Live coverage of the NatWest Bank Trophy final from Lord's.
Leicestershire v Northamptonshire
Leicestershire are in their first end-of-season Lord's final against five-times finalists Northants. Leicestershire last appeared at Lord's in 1985 in the Benson and Hedges Cup final when they defeated Essex. Their three other appearances at Lord's came between 1972 and 1975 in the same competition, when they were victorious twice. Now they hope to emulate Hampshire who won on their maiden visit to a NatWest final last year. Northamptonshire have won only two of their seven Lord's finals. They won this trophy when it was still the Gillette Cup, beating Lancashire in 1976, and also have a 1980 Benson and Hedges success to their credit. But they have lost their last four NatWest/Gillette finals. Captain Allan Lamb will be hoping for a change in fortune today.
