Railway Union have fallen to their fourth lowest total since 2011. Lunson finishes with 6-31 as Railway collapse to 109 all out. Railway's tiniest hopes of Premier cricket in the second half of the season are fading.
14:38
Matt Lunson takes another for Phoenix. Railway are now 109-9 and Lunson has 6-31, comfortably his best ever bowling figures for Phoenix 1.
14:28
Merrion's Peter Forkin may have grabbed the headlines today, but another spinner at the other end of the age spectrum is also putting his team in a strong position. Matt Lunson hasn't played top flight cricket for Phoenix since 2015, but he is making up for lost time, taking 5-26 so far, as Railway have gone from 78-2 to 103-7.
12:21
Phoenix's last win in Park Avenue was back in 2011, when 3-29 and 81* from Denmark coach Jeremy Bray saw a comprehension 8 wicket win. Since then Railway have won twice - a nine wicket Premier League win in 2013 (including a 196 run 2nd wicket partnership between Pat Collins and Kenny Carroll), and a three wicket Premier League win in 2016
