Full commentary
9.10pm: Match abandoned, they've pulled the plug already. Nothing to see here, other than Manchester Originals going top of the table on run rate thanks to their second Old Trafford washout.
"This one is done. Who's going to explain to all the new fans of cricket the Hundred is bringing in why both teams didn't just get 25 balls each?" Best disabuse them early, Pete. It's a silly sport (and that's why most of us are still here). Good night everyone, we'll be back for more tomorrow!
9pm: Evening all. Not ideal this... The groundstaff have brought all the heavy-duty covers out now, and the radar for Manchester isn't great. Sky saying they need to get back on by 9.38pm for a 25-ball reply by Brave. Yes, I know, they could've played a 25-a-side game already by now. Cricket ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Time for change behind the keys. Here's Alan Gardner to lead our drop-by-drop coverage of this shower.
8.51pm: That will probably be that for the Originals innings. It's pelting it down again and the covers are coming on. The main hover is already out there before the players have made it over the rope. Umbrellas up in the stands. And the sheets are being pulled out across the main square, too, which will add to the delay.
Rain: "Well, that's close to three 25 ball innings! If this match is abandoned, then do not blame me!"
Looks like a replacement ball because the old one was so wet. They have a look in the box and throw the new one to Mills. It's really heavy now... and they're off.
Anjum: "Inzamam ul Haq used to do that as well. Particularly throwing with both hands."

1
Mills to Munro, 1 run
Mills dries the ball as best he can but it looks absolutely soaking.
The rain is getting a little heavier, but they're staying out there for the time being.

Jordan to Hain, FOUR runs
yorker, 87mph, Hain shuffles across and gets a thin tickle to flick it past the leg stump for four! Wry smile from Jordan. That's the problem with the yorker, high-reward but high-risk!

Jordan to Munro, 1 run
half-volley, 87mph, clipped off the pads down to long-on
20 balls left, how will Vince split them up? Mills will surely bowl 10 of them. Jordan will bowl this set, so might well bowl the penultimate set as well. Stays with the round-the-wicket ploy to Munro

Aj: "So Tymall Mills fielding right handed and bowling left, I've never seen that before" -- Pretty unusual for sure. I think Samit Patel does it. And possibly Jack Leach..?

another slower ball, angled across him, steered to point for a scampered single. Great set of five from Mills
