  1. Invincibles 52-3

    Walter looked in a fair amount of pain but he continues.

    But to rub salt in the wound, he strays down the leg side and Billings helps it along the way for four.

  2. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    I'm not sure what's happened to Walter here. He's pulled up in his follow through.

  3. Invincibles 47-3

    Paul Walter - who earlier took that fantastic grab - is introduced to the attack. The tall seamer starts with a slower delivery which deceives Billings.

    The next delivery is clipped down the leg side and a poor piece of fielding from Richard Gleeson gifts Invincibles a boundary.

    Now then - this is not good for Originals. Walter has pulled up in his follow through and is holding his right shoulder. On comes the physio.

  4. Invincibles 43-3

    It's spin from both ends as South African star Tristan Stubbs turns his arm for the first time.

    After four quiet deliveries, Billings dances down the wicket and middles it down the ground for four glorious runs.

  5. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Two

    Great start. The quick bowlers in particular have been really impressive.

  6. Chris Woakes
    England all-rounder on BBC Two

    A rebuilding job is required.

  7. Invincibles 36-3

    The spin of Tom Hartley returns as Curran and Billings work the singles. No signs of intent or aggression from the Invincibles pair.

  8. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    It's not been a great powerplay for the Invincibles.

  9. Josh Little is banging it in - and it's working a treat for the Originals.

    Joshua Little's bowling: 0% full, 18% good length and 82% short. 10 balls, 6 dots, went for 5 runs, took 2 wickets with an economy of 0.50 runs per ball.

    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    At that pace, if you get anything from the middle of the bat on it it's going for six.

    Invincibles 32-3

    Did I mention Invincibles' captain Sam Billings is out in the middle? Don't think I did.

    Some much-needed runs for Invincibles as a full toss from Gleeson is given the treatment it deserves, with Billings whipping it into the leg side for six.

  13. Manchester Originals' Wayne Madsen on the player mic: "[Paul Walter] was like a salmon leaping through the air there.

    "It was important that we started off early. The pitch looks a belter."

    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    This now, in a one-off game, is a brilliant start for the Originals. They couldn't have wished for a better start.

    They'll be thinking if they can just get Sam Curran out now.

  16. Invincibles 23-3

    New batter Sam Curran has to fend off a shorter delivery which really jumps up on his.

    What a brilliant set of five from Josh Little.

  17. Chris Woakes
    England all-rounder on BBC Two

    It's a massive wicket. Will Jacks, the danger man. I'm not sure where he's trying to hit that ball. Maybe he's caught in two minds. That's what wickets in the powerplay do.

    WICKET

    Jacks c Lammonby b Little 2 (Invincibles 25-3)

    I can't keep up! Josh Little has two wickets in three balls. Invincibles are in disarray.

    Jacks looks to work it towards square leg but slices it up to Tom Lammonby. A simple catch. The home crowd are in full voice.

  19. Chris Woakes
    England all-rounder on BBC Two

    Taking those wickets early in the innings is so important. It really does stem those runs.

  20. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Two

    Great start for the Originals.

    It was a pretty simple catch even if it was into the sun.
