- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 attempts the hack off the length, straight up in the air! Huge blow early in this contest. Archer went into the pitch once more, Munsey swung for the hills but got underneath his stroke, it spiralled high in the air but Banton called early and jogged in from midwicket to gather 18/15.5 goes for it once too often! Jones climbed across the slower ball, his cutter sticks in the pitch again, and after one safe top-edge, this one is costly, as it plops into Bethell's hands at deep midwicket. Three wickets in the powerplay, and after a riot of runs in that over, Scotland slide again 42/32.5 rocks back on the pull, Archer has two in the over! No control on the stroke, Archer's hard length leaps off the deck, catching the bat high as McMullen swung up into his stroke. Salt was stationed behind square, ten metres in off the rope and pocketed it with ease. 50 T20I wickets for Archer 18/213.1 loops up the
legbreakslider, misses with the sweep - given! Played over the ball and hit on the front pad around shin height, looked very adjacent. But Berrington reviews after some deliberation. Did it straighten? Was it sliding? Clipping leg stump, and that is enough for England. Allahuddien Paleker raises his finger again and Scotland's captain has to depart! Front-of-the-hand ball from Rashid, whose guile wins the contest 115/512.4 heaved without control, finds deep backward square! Bruce shuffles across his stumps but didn't get the power he was looking for on the slog-sweep. Comfortable catch a few metres in from the rope. Dawson breaks a punchy stand 113/414.4 Leask goes, chipping tamely into the deep! Another simple catch for Sam Curran behind square on the leg side. Scotland have been picking out the fielders with regularity, and now find themselves six down just when they want to hit the accelerator 124/615.4 oh dear... Cross holes out now! Rashid tosses it up slower and the attempted slog-sweep sails off the top edge down the throat of Banton at deep square leg! The Saltires around Kolkata beginning to droop now 126/715.6 rips one through him! Rashid's revenge is all the sweeter for coming against the auld enemy. Loops up the leggie and spins it back through the gate to hit middle and leg. Watt doesn't know what's what, until he hears the death rattle behind him 127/818.1 slogged to long-on! Scotland nine down now. Not sure what Wheal was doing, should just have been looking to get off strike. Short from Overton, 88mph/141kph but also cutting his fingers over it. Plinked straight to the man for more catching practice 148/919.4 fired full at the stumps, dug out to mid-off... but Currie isn't alert and won't make his ground! He turned for his crease, thinking Davidson would want to keep the strike, and then was never going to beat the throw to the striker's end. So Scotland are bowled out with two balls left on the table 152/10Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL152 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.72)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (George Munsey, 2.3 ov), 2-18 (Brandon McMullen, 2.5 ov), 3-42 (Michael Jones, 5.5 ov), 4-113 (Tom Bruce, 12.4 ov), 5-115 (Richie Berrington, 13.1 ov), 6-124 (Michael Leask, 14.4 ov), 7-126 (Matthew Cross, 15.4 ov), 8-127 (Mark Watt, 15.6 ov), 9-148 (Brad Wheal, 18.1 ov), 10-152 (Brad Currie, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 driven off the back foot, straight to point! He went hard, he went early! Through his shot too soon as the outswing skimmed off the outer edge of his drive, straight into Bruce's midriff. Another failure to launch for Salt after his two-baller against Nepal. Now then! 2/11.6 takes on the launch, picks out mid-off! A massive scalp in the second over! Buttler decided to put the hammer down, stepping into the full length to drive, but Currie's late swing back into the bat messed up his alignment. The shot plinked off the inside-half of the bat, with no distance at all... McMullen turned to chase on the edge of the ring and took it coolly over his shoulder! 13/29.3 down on one knee, Bethell picks out backward point! It's a loose shot from Bethell, he really needed only to slipstream Bethell for a bit, but his attempted slog-sweep was high on the bat and couldn't get the power to clear short backward square! 79/310.4 rolling scoop, but it won't clear short fine leg! Leask punches the air in delight, Scotland feel the sap rising again! Driven into the pitch and Brook looks to heave it up over his shoulder as he launches across the stumps, but only manages to splice it to the edge of the ring 86/416.1 top-edged and taken! Scotland still fighting. Back of a length, skids on as Curran looks to heave it leg side. Hacked almost straight up and Cross jogs across to his right to complete the dismissal and fire Scottish hopes 132/5Extras7 (w 7)TOTAL155/5 (18.2 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Phil Salt, 0.3 ov), 2-13 (Jos Buttler, 1.6 ov), 3-79 (Jacob Bethell, 9.3 ov), 4-86 (Harry Brook, 10.4 ov), 5-132 (Sam Curran, 16.1 ov)
