It is short of a length and Clarke goes back and gets cleaned up. The ball skipped on. He does have some variety does Howell, hiding the ball in his hand during his run.
But wait, here comes another gun...
Originals 48-1
Need 40 from 70 balls
Too easy for the Originals.

That was another wonderfully deft shot. It's not all about power in the short game.
Originals 46-1
Need 42 from 72 balls
Another little tickle to leg brigs Buttler four more. Tahir simply can't catch the ball as it powers away.
Originals 42-1
Need 46 from 73 balls
Liam Livingstone into the attack. Mighty big ask for him to salvage his side here, even on his home ground.
Buttler shows him respect.
Originals 42-1
Need 46 from 75 balls
Powerplay ends. It belongs to the Originals despite the wicket of Salt.

Originals 41-1
Need 47 from 76 balls
BOOM! One bounce and a four after Tahir over-pitches. Buttler is looking to get an early night.
Originals 36-1
Need 52 from 78 balls
Oh, four more. Buttler just tickles this off his pads and sends it fine of the fielder. It races away.

What is good about the safe living environment we have here at Old Trafford is we have a big room where we can socialise with the other members of the men's and women's team and watch the cricket or football or whatever.
Originals 32-1
Need 56 from 79 balls
Tahir carries on for another set of five. Understandable.
Originals 32-1
Need 56 from 80 balls
Still massive advantage to the Originals. Phoenix need to rip through this top order to stand a chance.

Birmingham will know this Manchester line-up is a batter short.

Salt b Tahir 22 (Originals 32-1)
One shot too many!
Tahir loves this as he skids one past a stabbed shot from Salt and clatters middle stump.
The Phoenix are up and running with the ball.
Originals 32-0
Need 56 from 83 balls
Four more.
Originals 28-0
Need 60 from 84 balls
Tahir returns and is absolutely smashes through cover off the back foot by Salt. Four more.

Originals 24-0
Need 64 from 85 balls
The Originals are not hanging around. They smell blood.
Buttler gets a bit lucky with a sweep. The ball hits his pad and loops over the keeper for a single.

Phil Salt knows if he hangs around too long, there's one with his name on it, so he's getting on with it.

Clarke b Howell 6 (Originals 48-2)
Where has Benny Howell pulled this out from?!
It is short of a length and Clarke goes back and gets cleaned up. The ball skipped on. He does have some variety does Howell, hiding the ball in his hand during his run.
