Glamorgan seamer Marchant de Lange served up a double helping of pain for Leicestershire's Mathew Pillans in the T20 Blast quarter-final in Cardiff.

Bowled off the elbow!

That was the odd way Leicestershire's Mat Pillans fell in Wednesday's T20 Blast quarter-final against Glamorgan - the 26-year-old seeing Marchant de Lange's short ball trickle off his body and onto his poles.

It was a sorry tale with the bat all the way through for the Foxes, though, as Clint McKay's men were bundled out for 123 in 19.2 overs after winning the toss and electing to bat in Cardiff.

Luke Ronchi (28 off 18) unleashed some lusty blows early on but Craig Meschede (3-17) and the Glamorgan attack then took over - Leicestershire losing five wickets for 15 runs between the 12th and 16th overs.

Foxes only managed to bag one wicket in reply, that of Aneurin Donald, as the hard-hitting Colin Ingram (70no of 43) and Glamorgan skipper Jacques Rudolph (46no) smeared an unbroken second-wicket stand of 121.
