Ford slots his second drop goal of the evening. 30-20 #ERChallengeCup
Tovey with a penalty attempt as Welford Road falls silent.... and no mistakes from the number 10, who makes it a seven-point game. 27-20 #ERChallengeCup
George Ford adds a drop goal. 27-17 #ERChallengeCup
Will Boyde and Brad Thyer are introduced, replacing Josh Navidi and Corey Domachowski. 24-17 #ERChallengeCup
Clever play by Tomos Williams to stop Ben White from shipping out of the scrum, and the scrum half now relieves the pressure. 24-17 #ERChallengeCup
Tomos Williams will replace the injured Harri Millard, who looked in agony coming off. It seems that Lloyd Williams will go on the wing. Some fond memories of Lloyd on the wing... 24-17 #ERChallengeCup
Lee-Lo close for the interception, but the gamble doesn't pay off as the ball is spread wide to Olowofela. He storms downfield and feeds to Veainu, who is held up. 24-17 #ERChallengeCup
Olly Robinson replaces Seb Davies. 24-17 #ERChallengeCup
Leicester work the numbers on the right and a long pass releases Olowofela. He breaks infield to find Ben White in support, who has enough pace to make it the whitewash. Ford converts. 24-17 #ERChallengeCup
James Ratti and Dmitri Arhip replace Filo Paulo and Dillon Lewis 17-17 #ERChallengeCup
Well struck penalty from Tovey, and we're back where we started with half an hour left! 17-17 #ERChallengeCup
Harri Millard replaces Matthew Morgan, who hobbles off the field. 17-14 #ERChallengeCup
It seems that there is TMO here after all, as we look at Matthew Morgan's attempted score in the corner. No try is the conclusion after the ball was held up. 17-14 #ERChallengeCup
Tigers strike for an early second half try. Ford kicks for the corner, and the forwards set a strong platform. A well-worked move out of the back sees Olowofela cross in the far corner. Ford adds the extras from the touchline. 17-14 #ERChallengeCup
Brilliant noise coming from the Cardiff Blues Brothers here! 10-14 #ERChallengeCup
Great piece of defence by Lloyd Williams to hold up in the tackle, but Clancy comes back for a Leicester penalty, which is slotted by Ford. 10-14 #ERChallengeCup
Tovey slots the conversion out wide! 7-14 #ERChallengeCup
TRY! More strong carries, this time by the likes of Domachowski and Harries, sets us up in the 22. We earn the right to wide, and it's a strong carry from Lee-Lo, who manages to free the offload for Thomas to walk in. Well worked score! 7-12 #ERChallengeCup
The prop duo Dillon Lewis and Corey Domachowski combine to win a penalty on half way, and Tovey sends us into the 22. 7-7 #ERChallengeCup
Jason Harries returns to action. 7-7 #ERChallengeCup
Clever snipe from Lloyd Williams in midfield, and the scrum half is unlucky not to break clear as the defenders manage to cling on to his shorts. 7-7 #ERChallengeCup
Tigers look to go short from a line-out but there is a thumping hit from Paulo to stop Bateman from playing the quick ball to White. 7-7 #ERChallengeCup
Thomas sends it up high, and Veainu knocks on on the slide. We go wide through Domachowski and Seb Davies, before Tovey puts in a clever kick to find the corner. 7-7 #ERChallengeCup
Nice carries from Rey Lee-Lo and Matthew Morgan to give their side some front foot ball. 7-7 #ERChallengeCup
Tigers strike back through Sam Lewis, but Jason Tovey goes down after seemingly being taken down off the ball while attempting to recover. No TMO so the try stands and Ford adds the two points to make it all square. 7-7 #ERChallengeCup
Tom Youngs makes a break downfield, and finds Greg Bateman in support. But Lloyd Williams comes in with a try saving tackle to force a knock on. 0-7 #ERChallengeCup
Harri Millard replaces Jason Harries. 0-7 #ERChallengeCup
A big hit by Ben Thomas forces a knock on in midfield. 0-7 #ERChallengeCup
Ben Thomas steps in as first receiver and puts it out of the back to Tovey. He releases Harries, who breaks the line with a strong bust before shipping through the hands to Adams who finishes well in the corner. Tovey converts. 0-7 #ERChallengeCup
Good work from Josh Adams to offload to Lloyd Williams, who duly bumps off the challenge of George Ford. 0-0 #ERChallengeCup
The line-out is secured, and starts trotting forward, but goes down and Leicester are awarded the scrum. 0-0 #ERChallengeCup
Early pressure from the visitors here after a big charge down from Filo Paulo. Tovey eventually looks to unlock the defence with a kick and Tigers are forced to concede the close-range line out. 0-0 #ERChallengeCup
Jason Tovey gets the game underway at a lively Welford Road. The drum already prominent! 0-0 #ERChallengeCup
