Tom Hardwick shows nerves of steel to slot the match winning penalty in injury time. 11-14 #ERChallengeCup

Tovey's boot yet again finding hands out wide - Amos on this occasion - and there's an opportunity to attack, but Leicester win a penalty and have the chance to grab the win in the final play. 11-11 #ERChallengeCup

Huge tackle from Matthew Morgan to save a certain tackle. Next phase sees Leicester throw a wayward pass into the hands of Assiratti, and Lloyd can clear. 11-11 #ERChallengeCup

76

Leicester manage to turn the ball over and clear. 11-11 #ERChallengeCup

Summerhill's elbow was in touch, no try given. The wing very unlucky not to claim his second of the evening. 11-11 #ERChallengeCup

72

The scrum is won, and now the pressure is on the Tigers defence. Tovey again finds Summerhill with the chip, and the wing has done his best to squeeze in at the corner. We'll have a look at it... 11-11 #ERChallengeCup

Wow! So close to an unbelievable try there. Amos takes the ball on the half volley, and wins the footrace, but is taken down just short of the line and the ball is knocked on. 11-11 #ERChallengeCup

Tigers' worth is penalised for going off his feet. Evans fancies his chances from out wide. 11-11 #ERChallengeCup

Nice work down the right from Leicester as a perfectly-timed pass from George Worth puts Thompstone clear. Rey Lee-Lo recovers brilliantly but play is bought back for a penalty to Leicester. 11-8 #ERChallengeCup

35

Try

It's an immediate reply! Big carry from Boyde gives the platform. Nick Williams pulls a pass behind to Tovey, who finds acres of space for Summerhill with a crossfield kick. Conversion is off target. 11-5 #ERChallengeCup
