With that the rain comes hammering down again, the Umpires take the players off the field and that's probably going to be the end of the game. What a shame

It's just been confirmed that the game has been abandoned. The Umpires walked off with the stumps, so we had guessed that!

Its a shame as the game was building up to a close finish, but in the end the weather was the only winner today.

Both teams pick up 2 points and that means that the Lightning move back to the top of the table. At least until this time tomorrow.

The news has just come through that the reverse fixture of this game which was supposed to be at the Mardyke on Saturday is now going to be played here at Pembroke. It's too wet down there in Cork.

So thanks for staying with me today, hopefully you'll join me tomorrow when the IP50's head to Bready. Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying goodnight from Pembroke.

Rain starting to get a little heavier and the Umpires are calling the players off.

Match State: Delay - Rain

You would have to hope that this shower blows through quickly, we only have about 9 minutes of time to get back out again.

Otherwise that might be it.

Sadly the rain has started to come down even heavier now, the full covers are on. I can't see us getting back out there in the time that's availble.

6:20pm. Good news, the rain has stopped and we will be getting underway again at 6:26pm. Down to 20 overs.

Waiting for the new DLS target, looks like it might be 131. We can't afford anymore breaks here. No time left!

Right, we are back ready to go again. 76 needed off 12 overs, no more time spare.
