Leicestershire v Derbyshire
Live coverage from Grace Road,
Leicester, of this second one-day semi-final in the NatWestTrophy.
Leicestershire, the only county among this year's semi-finalists neverto have won the 60-overs-per-side trophy, will be hoping to make home advantage pay as they strive to reach the final at Lord's on 5 September. It would be theirsecond visit to Lord'sthis season, although they will have unhappy memories of the first, when Essex skittled them for 76 to win the Benson and Hedges Cup.
Leicestershire reached the semi-finals by demolishing Warwickshire at Grace Road in the quarter-finals. They bowled out the visitors for a paltry 98, thanks mainly to a five-wicket performance by Alan Mullally , before cruising home by eight wickets. Derbyshire booked their semi-final place with a surprise five-wicket win over Surrey at the Oval,
Michael Slater and Kim Barnett giving the team a perfect platform to overhaul
Surrey's moderate total of 217 with a 162-run opening stand.
Introduced by Richie Benaud with commentary coming from Jack Bannister and Geoffrey Boycott.
Producers Alan Griffiths. Helen Kuttner.

Coverage of tonight's Weltklasse Grand Prix meeting from the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich, Switzerland. World records tumbled at this gathering last year-to Denmark's Wilson Kipketer, who lowered Seb Coe's 16-year-old 800m world best, his Kenyan near namesake Wilson Boit Kipketer in the 3,000m steeplechase, and Ethiopia's Haile Gebrselassie in the 5,000m. Gebrselassie and Wilson Boit Kipketer are running this year, along with Morocco's 1500m world champion Hicham El Guerrouj and Canada's world and Olympic 100m champion Donovan Bailey.

British interest includes Mark Richardson and Iwan Thomas in the 400m, up against the USA's Michael Johnson, and Jonathan Edwards in the triple jump. For many athletes this is the last top-quality outing before the European championships, starting in Budapest next week.

Highlights are at 12 midnight.
