    This one has been middled!

    Phil Salt sends his old Lancashire team-mate Richard Gleeson to the cover boundary.

    Phil Salt knows that if he gets anything on the bat, it will run away to the boundary.

    The only field change that could be made is bring mid-on up and a deep backward point.

  3. Originals 11-0published at 5 balls

    Salt 11, McKinney 0

    And again. Phil Salt doesn't middle it but he gets four over backward point.

    I guess you could say Olly Stone is bowling too wide.

    Salt scored 60 in the first match and 41 in the second. He's in good form.

  4. Originals 6-0published at Ball 3

    Phil Salt ends with only one hand on his bat but his thrashing stroke brings him an early four.

    This game is a must win for the Originals having come from two defeats. Hopefully they can get some momentum into their Hundred campaign tonight.

    I make it 17 internationals from today's line-ups, plus the highly-rated McKinney, Farhan Ahmed, Sonny Baker and Jafer Chohan.

    All four of those have been tipped for England honours in the future.

    There are a few changes in the Originals XI. Highly-rated Durham opener Ben McKinney is in for his first outing of the competition.

    Josh Tongue, rested from his Test exploits, is in too. It's still a strong-looking Originals top order with Jos Buttler, Phil Salt and Heinrich Klaasen in there.

    Ollie Pope also makes his first Spirit appearance of the season, beefing up a top order that includes David Warner, Kane Williamson and Jamie Smith.

    Breaking

    The Manchester Originals have done the first job.

    Phil Salt has won the toss and, given the choice of what to do, has decided to bat.

    The hosts have left out James Anderson.

    The women's game was won by London Spirit.

    Can their men complete a raid on Manchester this evening?
