Jos Buttler became the all-time leading run-scorer in T20 cricket as Manchester Super Giants beat Welsh Fire by nine wickets in The Hundred at Old Trafford. The England batter passed Kieron Pollard's previous record of 14,803 runs by hitting three consecutive sixes off Marco Jansen, before finishing unbeaten with back-to-back sixes off Lockie Ferguson, a milestone that cements his status as one of the format's greatest ever players.

Buttler finished on 51 not out from 20 balls, batting alongside Tim Seifert, who struck 62 from 36, as Super Giants chased down their target of 156 with 31 balls to spare. Cricket statisticians count Hundred runs towards T20 records, taking Buttler's tally to 14,833. Earlier, Welsh Fire had posted 155-4 thanks to a 125-run opening stand between Phil Salt (48) and Matt Short (71), but lost four wickets for 13 runs late on. The win lifts Super Giants into third place in the table, four points behind second-placed Fire.
