Full commentary
So that's it from us for this match. Do hop over to our coverage of the big Lahore v Mumbai match, which should be starting shortly.
Kane Williamson is man of the match: "Some balls stuck in the pitch and others skidded on, so it was interesting out there. They had a good score, so it was nice to get some partnerships going and chase it down.
Daniel Flynn: "The first ten overs didn't go the way we liked. We fought back well and it was a top knock from Kane. It's been unfortunate with the weather recently, but we got the result tonight. It's great to play in front of a crowd like this."
Aditi: "The best takeaway from this match has been the Northern Districts' pink pyjamas."
Express just didn't have the firepower with bat or ball, on this track. They didn't deal well with the short ball late in the innings, and the spinners didn't get much turn off. KW played a brilliant innings as well.
Losing captain Mubarak speaks: "It would have pretty good if Kusal had gone on. It was hard for guys to come in and get going. 92 was probably too few. In the next couple of matches we need to finish our innings better."

Maharoof to Williamson, OUT
gone this time. Maharoof exacts revenge, but it may be too late. This is a length ball, moving in off the seam. KW tries to chop it down to third man, but it goes in between bat and pad and rattles the stumps.

Maharoof to Williamson, FOUR runs
shot! False start or not, it doesn't matter. Williamson is unstoppable. He moves across the stumps again. Maharoof was expecting it and sent down a slower ball. KW is good enough to react and play the shot anyway, connecting well enough to collect a one-bounce four. That's 50 for him. Lovely knock.
False start. KW moves across the stump to set up for the scoop, but Maharoof holds on to the ball.

1
Maharoof to Harris, 1 run
slower ball, fullish outside off stump. Harris drives at it, but gets a thick inside edge down to long on. They think about two but settle for the single.
Karthikeyan: "Looking at Flynn's dismissal I was wondering how the keeper happened to be the bowler as well." It's a Perera-fest in SL cricket at the moment.
Maharoof comes back, meanwhile.

Perera to Harris, 1 run
Sharp work from Dilruwan, but it could have been so much better for Express. Harris hits the ball straight back, Dilruwan dives, collects and flicks it at the stump. If he had hit, KW would have been out of his ground. Instead they take a single off the overthrow
Daniel Harris is the new man.
