Thanks for your company this evening, the time has come to call it a night. Commiserations to any Scotland fans out there, but your boys fought hard and their chances of making an impression at this tournament may not be over. Next up: a crunch match with the Auld Enemy on Sunday!
Don't be a stranger until then though - do come back and join us at around 03:00 GMT tomorrow for Afghanistan v Bangladesh. See you then!

By a curious quirk of scheduling, both these teams will play England next. Eoin Morgan's side take on New Zealand on Friday, then Scotland on Sunday.
England will have seen plenty to worry them in New Zealand's seam bowling department, but they may be heartened by the way the Scottish bowlers took regular wickets against a vaunted Kiwi batting line-up.
Should England lose to New Zealand, that game against Scotland suddenly assumes huge significance - and on today's evidence, there will be a number of out-of-form English batsmen who will be worried about facing the Scottish bowlers.

"The Irish have won key matches and if they get into a situation where they can win they know how to do it. The Scots, who man for man are not that different, haven't got that experience but they are perfectly good cricketers who could easily beat Afghanistan and cause an embarrassment to someone else."
Scotland captain Preston Mommsen: "It was a very tough start for us. They bowled very well and the ball did a little more than expected. Matt Machan and Richie Berrington batted well, but unfortunately they couldn't go on. We put the ball in the right areas - unfortunately we couldn't get the final three wickets, but I'm very proud of the performance."
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum: "It was a tough one. Credit to Scotland for the way they hung in there. That total was always going to be challenging on a surface like that where it was nibbling about. As a pair we've seen how effective Trent Boult and Tim Southee can be and they were outstanding. It was a really good performance with the ball - with the bat, we showed glimpses but we have to improve. England will be a challenge - they're hurting, they'll be tough to beat and we'll have to play incredibly well."
Scotland batsman Matt Machan: "Credit to the way we fought back. We took it as deep as we could but 140 is not a lot to play with. Bitterly disappointed, we've been playing a lot better than we showed today and it's up to us to bounce back."
New Zealand's Corey Anderson: "Scotland bowled pretty well on a wicket that started to slow up. I guess it doesn't matter if you win ugly it still counts as a win. You think you can take it down quickly and when you lose a couple of wickets it can become a bit of a roll. It was a good first half performance and the second probably needs a bit of work."
A curious match indeed. New Zealand have their second victory of the tournament, as expected, but Scotland ran them a lot closer than many would have thought - especially after having been reduced to 12-4.
Matt Machan and Richie Berrington rebuilt the innings for the Scots before Corey Anderson and Daniel Vettori seized control for New Zealand again with a flurry of lower-order wickets.
In reply, New Zealand seemed impatient to get the job done, and they surrendered a succession of wickets with loose shots. But they just about managed to keep the chase on track, and will go into their match with England on Friday with two wins from two - but a few chinks in their armour exposed.

"Were still trying to work out how they managed to lose seven wickets but they did. Their minds weren't quite there but they've got the win."

It was a wholly unconvincing batting display from the hosts but a win is a win and they have their second of their tournament, taking them to the top of Pool A.
Adam Milne joins the veteran Daniel Vettori at the crease. Can these two see New Zealand home?

"If nothing else this will cheer the Scots up. They could have had a really ugly day."
Image source, Getty ImagesThis is just plain weird from New Zealand. They continue to gift wickets away with the finish line in sight - Ronchi the latest as he heaves leg-side and picks out Hamish Gardiner on the boundary at deep mid-wicket. Six needed, three wickets left - Scotland couldn't, could they?
You have to applaud this bowling performance from Scotland - they've made some top-class batsmen look very ordinary. Corey Anderson joins the procession, top-edging an attempted leg-side flick, which Wardlaw does very well to catch running round.
Wardlaw back into the attack, no doubt still replaying that drop in his mind. Can he make amends? No - in fact he delivers a rank short ball, allowing Ronchi to free his arms and clatter it over cover for four. Just 14 needed for New Zealand now.
Luke Ronchi, the New Zealand wicket-keeper, is the new batsman. And immediately Scotland should have had another man back in the hutch! Corey Anderson pulls Josh Davey flat behind square and picks out Iain Wardlaw on the rope, but the fielder spills a very simple catch. What an opportunity for Scotland - was that their last chance to really make the Kiwis sweat?

"Just a little bit of movement, opening the face perhaps. So 26 to win and only five wickets left, the game is still alive. Just a few little butterflies, they've made a meal of this and are looking a bit tentative now."
Image source, Getty ImagesNew Zealand's curiously stuttering chase continues. Again it's Iain Wardlaw who does the damage, pitching one up in the corridor of uncertainty and enticing Elliott to nibble one through to the keeper.
