9:33pm That's all from us tonight, folks. Join us tomorrow as Birmingham Phoenix host Oval Invincibles

9:31pm Originals skipper Phil Salt is speaking to Sky Sports about this first win of the season: "We massively needed it. Even though we've lost the first two, we've probably played the two strongest sides since the competition started.

"We got the game against Southern Brave to a very similar scenario, and they got over the line, like good teams do. Oval outplayed us. Sometimes those games can be good early on, to remind you, and keep you honest.

[On new opening partner Ben McKinney's 29 off 12] "He's a bit of a surprise package, isn't he? Even I didn't know he was going to do that!"

9:26pm Your Meerkat Match Hero is Sonny Baker for his economical 1 for 21 from his 20 deliveries: "I mean, it was just trying to bowl fast! Swing the new ball, especially with left-handers, my preference is to go away from them. Especially to David Warner. He's a great player so I was worried if I was too wide! You've got a small margin for error but really grateful for the challenge and chuffed to get the win here today."

1
Currie to Pope, 1 run

Pace off, into off stump, worked to deep midwicket but Manchester Originals end their six-match losing streak at Emirates Old Trafford! A much-needed home win, by 10 runs. A complete team performance, with special credit to Sonny Baker, who set the tone early with his 10 straight. Tongue the pick of the quicks with 3 for 29 from his 20 deliveries.

12 needed at 1... just needs to be straight with your foot behind the line, Scott

99
1
Currie to Dawson, 1 run

Full, on leg stump, Dawson tries to clear down the ground, has to settle for a single out to deep point

Currie seems to want to review because he thinks it's flicked the pad... and it has! Can review that in the IPL but not here... Still, 13 needed from 2

99
1w
Currie to Dawson, 1 wide

Full, down the leg side!

Liam Dawson is the new batter, 14 needed from 2...

1W
Currie to Overton, 1 run, OUT

Full, straight, whipped around the corner but straight to deep square - Mark Chapman - who gathers and hurls to the keepers end, where Buttler takes in front of the stumps - 2019 anyone? - and takes the bails off as Overton legs it back... and continues on towards the dugout

Jamie Overton run out (Chapman/†Buttler) 19 (7b 3x4 1x6 8m) SR: 271.42

15 from 3...

97
Currie to Overton, no run

Full, angled into middle stump, kept out to cover for a single. Good ball

15 from 4...

96

Currie to Overton, FOUR runs

Goes for four! Wow wow wow... wide, length, sliced over short third!

Now then, final 5, 19 needed... and Originals have an extra field in the ring because they've not go through there sets in time

Baker to Overton, no run

Wide on the crease, full, Overton opens the face and hammers out to deep point but right to Klaasen

94
4
Baker to Overton, FOUR runs

Full toss, bunted to cover... who lets that go through! Awful fielding by Currie. Is this... on?

93
6
Baker to Overton, SIX runs

Beefy! Short, angled in, Overton angles the bat and goes down-to-up with the cross-bat shot, high but far enough to bounce into the temporary stand

92
1
Baker to Pope, 1 run

Into the body of Pope, quick, 87mph, tries to play that around the corner but gets in a tangle. Manages to get through for one all the same as the ball lands in the crease

Ollie Pope at No.7! Well, sure. Why not?

91
W
Baker to Turner, OUT

And there it is! Short, sharp, Turner tries to hack that to leg but skies it to Gregory who snaffles the catch at mid on

Ashton Turner c Gregory b Baker 13 (7b 1x4 1x6 18m) SR: 185.71

30 needed from 10... surely not... Baker back for his final 5. Deserves a wicket, really...

Tongue to Overton, FOUR runs

Slapped over extra cover! No messing around from Jamie Overton, gets a slower ball full deep in his crease, muscles it over the top

89
W
Tongue to Dickson, OUT

Tongue bumps Dickson! Searing pace, 89mph, no variations needed, Dickson can't react quick enough, gloving to Buttler. Brilliantly targeted and executed from Tongue

Sean Dickson c †Buttler b Tongue 2 (3b 0x4 0x6 2m) SR: 66.66
88
Tongue to Dickson, no run

Pace off, Dickson swings across the line, nicks on the bounce through to Buttler

Tongue to Dickson, 1 wide

Wide again down the off side. That looked a little harsh...

87

Tongue to Dickson, 2 runs

Scuffed around the corner, well-disguised slower ball from Tongue - 73mph - gets back for a fortuitous second after a stumble

87
1w
Tongue to Dickson, 1 wide

Length, fired down the off side

Sean Dickson, what have you got?

86
W
Tongue to Warner, OUT

Fired down the leg side... and gone! Warner has nicked that attempting another lift over backward square! Looked an optimistic appeal but Warner tucks his bat under his arm - bit of glove - and walks off.

David Warner c †Buttler b Tongue 71 (51b 12x4 1x6 67m) SR: 139.21

Nails it that time! Warner makes room to leg, ends up seeing the ball pass between him and the stumps
