Live Reporting

Amy Lofthouse and Matthew Henry

  1. Oval Invincibles pick Chris Wood

    Not the Burnley striker. It's Hampshire's left-arm seamer.

  2. Manchester Originals pick Marchant de Lange

    "Someone who bowls at 90mph would be nice," says Jos Buttler.

    And he gets a bit of pace - South Africa's Marchant de Lange! He's a big fella, as they say up here.

  3. London Spirit sign Zak Crawley

    Batsman Zak Crawley, a man with a big future, is signed by London Spirit.

  4. Birmingham Phoenix pick Adam Zampa

    Birmingham Phoenix use their last overseas pick, and it's a doozy.

    Australia leggie Adam Zampa is Vettori and co's latest choice.

  5. Birmingham Phoenix pick Henry Brookes

    Local lad Henry Brookes is signed by Birmingham Phoenix.

  6. London Spirit pick Adam Rossington

    Northants wicketkeeper and right-handed batsman Adam Rossington is off to London.

  7. Manchester Originals pick Joe Clarke

    Simon Katich is having a giggle about something. Joe Clarke is picked by Manchester.

  8. Oval Invincibles pick Will Jacks

    Now that is a good buy.

    Will Jacks, who was smashing the ball around for fun in a T10 warm-up recently, is Tom Moody's latest selection.

  9. Welsh Fire pick David Payne

    Gloucestershire's left-armer David Payne is off to Welsh Fire.

  10. Northern Superchargers pick Nathan Rimmington

    Lehmann means business. He's taken his glasses off.

    Aussie right-arm pacer Nathan Rimmington is their latest choice.

  11. Southern Brave pick George Garton

    Mahela looks calm. He never was a man to get flustered.

    George Garton is the next into the squad.

  12. Trent Rockets pick Dawid Malan

    Nice and quick!

    Dawid Malan, a big T20 hitter, is off to Trent Bridge and those short boundaries...

  13. Round six, away we go...

  14. Birmingham Phoenix need a wicketkeeper...

  15. Here's how things stand...

    Draft

  16. Welsh Fire's Tom Banton: "I'm not looking forward to facing Mitchell Starc or Liam Plunket in the nets!

    "I've worked with Tres a bit this summer and it will be good to work with Gary Kirsten. He's good friend with my dad I think!"

  17. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Delray Rawlins is a very talented cricketer. He'll be very happy to be playing with Jofra Archer. If you look at a lot of the teams players are playing alongside friends and I think he'll really enjoy it.

  18. There's just four selections left for each team - and, of course, a wildcard before the tournament starts next year.

  19. Manchester Originals head coach Simon Katich: "We're happy. There's a lot of good players in the draft. There's a lot of talent up there in the squads so far.

    "We've got a lot of experience in our side but also some youthful players who will be keen to make their mark.

    "Dane Vilas has done a wonderful job as Lancashire captain and we wanted a lot of leaders at the top. We wanted to lock him in early because we didn't want to take any risks with the leadership."

  20. Smithy speaks...
