  3. Trent Rockets win the toss and bowlpublished at 14:21 British Summer Time 13 August 2022

    Rockets going for three wins on the trot and they've already clocked their first of the day.

    Captain Lewis Gregory backing his bowlers to restrict the home team to a chaseable total.

    With two teams stacked with spinners and evidence from King's masterclass, this could definitely be a bowler's day.

    Oh, and remember. It's hot out there in the field.

  4. We Go Againpublished at 14:21 British Summer Time 13 August 2022

    And breathe.

    There's still three more Hundred games to come today so pace yourselves because we've got you covered all afternoon while you navigate from shade to shade with an ice cream or two to break it up.

    It's time for the men to get underway and if the weather isn't hot enough (it is) this game could heat things up even further.

    Manchester Originals are yet to register a win from their two games and haven't actually won since July 31st 2021 (that was 378 days ago!) In stark difference, Trent Rockets are two from two having brushed aside both Northern Superchargers and Birmingham Phoenix.

    Can they make it three on the bounce or can the OGs get their 2022 party started?

    Happy Saturday, Hundred fans! Have you melted yet?

    Georgie locked and loaded with an ice cold lemonade ready to guide you through the first half of the men's game between Manchester Originals and Trent Rockets.

    We're up and running already today and if you missed the action from the women's game, you missed the Alana King show as the Rockets romped to a 43-run victory.

    The Australian leggie not only took a hat-trick and finished with figures of 4-15, she also took a fantastic diving catch in the deep and, to top things off, hit an unbeaten 19 with the bat. Sarah Glenn also took an absolute worldie of a catch to dismiss Lizelle Lee, and Abi Freeborn smashed an unbeaten 45. Make sure you check out the video replays to see what's been happening.
