The Lightning got off to a shaky start with the loss of their openers, Tucker came in and played a very well to hold the innings together. It was a shame that he fell so close to his century.

There could have been another wobble but Simi Singh and Kane came together, under a barrage of short balls, to get the Lightning within touching distance.

Before the Captain came out to win it.

The Knights bowlers impressed in spells and Delany was really charging in throughout his second spell.

If the Lightning had to chase another 30 to 40 runs then it could have been a nervy finish.

Its been a great day of cricket and now we only have one more day of action before the Men's season draws to a close. We are back down here at Malahide on Monday as the Warriors are the visitors. I hope that you will be able to join me then.

It might have turned cold but the ground is a sight as the sun sends the shadows across the ground and with blue skies above, this is Justin saying goodnight.

Delany to Kane, OUT

Kane looks to finish it off with another big hit, the ball flies high in the air and its heading down to long leg. Getkate is back on the rope, looks down to make sure he isn't going to go over the rope and takes the catch
