There's no point in trying to work the ball around. You've just got to hit fours and sixes. The Manchester Originals are really under the cosh now.

Decent debut.

Turner st Billings b Narine 13 (Originals 57-6)
That is a very sharp piece of work from Sam Billings.
Ashton Turner went for a reverse sweep, fell over as he missed the ball and as he stumbled, Billings quickly whips off the bails.
Manchester Originals are well and truly unravelling.

Is there another? Sam Billings thinks he has Ashton Turner stumped.

Lovely way to start your innings!
Jamie Overton nails his first ball into the stands, straight down the ground.

Walter c Klaasen b Sowter 4 (Originals 48-5)
Four and out for Paul Walter!
The tall all-rounder gets a bit lucky with the boundary, edging one past his stumps, but Nathan Sowter gets his revenge next ball as Walter goes for another big shot, but picks out Heinrich Klaasen - who is having a very good day out.

Buttler c Jacks b Sowter 23 (Originals 44-4)
And that job gets even harder as Jos Buttler departs.
England's white-ball skipper never quite got going, falling for 23 from 24 balls.
Oval Invincibles are well and truly on top.
Originals 43-3published at 50 balls left
At the halfway stage, things are looking pretty tough for the Originals.
In fact, that's a bit of an understatement. They need 144 from 50 balls.
Originals 39-3published at 53 balls left
Great reply.
Full, quick and Buttler's swing is nowhere near it.

Oops!
Gus Atkinson bowls a stray one at head-height to Jos Buttler but it goes past his shoulder safely.
It's called a no-ball, and here's the free hit...

Here's the first of those three quick wickets to fall, Gus Atkinson deceiving Phil Salt with a canny slower ball.

Holden c Klaasen b Narine 0 (Originals 25-3)
Another! Sunil Narine works his magic for Oval Invincibles once more.
Max Holden tries to smash his second ball out of the park too, but picks out Heinrich Klaasen who takes the catch after a little juggle.
187 looks even further away now.
