- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.1 ... and he strikes immediately! Crawley this time, picks out the fielder straight, only this time it's Currie at wide long off, taken in front of the Originals dugout 54/41.1 Across Malan, skied in the air... and taken by Buttler - it's Jimmy's first wicket in The Hundred! And would you believe it - he's smiling! Malan moved down, tried to upset that persistent length but pays the price 5/11.4 Given! Anderson pins the front pad, but was Lawrence outside the line? He thinks so and reviews... but he's a goner! Sharp nip off the surface struck the pad accordingly and was projected to be clipping the top of middle on umpire's call 13/28.3 Nailed... to mid off! Length again, outside off again, 74mph, Brook stands where he is and goes after it but lashes straight to Originals skipper Phil Salt! 53/318.4 Flayed to McKinney at deep cover! Hard, flat, having been sent down wide at 85mph... and nestles into the Durham youngster's hand. He doesn't have to move but he also had to deal with the sun in his eyes. Excellently done. 132/613.2 And there he goes! Felt inevitable, and it's another wide one chased, without any real conviction. Aspinwall hung it out wide, with a bit of zip off the surface, skewed to Buttler, diving right to take a smart catch. It's Aspinwall's first wicket in The Hundred 73/519.4 Smeared to midwicket... and brilliantly taken by McKinney! Initially flat, it dipped low and McKinney moved accordingly, sprawling forward to complete the dismissal. 139/719.5 Yorked 'I'm! Perfect delivery, pace off - 76mph - and Potts swing is on the wrong line. Quality from the 21-year-old, who finishes with 3 for 17.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.1 Snared by Crawley at long on! That skidded quicker off the bat, but Salt just did not get hold of that. Went high rather than far, towards the longest part of the ground. Comfortable from Crawley 31/22.4 Scuffed to midwicket! McKinney falls for a low score again... a poor shot, really, sat up in the wicket, pulled without any real conviction, right into the hands of Potts 13/115.4 Revenge... of sorts! Buttler going for party tricks now, switching to a left-hand grip and trying to carve over cover. Ends up losing his middle stump. Game won, though, and Buttler gets a generous and deserved ovation from the Headingley crowd 130/3Extras6 (lb 4, w 2)TOTAL140/3 (16.4 Overs, RR: 8.33 per 6 ball)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Ben McKinney, 2.4 ov), 2-31 (Phil Salt, 6.1 ov), 3-130 (Jos Buttler, 15.4 ov)
