Luke Wood to Laurie Evans, SIX, drilled, back of a length and just outside off - Evans charges down the pitch and hammers the flat-batted drive over long-on. Manchester Originals finish with 189 on the board
99
Luke Wood to Philip Salt, leg byes, 1 run, shout for LBW, it's not given and they're reviewing it, has it pitched outside leg? Looked adjacent to the stumps - onto UltraEdge and there's no bat. Onto ball-tracking now: it's marginally pitched outside leg and NOT OUT will stay - was the slower ball from Wood, Salt was a long way across on the sweep and missed, flicked the pads on its way to the keeper
97
H
Luke Wood to Philip Salt, SIX, thumped, Wood misses his yorker by a bit - allowing Salt to get under and then swing the slog over deep mid-wicket, has enough to clear the fielder in the deep
96
Luke Wood to Philip Salt, 2 runs, a skier and Salt gets a second reprieve, this was full and wide of off, Salt was left reaching out on the drive, sliced it high and over backward point - Shamsi circled under the swirl, has to dive in the end and makes a mess of it
93
4
Fletcher to Philip Salt, FOUR, beautifully played, nothing wrong with the ball as such, very full and angling into the right-hander, Salt shuffled across and the whips it through mid-wicket, split the gap between the two fielders in the deep to perfection
90
4
Daniel Sams to Philip Salt, FOUR, a full-toss and it's hammered over square leg, bouces just short of the ropes, on the half-volley and it's given as a boundary, can't bowl full-tosses, Salt swivels across and swipes it over square leg
88
6
Daniel Sams to Laurie Evans, SIX, beautifully played, on a length and angling across the right-hander, Evan gets across, waits on the ball and deposits it over square leg with the sweep, into the construction debris she goes
86
4
Daniel Sams to Laurie Evans, FOUR, cheeky and four, slower ball at the stumps, Laurie Evans shuffles across, makes the most of the little pace on offer and laps it past the keeper, fine leg is inside the ring and has no chance

Shamsi to Tristan Stubbs, out Caught by Hales!! Shamsi has his man, but that has come at a cost - was another wrong 'un. pushed through slower and wider of off, stayed a tad low as well - Stubbs had to reach out on the pull, dragged it high and towards long-on - Hales moves across to his left, the ball was dying onto him, but he stays besides it and clasps it. End of a handy cameo though. Tristan Stubbs c Hales b Shamsi 27(10) [6s-4]
79
6
Shamsi to Tristan Stubbs, SIX, make that four in a row, Tristan Stubbs is having some fun here - was the attempted wrong'un, but the length is a tad too full, allowing the right-hander to get under and smoke him back over his head
78
6
Shamsi to Tristan Stubbs, SIX, hat-trick of sixes, and the South African is taking his fellow national mate to the cleaners, way too full from Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs gets a big stride forward and thumps it back over the bowler's head for a maximum
77
6
Shamsi to Tristan Stubbs, SIX, back-to-back sixes for Tristan Stubbs - didn't get hold of the swipe, but has enough to clear Hales at long-on - had to reach out on the wrong 'un, sliced it high and towards long-on - Hales watches all along, but then it's hit just well enough to clear him
76
F
Shamsi to Tristan Stubbs, SIX, lovely, tossed up at the stumps, Stubbs gets down low, picks the length early and mows the sweep over deep mid-wicket, the fielder thought he was in the game, but watches it sail over his head
66
W
Samit Patel to Russell, out Caught by Hales!! Huge wicket in the context of the game - long-off was straight, but Hales was quick to sprint across to his right and takes a safe reverse-cupped catch. A low full-toss and Russell went hard on the drive, hit it flat though and straight to Hales, who doesn't drop those. Russell c Hales b Samit Patel 16(10) [4s-1 6s-1]
65
4
Daniel Sams to Russell, FOUR, smashed, too full from Sams - Russell clears his left leg and drills the drive wide of extra-cover, went at a rate of knots and no one had a chance
57
6
Shamsi to Russell, SIX, clubbed, powerfully struck by Russell - tossed up invitingly around off, he gets down low, gets a lot of muscle behind the slog sweep and sends it soaring over wide long-on for a maximum
51
W
Samit Patel to Buttler, out Caught by Hales!! There's the wicket that the Rockets needed badly - smart bowling from Samit, sensed that Buttler was staying back, slowed down the pace and drifted it on a shorter length, Buttler backed away on the pull, lost his poise as he went too hard and miscued it badly, high in the air and straight down long-on's throat. Buttler c Hales b Samit Patel 41(25) [4s-3 6s-2]
48
4
Shamsi to Philip Salt, FOUR, beautifully played, flighted delivery at the stumps, Salt gets across and then sweeps it backward of square on the on-side, the fielder in the deep didn't pick it up and went the wrong way, not sure it would have mattered though
39
6
Gregory to Buttler, SIX, lovely, pitched up by Gregory - Buttler gets a good stride forward and drives it through the line, sends it soaring over mid-on and over the ropes for a maximum
30
4
Fletcher to Buttler, FOUR, expensive start from Fletcher, once again the slower short ball goes horribly wrong, short and wide of off, Buttler waits on it and cuts it up and over backward point. 16 from that set of 5 balls
28
4
Fletcher to Philip Salt, FOUR, cracking shot, this is innocous bowling from Fletcher, was the attempted slower short ball, but it simply sat up to be smacked - Salt swivels across, waits on it and then drills the pull past mid-wicket
27
6
Fletcher to Philip Salt, SIX, hammered, back of a length and at the stumps, too short and Fletcher doesn't have the pace to threaten the batter - Salt rocks back and pummels it over mid-wicket, into the construction debris
25
4
Daniel Sams to Buttler, FOUR, nicely played, change of pace from Sams, but Buttler spotted it early, waits on the ball and then clears mid-on with a thumping on-drive, bounces away to the ropes - ends the batting powerplay in fine fashion
20
6
Samit Patel to Buttler, SIX, magnificent, tad too short from Samit, Buttler stays deep in the crease, rocks back and then pummels the pull over mid-on, went a long way into the crowd
18

Samit Patel to Philip Salt, FOUR, cracking shot, tad too short from Samit, Salt backs away and then punches the cut through cover, runs away across the fast outfield
15

Luke Wood to Buttler, FOUR, cheeky and four, 'the Buttler scoop', says Nasser Hussain on air - shuffles across, uses the pace on the ball and helps it on its way, over short fine and bounces right in front of the ropes

4
Luke Wood to Philip Salt, FOUR, nicely played, the first boundary of the day, too straight from Wood, on the pads and Salt clips it backward of square on the on-side - Samit was inside the ring at fine leg and has no chance
