    Just like at Old Trafford Lyth just dived behind the rope to palm one to Finch. Truly brilliant catch and right below where I am sitting. Can't believe that just happened!!

    Incredible, saw it 'live' on TV. Even better than the one at Old Trafford!

    I was in the East Stand upper tier and the ball was flying directly towards me. It was a six all the way but then suddenly Lyth sort of threw himself backwards and sideways (if that makes sense) and palmed it a couple of yards away. Just like at Old Trafford Finch was waiting to snaffle it up but he still had a difficult catch to make.

    It was just the most incredible piece of cricket I have ever seen and I think that knocked the stuffing out of Leicestershire who looked comfortably odds on to win it. They just tailed off until the deficit got too big.

    There was a lot of brilliant fielding tonight, plus some sloppy stuff (on both sides). The two superstars got nothing between them in the way of runs but Finch took two brilliant catches. Great game, thoroughly entertaining three hours in the sunshine. Wonderful stuff :)
