Dockrell picks up his obligatory wicket to close out what's been a disappointing batting display from the Knights. Only two out of the top six made it into double figures, and they had to rely on a 43 run 7th wicket partnership to reach 123. The Lightning shared the wickets between them, with McCarthy and Delany both picking up three. Bowling the Knights out with 8 balls to go. Will 123 be enough? I guess we will fine out soon. Join me at 5:30pm for the chase. Match State: Innings Break
