That's a big no-ball. It might just get de Kock's innings underway.

That's a big no-ball. It might just get de Kock's innings underway.
Sean Abbott, sporting a pencil moustache, attempting to keep it straight to James Vince but strays slightly on to his legs and the Brave skipper punishes him with a boundary.
A few balls later and Abbott sends down a no-ball giving Quinton de Kock a free hit.

Stanley is getting some nice pace here. First 92 miles/hour and then 90 miles/hour.
Mitchell Stanley pings one at 88mph into the pads of Quinton de Kock who is done for a pace a little. A half-hearted appeal.
Three runs off his first set.
Nicely bowled, young man.

This is going to be a big ask for Southern Brave. They certainly have the firepower.
Youngster Mitchell Stanley will get things going with the ball for Manchester Originals. Stanley said in an interview he would have gone into aeronautical or mechanical engineering if he hadn't been a cricketer.
A dot ball first up from the 21-year-old from Telford.
In all seriousness, I think that will be take some chasing. Southern Brave's highest total in The Hundred is the 168 they made in last year's final.
Their unbeaten record at the the Ageas Bowl is under threat tonight. James Vince and Quinton de Kock are strolling out ready to give it a go, though.
Thanks Josef. Excellent biffing from Andre Russell. Although you had to feel sorry for poor old Michael Hogan at the end.
I just hope his brothers Paul and Hulk weren't watching.
This is where I leave you all. Timothy Abraham will be across Southern Brave's chase.
What did you make of that Tim? Surely the Originals have this in the bag?
Before today Andre Russell hadn't scored higher than 29 for the Originals.
He's come good now.

I think that innings has just won the game for Manchester Originals. I just feel that's a match-winning knock.
Originals 188-3
A brilliant finish from Andre Russell, striking 64 off just 23 balls puts the Manchester Originals in a brilliant position.
Their total of 188-3 is the third-highest of this year's competition.

Garton would be counting every single run off the blade of Andre Russell.
Russell 60, Stubbs 2
Top-edge from Russell. But it still goes for four.
And another six from Russell over the legside.
Originals 174-3
And a four. Russell has reached 50 off 20 balls.

What a remarkable shot. Talk about how difficult it is to hit a low full toss for six!
That's so nonchalant. Russell flicks it for six.
Stubbs 2, Fuller 40
And another single from Tristan Stubbs. Michael Hogan will bowl the final five deliveries.
Leg-bye goes for one. Russell comes off strike.
