Laurence hit 74 not out from 42 balls but the rest weren't very good and we only made 165 on a hard pitch. We also didn't bowl that well although they did only reach the total with a couple of balls to spare.

We're only 8 points clear of the relegation zone so we need to get back to winning ways next week.
