5:26 PM Next interpro action is back here in College Park in two weeks' time, July 1-3 with Lightning hoping to maintain their winning run, against the North West Warriors Join me again for commentary on that one, in the meantime, hope you have enjoyed this one and for the last time from College Park it's good evening
5:23 PM Van der Merwe finally coming to the party on the final afternoon and Andrew Poynter, now a genuine all-rounder? finishing the game. Only Larkin, Shannon and Simpson putting up any meaningful resistance.
5:22 PM It was always the likely result after the Knights' first innings collapse and only the danger of defeat threatened the home side's victory. But John Mooney fully justified batting on this morning, Lightning needed only 81.1 overs to bowl them out for a second time.
5:19 PM So after that stubborn sevneth wicket stand it all finished very quickly 15 minutes before the start of the final hour, victory for Lightning by 157 runs.

4:16 PM So two hours left and Lightning after three quick wickets at the start of that session finding it difficult. Just one wicket has fallen in the 32 overs and they need three in what is likely to be another 32 so still plenty of life in this game - if not an exciting life.
