During Lancashire's seven-wicket win over Essex in the quarter-finals of the T20 Blast, cricket fans were left delighted as Phil Salt and Michael Pepper got each other out.
The two aptly-named cricketers met in a tasty tie at Old Trafford after England decided to make Salt available to play for Lancashire. Salt was one of five Lancashire players named in England's squad for the ongoing T20I series against India, but Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Matt Parkinson and Richard Gleeson were not permitted to feature in the clash.
With Essex batting first, Pepper top scored for the visitors with 36 off 28 balls, before getting stumped by Salt when attempting to advance down the pitch and hit spinner Tom Hartley to the boundary.
