The net ionic equation is: Ag++ClAgCl(s)

Explanation:

And the lithium, and nitrate ions, are the spectator ions. In solution, the Li+, and NO3 ions are along for the ride, and do not participate in the reaction. On the other hand, silver chloride is as soluble as a brick, and precipitates from solution as a curdy white solid.
