Wayne Madsen's struggling to get off strike as Dan Moriarty doesn't give him any width.
Great bowling from the Brave to slow the Originals right down.

BBC RadioSpin worked well in the women's game earlier and Lintott has impressed too.

Spinning is winning. Jake Lintott's latest set goes for four runs, also bringing that key wicket.

BBC RadioJust spooning that one to long-off. Salt has propelled the Originals to a fantastic start. Deceived there by the flight from Lintott?

Salt c Stoinis b Lintott 38 (Brave 64-1)
One shot too many. Phil Salt doesn't get hold of a full delivery and ends up chipping is straight to Marcus Stoinis in the deep.
That's the wicket Southern Brave wanted. Wayne Madsen comes in at three.
Originals 64-0published at 40 balls
Buttler 25, Salt 38
James Fuller is the next bowler into the attack and he keeps things tight conceding just seven runs off his set of five.
I wonder when Phil Salt and Jos Buttler will flick that switch...
Originals 57-0published at 35 balls
That set finished with a mini appeal as Jos Buttler gets down low to try and sweep Moriarty but missed.
Not out, that was going down.

BBC RadioGlorious shot from Jos Buttler! As straight as it could be.

Jos Buttler isn't hanging about. Two steps down the crease and bang. Dan Moriarty is smashed for a maximum.

Originals 48-0published at 30 balls
Has the momentum swung back to the Brave? They need wickets soon though.
Salt and Buttler look poised for big scores.
Originals 47-0published at 28 balls
Good start from new bowler Jake Lintott. He varies his pace and Jos Buttler can't make any contact. Two dots and a single.

West Indies all-rounder on BBC radioManchester Originals are ahead of the game at the moment. We all know Jos Buttler is still out there and can change the face of the game in a couple of balls.

Salt 32, Buttler 13
And we finish the powerplay with a Phil Salt edge for four.
The Originals will be happier than Brave after 25 balls.

OUT OF THE PARK!
Don't bowl short to Phil Salt, he launches one into space over the legside.

Buttler 12, Salt 22
Michael Hogan continues, but Jos Buttler is in the mood now. He turns and scoops the ball over his head for a one-bounce four.
