  1. Originals 157-5published at 81 balls

    Inside edge from Paul Walter, just past leg stump and it runs away fine. Four more to the Originals total.

    Jamie Overton batted once at six and three times at seven in this year's Hundred. In those four innings he faced 68 balls and scored 144 runs at 211.76 strike rate, averaging 72 with two dismissals.

    No other batter in The Hundred who batted six or below has ever struck at a better rate than Overton (minimum four innings played).

  3. Originals 153-5published at 80 balls

    Jamie Overton is the new batter and gets off the mark with a two clipped into the leg side. Good running.

    Evans b Sams 14 (Originals 151-5)

    Pace off works again!

    Daniel Sams gets another slower ball just right and deceives Laurie Evans.

    The batter wasn't helped by catching his bat against his pad but it's another wicket for the Rockets.

  5. Originals 150-4published at 76 balls

    Oh dear. That is village cricket stuff from Lewis Gregory as he lets the ball bobble through his legs at mid-wicket.

    That turns what should have been into a dot ball, a two for the Originals.

  6. Originals 148-4published at 75 balls

    A pair of twos for Paul Walter to begin Luke Wood's set before the bowler beats him with a well-executed slower ball.

    Just a couple of singles to end the set. The Rockets bowlers have come back extremely well since that Phil Salt onslaught.

    Here's how Max Holden was dismissed for 14.

  8. Originals 142-4published at 70 balls

    Laurie Evans gets four with a top-edged hook shot that sends the ball up and over the wicketkeeper for four!

    A bouncer from Lewis Gregory is then too high and called a no-ball so despite losing a wicket first ball, it's a decent set for the Originals.

    Scoring runs has looked far tougher since Phil Salt got out, though.

    Turner c Cook b Gregory 10 (Originals 133-4)

    Pulled by Ashton Turner and superbly held by Sam Cook in the deep!

    Turner just swivelled on it rather than really trying to smash it and that allows Cook to come around and take a very good tumbling catch.

    Originals 133-3published at 65 balls

    Swung over long on for six by Ashton Turner!

    The ball only just crept over the boundary cushion but with the fielder positioned wide at long off, there was no one to stop it.

    Here's how Phil Salt's incredible innings came to an end...

  12. Originals 125-3published at 60 balls

    Wide full toss from Samit Patel to finish but it is just inside the wide line and Laurie Evans leaves it.

    A bit of a let off for the spinner but all dot balls are precious for the Rockets after the start the Originals made.

  13. Originals 123-3published at 57 balls

    Incredible placement from Laurie Evans.

    He flicks the ball out to deep mid-wicket, it doesn't seem to go with any great pace but it bisects the two fielders in the deep and trickles into the boundary cushion.

    Alex Hales is now indicating that he didn't see it.

    Trent Rockets have helped to cause their own pain and misery so far...

  15. Originals 119-3published at 55 balls

    Slower balls are helping to slow the run-rate. Lewis Gregory bowls a couple more to new batter Ashton Turner in another tidy set.

    Holden c Hales b Gregory 14 (Originals 116-3)

    Is the fight back on for the Rockets?

    It's a slower ball from Lewis Gregory, Max Holden walks down and tries to clear long off.

    He doesn't get the timing though and just slaps it to Alex Hales in the deep.

    Just joining us?

    You've missed an incredible display of hitting from Phil Salt.

    Here are four of his sixes for you to enjoy.

  18. Originals 115-2published at 50 balls

    No Salt, no party for the Originals. Not yet anyway as just three runs come from Ish Sodhi's set of five.

    Laurie Evans is in to join Max Holden, though, and he can hit a long ball as well so it might not be long before the ball is flying to all parts again.

    Salt b Cook 86 (Originals 112-2)

    Bowled 'im! The end of a phenomenal knock from Phil Salt, who walks off to a standing ovation.

    He moved across his stumps and was deceived by a slower ball from Sam Cook.

    Salt can't believe it, he knows there was a century there for him. But what an innings it was.

    Salt 86, Holden 13

    That is enormous!

    Phil Salt had obliterated that ball back over long on for yet another six!
