Manley is back in the crease and looks to defend, the ball spins past the bat and he is hit on the back leg. The Umpire has no doubt and the finger goes up quickly.
Knights vs Reds, 8th Match at Cork, INTER-PRO, Aug 15 2023 - Match Result
The Reds have their lower order to thank for getting as close as they did to the Knights target.
McCarthy's Innings of 74 was the highlight for the Reds, and with the number 10 the second top scorer, it was always going to be tough to chase down.
Theo van Woerkom ended up with four wicket, although the Knights were probably wondering if they were ever going to get rid of the Reds stubborn tail.
The Knights pick up four points for the win and move back to the top of the IP50 table. They move four points clear with only four games to go.
Neil Rock has just been named the player of the match for his excellent batting earlier.
The next match in the IP50 is going to be on Thursday back here at the Mardyke when the Lightning are the visitors. Hopefully you'll be able to join me then.
Until then, thanks for following along with my commentary today, hopefully you enjoyed the game. This is Justin saying goodnight from Cork.
