  1. What happened earlier on?

    England beat the rain and Namibia to keep their T20 World Cup defence alive after wet weather threatened to wash out the match entirely - a scenario that would have eliminated England.

    The rain cleared and England rallied to post 122-5 in an innings reduced to 10 overs by another shower.

    Namibia's target was increased to 126 because of the interruption and, despite finding wickets hard to come by, England always restricted the scoring.

  3. Unchanged Scotland must show 'belief' - Berrington

    Scotland captain Richie Berrington gives his opinion on batting first: "It looks a good surface, should stay true throughout the game. We’ve been batting well as a team so tonight is a good opportunity to put another good score on the board."

    Berrington also touched on the change of Scotland's progression: "There's been a lot of chat but for us, it’s out of our control. Coming to this World Cup, we knew if we wanted to progress we'd have to beat some of the best sides in the world.

    "For us, it's about assessing conditions early. Trust the skills you’ve got. We’ve been here before, beaten bigger teams and there’s a lot of belief in this team."

  4. Australia win the toss and choose to bowl

    Australia captain Mitchell Marsh wins the toss and says of his decision: "It looks a really good surface, we're going to get stuck in.

    "It's the same as any other game, it's a World Cup game, we've got a lot of respect for Scotland. It'll be a hard fought contest."

    On why an associate nation has never beaten Australia: "Hopefully it stays that way! There's a number of reasons but the main thing for us is to focus on ourselves and win the game for Australia."
