'What a catch!' - Root dismisses Hurst
Manchester Originals
Manchester Originals head coach Simon Katich, speaking to BBC Two: "Certainly not the start we were after, but credit to David Willey with the way he went about it.
"It is the third time we have played on this wicket and there are signs of low bounce and turn.
"The boys are always going to be up for it.
"We hang in there and stay in the contest as long as we can."
Singles are the order of the day for now, as far as the Manchester Originals are concerned.
Rehan Ahmed, unsurprisingly, has a huge grin on his face after that wicket of Klaasen.
Trent Rockets are in complete control at the halfway mark.

It went high into the sky, but Sam Hain settled underneath it.
Manchester Originals find themselves in trouble.
Rehan Ahmed's exceptional summer continues.
Klaasen c Hain b Ahmed (Originals 44-4)
And the pressure tells!
Nine from 16 balls is not the sort of strike-rate you see very often from Heinrich Klaasen - that is when you know it's a tricky pitch.
The former South Africa batter smashes it straight to Sam Hain at long-on.

You can feel the pressure here from Rehan Ahmed.
Close!
Heinrich Klaasen, one of the world's best players of spin, misses a reverse sweep off Rehan Ahmed but just keeps his foot behind the line to avoid being stumped.
Leg-spinner Ahmed is going to bowl 10 straight through...

That was a quicker one, Marcus Stoinis surprised Phil Salt.
Salt is batting in an unusual way.
Manchester Originals could do with a bit of luck, and Phil Salt gets some.
Marcus Stoinis tests him with a short ball, which flies off the top edge and over the keeper for four.

Image source, Getty ImagesDavid Willey in this game is only the sixth time a bowler has bowled his entire quota of 20 balls in the first 30 balls of a men's Hundred innings, and the first time someone has done it other than Dan Worrall.
His figures of 3-11 is also his best figures in The Hundred.
The destructive Phil Salt has only been able to watch from the non-striker's end as the chaos has unfolded.
He's got seven from 10 balls so far.

I wondered whether the pitch might skid on, but it has done the total opposite.
Somehow Manchester Originals need to find a way of finding the right score.

He is in total control of his game.
What a spell from David Willey, finishing with 3-11.
Manchester Originals have a big rebuilding job on their hands.

Image source, Getty ImagesTrent Rockets have been the standout bowling attack in the powerplay this season. On average they have conceded 27 runs in this phase.
In four out of five games this season, they have kept their opposition to less than 30 runs.
They are the most economical bowling unit and have also taken the joint-most wickets in this phase (10 along with Oval Invincibles).
Ah!
Heinrich Klaasen defends solidly.

If you can bowl it this well - why would you put it down? David Willey leading from the front with the ball.
Ravindra c Moores b Buttler 0 (Originals 26-3)
Two in two!
David Willey is playing a blinder as he keeps himself on to complete his 20 balls inside the first 30, and the decision pays off. He has New Zealand international Rachin Ravindra caught behind first ball and is now on a hat-trick!
Buttler c Moores b Willey 19 (Originals 26-1)
The perfect way to end the powerplay for Trent Rockets!
Outside the off stump, a hint of swing and Jos Buttler is tempted into a big drive but he can only edge it through to the keeper.
A shake of the head from Buttler as he departs for 19 from 16 balls.
Trent Rockets
Trent Rockets' Joe Root on the player mic: "It looks very slow.
"I think it might give a bit of turn. Crucial part of the game here. If we can break this partnership and take one more in the powerplay we will be in a really good position.
"140 would be a good score, I reckon."
