The John Player League featuring
Nottinghamshire v Leicestershire
Leicestershire, winners in 1974 and runners-up last season, started well this year and went quickly to the top of the table. That's where captain Ray Illingworth hopes to see them again in September. Nottinghamshire look to a combination of youth and experience to provide stiff opposition, with young players like Trevor Tunnicliffe , Philip Wilkinson and John Birch.
PETER WALKER introduces the programme, which includes news of today's other fixtures:
