The Umpires are having a little chat as the rain starts to fall on the ground. They decide to take the players off 2:06pm The players come off with the Knights only needing 19 runs to complete an impressive victory. Just remember that we have no more time spare, so we will be losing overs here. The Knights are well ahead on DLS 2:17pm The rain has kept pelting down, and the game has been called. The Knights were well ahead on DLS and have won by 72 runs. We have been waiting all season for the Knights openers to click, and boy did we see it today. A record opening partnership of 132 broke the back of the chase. The damage wasn't just to the Reds bowling figures as Adair smashed a glass door in the Pavilion. He really had a smashing time. You'll not be surprised to know that Paul Stirling has been named the player of the match for his excellent 79 off only 34 balls, as the Knights pick up five points for the win. Which closes the Lightning lead at the top of the table to 11 points It's not going to be long, weather permitting, until the second match of today's double header. Where the Warriors take on the Lightning, so please join me for that game too. Until then, this is Justin saying goodbye from Bready.
