      1

      1 run, Flights it very full and in the blockhole, on leg, eased to long on for a single.

      Surprising call. Richie Berrington is going with Mark Watt, despite him going for 35 runs in his first two overs. Maybe he is looking to buy a wicket or two here. Let's see how this move pans out.

      W

      out, OUT! High in the night sky and gone! A twist in the tale? Wheal serves it a touch fuller and bowls in the slot but the ball shapes late into the batter. Curran clears his front leg, frees his arms and swings across only to get a thick top edge. It balloons up in the air. The keeper, Matthew Cross, calls, runs towards square leg and gobbles it up with a dive. 28 (20) for Sam Curran today. 21 needed in 23 balls.

      6

      SIX, SIX! Watt continues to concede runs! Dragged length, not that short but Curran quickly picks up the length, he clears his front leg and heaves it over mid-wicket for a biggie.

      DRINKS! Despite losing four wickets, England are on the road to chasing the total, needing another 44 runs in 36 deliveries. They need one good partnership to get over the line and will look to the well-set Banton and ever-reliable Curran to do the job. Scotland have kept themselves in the game by picking wickets regularly. They need a couple of more strikes to make things interesting. Let's see how the final phase pans out.

      Michael Leask to Jacob Bethell

      1

      1 run, A flatter delivery, on middle, comes with the arm. Jacob Bethell pegs back and punches it to long on for a single.

      DRINKS! Nothing much to separate the two teams after the Powerplay, just that England have lost one less wicket. The Scottish pacers have been excellent, and they have found movement from the deck, making it difficult for the English batters. Just the 3 boundaries from the bat in the first six overs, which shows how well Scotland have bowled here. However, they cannot let this start to go to waste and need to keep the pressure on the batters in the middle overs, while England need a partnership to steady the chase. Also, here is Michael Leask to bowl after the break.
