100 up for the Originals as Phil Salt nails a pull shot for four!
The fielder didn't see it but I doubt he could have stopped it if he had.

Phil Salt wants a no-ball for height after missing with a hook shot to end Lewis Gregory's set.
It did look high but perhaps the umpires are feeling a little sorry for the bowlers?!
Originals 87-1published at 34 balls
Chance in the deep? Nope, Phil Salt flicks the ball off his pads and it has just enough to clear the fielder at deep backward square.
Six more! That's Salt's fourth six already.

Salt 62, Holden 1
Six more!
Incredible ball-striking from Phil Salt! Bravely tossed up by Ish Sodhi but there is no reward for it.
Salt hammers the ball back over his head for another maximum. This is outrageous hitting and it's no wonder the Rockets choose to take the strategic timeout.

Phil Salt goes to his fifty with a six! It's a free hit after a no-ball from Ish Sodhi and the spinner is made to pay!

That is a dolly!
Long hop from Ish Sodhi to start, Phil Salt is so keen to smash it over the ropes that he's a bit early on it and toe-ends the ball out to deep backward square where Sam Cook drops a very straightforward chance.
The way Salt is batting, that could be a very costly drop!

Strong shots down the ground and now a reverse sweep, over the point fielder for four!
What an onslaught this has been from Phil Salt!
Four more. He rocks backs and muscles this one over extra cover for another one-bounce four. Remarkable hitting.

Buttler c Sodhi b Sams 11 (Originals 42-1)
Breakthrough for the Rockets!
Slower ball from Daniels Sams and Jos Buttler doesn't time it as he tries to whip the ball through the leg side.
Ish Sodhi was waiting at mid-wicket and takes a good low catch. Will that stem the flow of boundaries?
