  1. wicket

    WICKET Watt c Fraser-McGurk b Green 18

    SCO 146-9

    Watt sweeps one into the air and two fielders are after it.

    It's Sean Abbott and Jake Fraser-McGurk, but who will win the race?

    It's Fraser-McGurk, and it's a great grab. He doesn't call it though, and they slide past each other like glass doors.

  2. wicket

    WICKET Sole b Hardie 2

    SCO 146-8

    Chris Sole saw approximately none of that. Very similar to his dismissal yesterday against Cam Green.

    Here comes Safyaan Sharif. He can do a bit with the bat.

  3. SCO 144-7

    Aaron Hardie is bowling, Travis Head and Sean Abbott are signing autographs on the boundary rope as quickly as they can in between balls.

    I know Chris Sole probably won't hit it out here, but you never know.

    Aaron Hardie signs autographs

  4. McMullen magic

    Brandon McMullen has again been the main man for Scotland with the bat today.

    Here's how he went to 50 earlier on.

    Three half-centuries in four games against Australia for the South African-born batter.

  5. wicket

    WICKET Jarvis c Marsh b Abbott 3

    SCO 148-7

    Jarvis edges one high into the grey sky, but it drops free of any fielders behind the wicket. That's your first life, Jack.

    He does it again next ball. This time, Mitchell Marsh is underneath it.

    Well, you were warned.

  6. SCO 148-6

    BBC Sport Scotland at The Grange

    Marcus Stoinis could only laugh at that Travis Head catch, while the man himself doffed his cap to his teammates and the crowd.

    A stunning grab.

  7. SCO 148-6

    Jack Jarvis is the new man in, but are Scotland still game?

    Sorry.

  8. wicket

    WICKET McMullen c Head b Stoinis 56

    SCO 138-6

    Oh, Brandon.

    He tries to paddle a short ball from Stoinis over his head, and Travis Head takes a one-handed catch to dismiss him. An incredible bit of cricket.

    McMullen sits on the wicket in disbelief. Another brilliant performance from the young man.

  9. SCO 137-5

    Another boundary for Mark Watt as he cuts Marcus Stoinis away over point.

    Whisper it quietly, but 175 is achievable here.

  10. 6 runs

    SCO 130-5

    Goodness me, Mark Watt!

    A beautiful forward drive almost takes out a cameraman on the gantry behind the bowler at the Inverleith Park end.

  11. SCO 122-5

    George O'Neill
    BBC Sport Scotland at The Grange

    Yet another international 50 for Brandon McMullen, who looks far and away Scotland's best batter.

    It feels like I say this every time I watch him bat, but he's so, so talented.

  12. 50 runs

    50 for Brandon McMullen

    SCO 122-5

    Scotland's anchor slaps Cooper Connolly back down the ground and reaches 50 - his second consecutively against Australia.

    He's been the shining light for the hosts.

  13. Hang it in the Scottish Gallery...

    SCO 114-5

    A fan drops a catchSNS

    There's a shot of that dropped catch in the crowd a few overs ago...

  14. SCO 113-5

    Sean Abbott bounces one short to Mark Watt and the spinner rather cowers as he deflects it away from his chin.

    The next ball to McMullen is another short one. Fiery bowling.

  15. wicket

    WICKET Leask c David b Abbott 13

    SCO 112-5

    Oh no! Leask tries the same pull shot again but he doesn't catch it as clean and Tim David dives to catch.

    Super take, but Leask has rather fallen into the trap that Sean Abbott set up for him there.

  16. 6 runs

    SCO 112-4

    That's what Michael Leask can do!

    Sean Abbott bounces one short and the Scottish batter slaps it away over the on-side boundary for a big six.

  17. SCO 105-4

    George O'Neill
    BBC Sport Scotland at The Grange

    Spin does for Adam Zampa on the deep-third boundary, much to the delight of the home fans behind him.

    Every club cricketer will tell you to watch the spin!

    He safely takes the very next ball to loud ironic cheers.

  18. Green bowls Berrington with a beauty

    SCO 105-4

  19. SCO 105-4

    Adam Zampa can't read the spin on the boundary rope at deep third, and Michael Leask picks up a slightly lucky boundary.

    Another potentially fruitful Scotland partnership in the offing.

  20. SCO 98-4

    Brandon McMullen you tease. He slaps Cam Green back down the pitch and it juuuust goes over the head of Tim David.

    It reaches the boundary rope as well.
