Watch: Matthew Hayden and Michael Vaughan provided a cracking start at Houston: Houston witnessed a maverick start to the 2nd T20 game. Michael Vaughan and Matthew Hayden started the proceedings for Warriors while Shoaib Akhtar was up with the new ball.

The crowd went bonkers, as both the opener’s provided a flying start.

Michael Vaughan slaps Akhtar for a massive one

Michael Vaughan flicked one over midwicket off Mcgrath, as the Ashes memories were back. He then picked up a slowish delivery from Shoaib Akhtar and sent it to the ropes.

The highlight of Michael Vaughan’s innings will be the moment he slapped Shoaib Akhtar’s delivery out of the park for a six.

He scored a 22 ball 30, courtesy 4 boundaries and a smashing six off Akhtar. He batted with a strike rate of 136.36, before his countryman Graeme Swann trapped the former England Captain up front.

Vaughan goes bang! Warriors 0-30 after three overs.

Matthew Hayden Towers a maximum

The former Australian opener was at his brutal best, as he smacked the ball out of the park on many occasions.

He sent the leather out off the ropes from Mcgrath, while he smacked one straight past the bowler’s head. Matthew Hayden then dispatched Swann to the ropes, as he kept up the run rate.

His double six off Glenn Mcgrath was electrifying, as he guided the ball over Mcgrath’s head, as it went past the boundary.

The next one, he mistimed but just cleared Lara at long-off. Full again and smashed again. The Australian gladiator guided Warriors to a massive start.

Matthew Hayden finally went back to the pavilion, as an inside edge was dragged onto the furniture, Mcgrath picked up the wicket, as Haydos went back for 32 off 15 balls, with 2 boundaries and 3 massive sixes.

You can never bowl there to Haydos!
