A wonderful evening's entertainment in Pembroke Cricket Club to mark Cricket Leinster's centenary. The Lightning push Middlesex close but in the end it is the experience of the English county side which sees them home by 5 runs in the end.
An excellent innings of 75 from Nick Gubbins and three wickets from Sam Robson prove the difference over Gareth Delany's half-century and Tyrone Kane & Peter Chase's three wickets each
Full delivery from Bamber and Hand can't get under it and it only squeezes to square leg for the leg bye
fielders moving everywhere as 6 brings a tie and a super over
squeezed away through backward point but fielded well
Looking to scoop again, Hand toe ends the ball into the leg side and they take the single
Pulled hard to fine leg and the mis-field on the boundary means the Lightning need 9 off 3 deliveries
driven to long-on who fields on the bounce
Driven to long-off but the pressure on the fielder gets a second run
swing and a miss from Hand this time and a massive last over is required
tries to do it again but misses this time
Audacioius from Hand as he scoops Finn over the keeper for the six, fantastic improvisation
Pulled into the leg side
Ford goes as he gets a leading edge that pops up to point for a simple catch
Finn picks up the wicket of the Lightning skipper as he feathers through to the keeper
Disappointment for Kane as he picks out cover
clipped into the leg side
too far outside off stump
swept towards cow corner and single taken
Kane gets in on the act with a big maximum to wide long-on
Mis-timed and squeezes to square leg
swing and a miss from Kane and the ball through to the keeper
