The Hundred: Jos Buttler and Phil Salt shine as Manchester Originals wallop Welsh Fire

In a bowler-dominated affair, a fast start from Originals openers Buttler and Phil Salt was hauled back by a disciplined Fire attack led by Jake Ball, who finished with figures of four for 29 off 20 balls as the Originals set what seemed to be an under-par 149 for nine.

That proved to be more than enough, however, as regular wickets meant the Fire never got close, bowled out for just 102, as Dwaine Pretorius top-scored with 29.

First, Buttler was bowled by Zampa on 29, who began the Fire's recovery with two wickets for 17 before Laurie Evans was dismissed first ball, brilliantly bowled by Matt Critchley.
