Skipper Willey fires up Rockets against Originals

DAVID Willey and Rehan Ahmed spearheaded a superb display from Trent Rockets as they made short work of Manchester Originals and moved level on points with Oval Invincibles at the top of the table.

Willey, the Rockets skipper, was in inspired form at Trent Bridge, bowling 20 of the first 30 deliveries in the Originals innings and returning figures of 3-11, his best in The Hundred, as the visitors made only 98-8 from their 100 balls.

Ben McKinney was Willey’s first victim, trapped Ibw for a duck, before dangerman Jos Buttler (19 from 16) and Rachin Ravindra nicked behind to consecutive deliveries from the left-armer as the Originals slipped to 26-3.
