Warriors somehow manage to fight their way up to 227, which was mainly built on that excellent Innings from Shane Getkate Once again the Warriors batting hasn't sparked, with only 4 out of the 11 batters making it into double figures. Hoey was the pick of the bowlers and finished with 4 wickets, although Wilson will be happy with his 3 for 31. Please join me in 40 minutes for the chase, where weather permitting we will be back out there. Match State: Innings Break

Delany to Getkate, OUT, Getkate falls! Once again he is looking to sweep the ball legside, for once he doesn't get a good connection on the ball and can't clear the fielder at square leg. Wilson still has to jump up to complete the catch.

Delany to Getkate, SIX, Getkate gets down low, uses his wrists to flick the ball over the square leg boundary. Fantastic hitting, I think that he wants this century....

Delany to Getkate, SIX, Delany looks to get out of the over, and bowls the ball slow. Getkate has been out there for a while and must be seeing the ball cleanly, flat bats the ball back over the bowlers head for a maximum.

More rain seems to be falling now. Delany takes a tumble as he goes to deliver the ball, it might be getting slippy out there...

Delany to Getkate, FOUR, far too full, Getkate bends the back leg and drives the ball through cover. There is a fielder in the deep, but he can react quick enough to get near to the ball
