    That went 83 metres. He'll tell you he didn't time that all too well.

    It's the Andre Russell show now. He launches another six over the top off the bowling of George Garton.

    That's the power we are talking about. That's flat-batted all the way.

    Fuller's a clever bowler, he predominantly hits the wicket. Russell is powerful, so I am looking forward to this match-up.

  7. 6 runs

    Originals 115-2published at 74 balls

    Huge from Andre Russell.

    Pure power this as he swats a flat six over the legside.

  8. Originals 106-2published at 70 balls

    Braves' Dan Moriarty is done for the day, finishing on 0-28 off his 20 balls.

    I get the feeling the Originals are going to go big in the next few balls.

    Jos Buttler finds a gap to bring up his second half-century of this season's Hundred.

    I'm not sure that is good cricket, that's some lazy running there.

    Madsen run out (Stoinis) 9 (Originals 99-2)

    Poor from Wayne Madsen.

    He doesn't ground his bat and isn't expecting Marcus Stoinis to hit the stumps.

    Fantastic blow from Buttler. It does feel evenly poised here.

  16. 6 runs

    Originals 90-1published at 60 balls

    Oh that is huge!

    Marcus Stoinis is called for a no-ball and Jos Buttler punishes him with the free hit, launching it down the ground for six.

  17. Originals 78-1published at 55 balls

    Eight runs from the latest James Fuller set. Time for Marcus Stoinis to return to the attack.

    With mid-off and mid-on up in the ring, that's Fuller gifting Buttler a four.

  19. Originals 74-1published at 51 balls

    Buttler 32, Madsen 3

    And the pressure is released straight away as Jos Buttler wallops James Fuller over the top for four.
