    Too straight again but what a hit, Phil Salt has batted really well through this innings.

    The Originals need something, a spark after back-to-back defeats.

    Oops.

    Salt was dropped off Shamsi earlier and now he's dropped him.

    And Salt rubbed in the wound as the next ball flies for six.

    Shamsi's dropped the catch. He never looked like catching it, he was flailing around underneath it.

    Phil Salt seasoning this innings nicely. This is going to be the highest score for the Originals ever in the Hundred. Maybe, just maybe, they are eyeing up ending their win drought.

    At least some kind of drought could finally come to an end.

    Oh yes, it's hot. Did I mention that yet?

  5. Welsh Fire women need 162 to winpublished at 15:42 British Summer Time 13 August 2022

    What an innings from Birmingham Phoenix who score 161-5 after being put into bat first by the Welsh Fire.

    It's the second-highest women's score in the Hundred.

    Australia's Ellyse Perry starred for the visitors with 58 off 31 while New Zealander Sophie Devine also struck 48 from 25.

    The hosts will need 162 to win at Sophia Gardens.

    Low full toss to finish from Sams. A pretty poor delivery and Phil Salt was able to whip it square.

    Low full-toss whipped square means Originals pick up another four. Luke Fletcher went for 16 from his first five and looks to be on next. The crowd cover their drinks in fear of spillage.

    15 balls left in this innings and these two will be looking to hit big. They still have some big hitters in the dugout who can come in and have a whack so it's worth the risk.

  10. Phoenix women targeting big finishpublished at 15:34 British Summer Time 13 August 2022

    Ellyse Perry falls for 58 off 31 balls, caught on the leg-side boundary.

    It means, with 10 balls to go, Birmingham Phoenix are on 144-4 against Welsh Fire.

    Will they better the women's Hundred's highest total of 166-3 that the Southern Brave scored against Welsh Fire last year?

    Here's just one of Salt's five boundaries...

  12. 50 runs

    50 for Saltpublished at Ball 82

    Salt 50, Evans 1

    Four fours and a six he's anchored this innings.

    After being dropped on 29 he's really capitalised. The crowd are hugely appreciative of this knock by Salt.

  13. 50 runs

    50 for Phoenix women's Perrypublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 13 August 2022

    Meanwhile in Cardiff, Ellyse Perry reaches her 50 off 26 balls with a simple single down the ground.

    The Australian's half-century has included nine fours. Will she continue to up the tempo with Birmingham Phoenix on 137-3 off 85 balls.

    Taken by Hales but even the bowler, Shamsi, shakes Stubbs' hand as he walks off.

    He has to take the applause because that was absolutely electrifying.

    Stubbs c Hales b Shamsi (Originals Men 137-3)

    And thus the party ends. But wow, it was fun!

    He looks to make it four in a row and hit the wrist-spinner back over his head (again). The ball was just a bit wider that time from Shamsi and Stubbs sliced it down the throat of Hales who now has three catches this game.

    Smashed to the party stand by Stubbs. They love it. He loves it. The Trent Rockets less so...

    And yes, we've lost the ball again!

    It's slowed down somewhat following those two big wickets. Salt is just going about his business quietly as he creeps towards a half-century. A misfield off the final ball of the set leaves him just needing one more.
