Full commentary
It's been 47 minutes of pure domination from the Leinster Lightning and the Tector brothers in particular.
It always seemed that the Knight total wasn't going to be able to challenge this Lightning line up and so it proved. Tim Tector hit an unbeaten 81 off only 43 balls, ably supported by his brother at the other end.
Only Robertson for the Knights was spared any punishment as the Lightning have raced to their target within 13 overs and pick up their sixth bonus point win in a row.
You'll not be surprised to find out that Tim Tector has been named the player of the match as the Lightning stretch their lead at the top of the table to 16 points.
Thanks for following along today, and I hope that you'll join me bright and early tomorrow morning as the Knights take on the Reds at 10:45am. Until then this is Justin saying goodbye from Bready
