Day One of the Hanley Energy Inter-Provincial Championship: Northern Knights v North West Warriors, at The Green, Comber.

A superb century from James McCollum (116) helped the Northern Knights to an all out total of 247 on day one of the IP Championship fixture, against North West Warriors.

The situation earlier in the innings had looked perilous as the Knights slumped to 17 for 4, before McCollum rescued the situation.

At the close of play the game is delicately poised with the Warriors on 73 for 2, with Ireland Internationals William Porterfield and Niall O'Brien the not out batsmen.

Day 2 tomorrow at Comber starts at 11am.
