Graham Hume 39 (42b 4x4 1x6)
George Dockrell4/41 (8)

Dockrell came back into the attack to claim the final two wickets and lead his team to a comprehensive 78 run win over the Warriors.

The Warriors had two big partnerships, but the collapse in the middle order, meant that the Lightning were never under too much pressure bowling.

If it wasn't for a 54 run 8th wicket partnership between Austin and Hume then the defeat would have been a lot larger.

So the Lighting pick up a bonus point for the size of the win and stretch their lead at the top of the table to six points over the Knights.

Luckily we won't have long to wait until the next game, when the Knights will be playing the Warriors at Stormont.

Hopefully you'll be able to join me then, until then thanks for following the commentary today and I'll be seeing you on Monday.
