Kenny had to come from behind in order to make the final after Lewis drew first blood by winning the first race in their best-of-three affair this afternoon.

However, the Bolton-born rider levelled up the semi, before easing into the final with a run-away win in the deciding race to book a meeting with New Zealand's Webster later on today.
