Tom Scriven gets a single off Ryan Higgins out to cover. A leg stump guard for Nick Kelly, who chips the ball over the bowler's head for one.

The return throw is a good one at the non-striker's end but Tom Scriven is home. Or is he? Yes, we've had the replay and "not out" flashes up on the scoreboard. Close though.

Kelly is sat on the turf clearly in discomfort with the physio on. Cramp? Knee injury? He's having a drink and is back up.

Oh dear that was a mistake.

I can't believe he (Ben Green) was going for a six.

Now that has Middlesex believing again.

I'm loving hearing the Leicestershire fans over there.

It's a cricket atmosphere unlike any you normally get but it's been so enjoyable.

Nicky Kelly sees out the over on 81 not out.

80 to win off 108 balls.

He's been a hero in this competition, in the last Championship game at home to Hampshire - and he's the key for the Foxes again today.

All of a sudden it's the Middlesex fans in full voice.

Crucial wicket from Zafar Gohar.

Pressure on Nick Kelly batting with the tail on 63 not out.

Luke Hollman well bowl his leg spin.
