Live coverage from Grace Road of this NatWest Trophy 60-overs-per-side quarter-final match.

Leicestershire, who defeated Glamorgan by five wickets in the second round, have made it to the final only once - in 1992 - and are yet to win the competition. They experienced similar disappointment in the final of the Benson and Hedges Cup earlier this month, going down by a huge margin to Essex. By contrast, Warwickshire, who thrashed Kent three weeks ago, have secured the trophy on five occasions. Today's winners will be just one victory away from the final of the competition at Lord's in September.

Introduced by Tony Lewis, with commentary by Jack Bannister, Richie Benaud, Chris Broad and David Gower.

A film first shown on BBC South West continues the documentary series from the BBC Regions. Caring for a terminally ill child can be a stressful experience for parents. The diagnosis can be delivered insensitively, and many parents are then left to cope without any medical or emotional backup. The recent decision to commemorate the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, by setting up community nursing teams to support children has, as this documentary stresses, has highlighted a desperate need for skilled help right across the United Kingdom.

Against-the-clock gardening challenge series with Alan Titchmarsh, Charlie Dimmock and Tommy Walsh.
The team receive an unusual call out when their presence is required at Bromley Fire Station, Kent. The station commander, Bernie Jones, has always wanted to create a garden for the crew to relax in when they're on standby. While he is away on a course, the gardening team, with the help of eight firefighters, step in to try to grant his wish. Ultimately, though, it's Bernie who springs the big surprise.
