10!!

He's there for such a short time it makes no difference where he bats

Opportunity for Benjamin

While it is good to stick with a winning team it might be a good idea to bring in a couple who have not featured throughout just in case injury etc forces a change upon us at quarter and final days.

Good comeback over from Garton after Friday night

It wass noticeable that as they came off the field a number of players came over to him obviously in support. I am sure he will be told it's cricket, it happens and hopefully he is picked for the next game and comes out fighting.

A very fair description of a disapointing night for the Bears. Really felt for Garton.

And Moeen will get them in singles !!!

That 17th over may well cost us the game - upped the run rate required from below 10 an over to 11. Big call

It's all about making money, from TV and spectators, and so little about competitive games

Having someone who stays fit will be a bonus. Looks promising.

Well Bears have had worse days!!! We didn't even complete the power play!

Only 2 boundaries - is that some sort of record?
Only 16 runs in the Power Play - is that too a record?

Let's hope we can knock these runs off quickly and give us a really good run rate,

36 - 6, pleased that Lintott has taken a wicket.

And yet his bowling has appeared most wayward. All in all excellent so far and Moeen hasn't bowled yet!!

That was a great last over - 4 overs from home I thought we were on the way to defeat. They just don't give up,
