And again!

This might be even bigger from Mitch Marsh. It's too short from Jarvis and the Aussie skipper says 'thank you very much'.

Mitch Marsh gets in on the act, smashing a short ball from Jack Jarvis into the tennis courts next to the ground.

Fetch.

This is an absolute clinic from Travis Head.

Three fours and a gorgeous six fly off the left-hander's bat from Charlie Cassell's first over.

Travis Head continues on his merry way, smashing four back over Brandon McMullen's head before another six over the leg-side.

He has 33 from 12 balls.

Four more to Travis Head before the off-side before a huge six over square-leg.

If he keeps going like this, it'll be over quickly.

Travis Head crunches three boundaries through the off-side, the second of which was just wide of Richie Berrington at short cover.

Hits the ball seriously hard does the left-hander.

Something of a gamble from Scotland skipper Richie Berrington to start with Brandon McMullen's away-swingers, but it's more than justified with that wicket.

It'll be Brad Wheal from the Inverleith Park end.

McMullen draws a false shot from Marsh first up, but it's just wide of Brad Wheal at short third and goes for four.

Brandon McMullen has the new ball for Scotland and starts with a couple of dots to Jake Fraser-McGurk.

The players are back out at the Grange, and I'll hand you back over to George O'Neill.

Scotland will have fancied a few more runs there, but some big hits - including this from Jack Jarvis - helped them to a respectable target.

We spoke to Cricket Scotland CEO Trudy Lindblade yesterday, here's what she had to say: "I'm really excited to have Australia in Edinburgh. It's a great opportunity to host one of the giants, and an opportunity for us to show what we're made of.

"We've demonstrated our on-field performances in 2024. If you think back to that match at the World Cup, we pushed it to the wire. Off the field, it's an opportunity to provide to thousands of cricket fans in Scotland to see their side play one of the best teams in the world.

"We need to work with the ICC to make sure we're getting in front of the full members and capitalising on these opportunities.

"Why wouldn't you want to come to Scotland? You can play great cricket against a high-performing team, and also do the other wonderful things - golf courses, whiskey, etc. It's a great opportunity to showcase that we are ready to host full members."

Brad Wheal just nicks it past the keeper for a four off his first ball. Much needed.

The final ball comes through to the keeper and Scotland run. It's a direct hit, but it's not out. A nice little extra after a tough innings.

George Munsey high-scored with 28. You'd want Scotland to have a few much higher scores, but they've not disgraced themselves by any means.

A target of 155 for Australia, when we come back after the interval.

Jasper Davidson ducks out of the way of a rocket from Riley Meredith. He's getting pelters from the travelling support, who accuse him of being scared.

I don't blame him.

That said, he fends away the next one bravely.

Riley Meredith is fielding in front of some well-oiled Australian fans who must have started drinking very early this morning.

It appears they are students in these parts, as they are telling the Aussie bowler where's best for an Edinburgh night out on a Wednesday.
