Ben McKinney faces three dot balls, seeing his bat beaten while attempting a big booming drive, then gets a single of his own at short third, with his shot dropped just short of a diving Chris Wood.
Incidentally, we've heard that Lewis Gregory has sustained an injury in the warm-up and is going to be replaced by Tom Hartley.

No surprises at the toss - after the low-scoring women's match on the same pitch, Originals captain Phil Salt chooses to bat at Old Trafford.
Hello there.
We're back at it as Manchester Originals face Birmingham Phoenix in the men's Hundred.
The women's match was, well, not the best - here's hoping this encounter is rather better.
Both teams are already eliminated, so they're playing for the sheer fun of it.
