George O'Neill & Andrew Petrie

  1. SCO 63-3

    We're going to have our first look at spin today.

    Adam Zampa is on from the Inverleith Park end.

  2. wicket

    WICKET McMullen c Fraser-McGurk b Bartlett 19

    Scotland 62-3

    Brandon McMullen smashes Xavier Bartlett back over his head for four, but falls next ball.

    He plays a pretty looking lofted cover drive, but it's safely pouched by Aussie debutant Jake Fraser-McGurk on the boundary, and the visitors have their third.

    Matthew Cross is the new man.

  3. SCO 56-2

    Scotland captain Richie Berrington is in at four, and he gets under way with four backward of point.

  4. wicket

    WICKET Munsey c Inglis b Abbott 28

    A stunning catch brings Munsey's fun to an end.

    He flashes at one outside off-stump and must have thought a thick outside edge would bring him four more, but Josh Inglis springs to his left and takes a wonderful catch.

  5. SCO 51-1

    George Munsey rocks back and punches another four through the covers.

    It really is a gorgeous day here at the Grange. George has had to borrow some sun cream from the Cricket Australia media team.

    There's an Aussie fan in the crowd with a woolly hat on, though. Levels to this.

  7. SCO 46-1

    Short again from Meredith and Munsey hooks it down to fine leg - just for four this time.

    Munsey has 24 from just 13 balls and the home crowd are loving it.

  8. 6 runs

    SCO 42-1

    Hello George Munsey!

    The returning Riley Meredith - a late inclusion in this squad due to Josh Hazlewood's injury - drops short and is smashed for six by Scotland's opener.

    This one is fuller, but it's the same result. Whipped off his pads, and that's out the ground. Enormous.

  9. SCO 29-1

    It's been a decent enough start for Scotland, this.

    They lost Oli Hairs early, but Brandon McMullen and George Munsey have ticked along nicely.

  10. SCO 28-1

    Andrew Petrie
    BBC Sport Scotland at The Grange Club

    "Hello!" shout the children to our left at Aussie quick Xavier Bartlett.

    They're called into actions moments later when George Munsey nails one that lands about 30cm from a young girl. She seemed incredibly nonplussed about that.

  11. 6 runs

    SCO 28-1

    George Munsey gets one on his pads from Xavier Bartlett and tucks in.

    A flick of the wrists sends it soaring over the leg-side for the day's first six.

  12. SCO 22-1

    Sean Abbott is into the attack from the pavilion end and starts with a wide down the leg-side that Josh Inglis can't take cleanly.

    McMullen stands up tall to punch two more through the off-side before a couple of boundaries for Scotland's number three.

    He slashes one over the slip cordon and then hammers a pull shot through midwicket for four more.

  13. SCO 10-1

    McMullen gets off the mark with two off his hip to end the second over.

  14. wicket

    WICKET Hairs c Marsh b Bartlett 6

    Scotland 8-1

    Oli Hairs looks to take on a short ball from Bartlett, but it hits high on the bat and Mitch Marsh takes a straightforward catch at mid-off.

    Brandon McMullen is in at three, who smashed 60 off 34 balls against Australia at the recent World Cup.

  15. SCO 8-0

    Hairs and Munsey trade singles from the first two balls of Xavier Bartlett's opening set.

  16. SCO 6-0

    Oli Hairs whacks his first ball through midwicket for four.

    He won't see himself in. Only plays one way does the left-hander.

    A single down to fine-leg sees Scotland take six off the first over.

    The players come out

  17. SCO 1-0

    A leg-bye to square-leg gets Scotland off the mark.

  18. SCO 0-0

    Play and a miss from Munsey outside off stump to start.

  19. Here we go...

    Scotland v Australia (14:00 BST)

    George Munsey and Oli Hairs are in the middle for Scotland, and Riley Meredith has the new ball for Australia.

    And it's live...

  20. Anthem time

    Scotland v Australia (14:00 BST)

    Advance Australia fair is sung passionately by the pocket of away fans, before Flower of Scotland rings round the Grange.

    We're nearly ready to go in the capital.
