Ben McKinney and Sonny Baker shine as Manchester Originals beat London Spirit

This match featured 17 full internationals but it was two youngsters, currently uncapped but tipped for big things, who impressed most.

Baker, who took 2-26 in the Originals’ opening game and was picked here with England great James Anderson rested, was given an England development contract in February after a successful winter with the Lions, despite having yet to make his County Championship debut.

This was him showing why he is so highly rated.

Warner was beaten outside off stump by the first three deliveries which zipped and moved away from the left-hander – each up towards 90mph. Only four runs come from the first 10 balls after Salt asked him to bowl back to back with opener New Zealand great Kane Williamson tied down like Warner.

After conceding 10 from his first 15 balls, all that was missing from his spell was a wicket. That came when he bowled quickly into the pitch and Turner was hurried. The right-hander skewed a catch into the leg side.

“He was outstanding,” Salt told Sky Sports.

“Jimmy had a rest today but that is the closest to what he did, if not better. Really pleased with how Sonny has gone for us and it will be hard to pick seamers for the next match.”

Durham opener McKinney is similarly regarded, having scored a century against Australia A on the same Lions trip.

He used all of his height and effortless hitting power to strike England spinner Liam Dawson for a straight six. Experienced seamer Richard Gleeson was also crunched back over his head and into the stands at square leg – the latter a 96m pulled six.

Though he holed out off Overton, it was that fast start – a stand of 47 in 21 balls with Salt – that sent the Originals on their way.
