- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.2 top catch! MacLoed has hauled in a chance that was heading for six. Cook timed another straight drive, just to the off side this time, it was heading flat and fast, MacLoed ran around the ground then dived full length to complete the catch 113/211.3 gone now! Gets too far across his crease, tries to lap a fullish delivery through fine leg, misses and all his stumps are exposed 83/118.1 another one goes! All rather muted. Full and wide outside off, Morgan chases it and gets a top edge to the keeper 140/417.4 another fantastic catch! This looked like six for Buttler, he picked up a length delivery towards deep midwicket but Taylor timed his jump to perfection and then was still able to make sure he didn't step over the boundary 136/319.4 more catching practice...Bopara trying to clear long-on against a low full toss, didn't come out of the middle and this was a simple catch 160/619.3 the catching has held up superbly, this time a well-judged low take a deep midwicket as Root flicks a full delivery over the leg side - comes off the toe end of the bat - and Taylor dives forward to grab it 160/5Extras6 (b 1, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL167/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.35)Fall of wickets: 1-83 (Ian Bell, 11.3 ov), 2-113 (Alastair Cook, 15.2 ov), 3-136 (Jos Buttler, 17.4 ov), 4-140 (Eoin Morgan, 18.1 ov), 5-160 (Joe Root, 19.3 ov), 6-160 (Ravi Bopara, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 stays back and plays the ball down on to the off stump! Anderson got this to seam back at Cross, bounced a little and maybe a touch quicker than expected, could only deflect it down on to the stumps 7/12.5 bowled him, quick and straight, MacLeod had gone too far across! Anderson's pace is too much for both Scotland openers, this pinged the top of middle and leg as MacLeod shuffled across and tried to clip off his pads 18/211.2 Ravi's slower ball does for Machan, top-edged straight up into the air! Swung hard but he was early on it, a skier came down around mid-on, where Bell had time to settle under it and pouch the catch 70/48.5 another one bowled, this time via Coetzer's forearms, I think... Tredwell was bowling outside leg stump, the ball skidded on as Coetzer tried to sweep, through the shot slightly early and managed to divert it on to his wicket 46/313 Leask takes on Tredwell again, tries to smoke him for six more over midwicket, gets plenty on it... but can't quite clear Anderson on the boundary! Another good jumping take, well judged a foot or two in from the rope 95/516.1 bowled him, Scotland eight down! This will not be their Bannockburn... Angled in, maybe dipping back as Mommsen aimed an expansive shot down the ground, leg stump ends up at a wonky angle 104/814.2 slogged high towards long-on, this hasn't got the legs and Jordan backpedals underneath it to complete the dismissal! Second wicket for Tredwell, reward for his perseverance. Scotland in a bit of trouble now 98/615 round the wicket, angled in and straightening outside off, solid forward defensive 103/718 pulls, comes high off the bat and it goes low to midwicket, where Jordan takes it above the grass. Second wicket for Bopara, smartly caught and the end is nigh 111/9Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL133/9 (20 Overs, RR: 6.65)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Matthew Cross, 0.4 ov), 2-18 (Calum MacLeod, 2.5 ov), 3-46 (Kyle Coetzer, 8.5 ov), 4-70 (Matt Machan, 11.2 ov), 5-95 (Michael Leask, 12.6 ov), 6-98 (Rob Taylor, 14.2 ov), 7-103 (Josh Davey, 14.6 ov), 8-104 (Preston Mommsen, 16.1 ov), 9-111 (Iain Wardlaw, 17.6 ov)
