We actually practice facing full tosses in practice just for that reason, so many of them result in wickets.
Salt 44, Stubbs 1
The set Salt is still out there and he's been joined by a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Tristan Stubbs.
That was a great set from Samit Patel who finishes with 2-20 from his 20 balls. I know I wouldn't be too unhappy with the scalp of Buttler and Russell.

Full toss and Russell says, 'yes, please!' Oh no, it's been caught down beneath us! A terrific catch right by the boundary sponge.
Russell c Hales b Patel (Originals Men 103-2)
A low full toss bamboozles Russell who hits straight down the throat of Alex Hales.
He could have hit that anywhere. Alas...
Salt 43, Russell 16
The Mexican Wave has started and the fans are celebrating the hundred being up.
Russell is hitting the ball so hard I can almost feel it.
Patel to continue.
Salt 42, Russell 10
Don't say it.....don't say it....swinging like a rusty gate.
With 40 balls to go, Birmingham Phoenix will be eyeing up Southern Brave's record total in the women's competition of 166-3 which they scored against the Welsh Fire last year.
They're currently on 106-3 with Australia's Ellyse Perry on 40 off 18 balls.

Salt 42, Russell 9
Some decent turn here which will be just what the Originals will want to see as they start thinking about the next 100 balls.

Russell down on one knee, slog-sweeping the ball for six! He hit every bit of that, Andre Russell!
Halfway through Birmingham Phoenix's innings and they've sprinted their way to 91-3 off 50 balls.
We are in for some score folks with Australia's Ellyse Perry on 31 not out off 14.

Salt 41, Russell 2
Rockets will be relieved to have seen the back of Buttler but Dre Russ has entered and we all know what he can hit.
Buttler c Hales b Patel 41 (Originals Men 84-1)
Buttler goes aerial but top edges it high in the air. Snaffled by Alex Hales who can't blame the sun with that huge floppy hat on.
Buttler 41, Salt 40
Luke Wood is copping it from the crowd after completely missing the ball as it headed across the boundary.
If these two openers keep going at this rate, we are on for a huge total.

I wonder how Dawid Malan is feeling?

This is a good time to take the timeout. Just gives Trent Rockets a chance to slow the game down, have a break and disrupt the flow of the batting partnership.
Buttler 38, Salt 33
These two look so comfortable out there. Neither seems to be taking too much of the limelight and are working together nicely.
Drinks very much needed.
Did I mention it's hot?
Birmingham Phoenix's Sophie Devine goes for one shot too many and is removed by a brilliant, diving Alex Hartley catch at fine leg.
Hartley only just plucked that, juggling the ball at full stretch before holding on.
Danger batter Devine goes for 48 runs off 25 balls.
That Welsh Fire wicket hasn't slowed the Phoenix down though. The visitors are on 70-3 off 40 balls.
Catch all the action from Cardiff right here.
And just as I say that, he goes aerial. Straight back over Gregory's head for six.
