and there you go that's it! McKinley gets onto the front foot and gets an edge on the ball again. It goes quickly to Joyce at first slip and he jumps up to catch the ball.
Knights vs Leinster, at Dublin, Sep 05 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary
It was fitting that Dockrell took the last wicket, to help the Lightning to an innings and 12 run win over the Knights.
It was really only a matter of time today, as the Lightning bowlers ground down the batsman. It was a credit to the lower order that the game lasted this long.
The Lightning dominated from the start and gained 24 points for the win, the Knights only get 4 points and will finish two points clear of the Warriors in second place.
By winning the last two games the Lightning finish on 68 points, 35 points ahead of second place. The truth is that it doesn't flatter them.
The Lightning have been the strongest team all season and they are lining up to receive the Hanley Energy Inter-Provincial trophy.
Its been a clean sweep of this years competitions for the Lightning, although the season isn't finished yet. There is still one more one-day game to go in Rathmines between these two teams on Sunday.
So hopefully you will be able to join us then, until then thanks for following my commentary over the past three days and this is Justin Smyth saying goodbye from Clontarf.
