Ford chips the ball in the air over the top of the fielder at mid-on. The ball lands and runs away from the fielder. The ball hits the boundary and the Reds win!
Leinster vs Reds, 3rd Match at Dublin, INTER PRO, May 10 2022 - Match Result
Reds won by 5 wickets (with 21 balls remaining)
What a fantastic chase we saw from the Reds here today. Marshalled by a wonderful record breaking 150 for the Captain PJ Moor.
It wasn't only a day of individual records, this is the highest chase in IP50 history and the first time that the Munster Reds have beaten the Lightning in the IP50
With the late changes to the Lightning squad, the bowling always looked the weakest part of their line up, and so it proved. The Reds batter knew once they saw off Dockrell and McCarthy, that they could feast on the other bowlers and didn't they do that!
The five wicket win means that they move four points clear at the top of the table, don't they deserve it!
PJ Moor has just been named player of the match, he get's the award for scoring "Moor" runs then anyone today.
That just leaves me to thank you for following my ball by ball today, hopefully you'll join me on Thursday as the Warriors host the Knights at Bready. Until then, this is Justin Smyth saying night from Pembroke.
Ford makes sure that he gets in line with the ball and defends to short third
leans forward, clips the ball into the on-side. Short mid-wicket dives to his right to stop the ball
Tector back on
hits the pad and rolls into the off-side, another quick single for the Reds
ball dies on the way through to the keeper and Tucker can't stop it.
late cuts the ball down to wide third, the call is always two and they get home with time to spare
too full, Delany swings through the line and hits the ball in the air over the top of mid-wicket
bunted into the covers and sets off for the run, Ford is running to the danger end and gets home safely
full ball, driven down the ground, the bowler hops in frustration as the ball gets past him
Matt Ford who is averaging over 100 in List A cricket is in next
Dempsey is on to replace Dockrell
the short ball tactics finally works! O'Brien goes after another short ball, Balbirnie takes a couple of steps in from the boundary and dives forward to complete the catch. Excellent catch, but is it too late?
looks to go short again, this time Delany manages to get on top of the ball and pulls it out to deep square leg
mCCarthy is making sure that Delany is watching carerfully, bowls it short and the batter has to duck under the bouncer
Delnay is on the front foot and blocks the ball into the covers, happy to see McCarthy off I guess
pulled down towaqrds the long-leg boundary, there is a fielder down there but the ball doesn't reach him on the full
