  1. NZ 110-4 (Elliott 23, Anderson 4)published at 02:58 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Anderson is a big, burly brute of a batsman and he laid waste to Sri Lanka a few days ago with an explosive innings, but he's in circumspect mood so far here, playing all six deliveries of Josh Davey's over and only managing a single off the last.

  2. NZ 109-4published at 02:54 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Scotland skipper Preston Mommsen turns back to Iain Wardlaw, who picked up McCullum and Guptill earlier, to see if he can winkle out a few more wickets. He almost does as well, enticing Elliott into a very rash flash outside off, which luckily for him doesn't make contact.

  3. NZ 107-4published at 02:50 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Corey Anderson is the new man. Daley errs with a wide.

    "I think the Kiwis will be a little bit grumpy, they are chasing a very modest target and have lost four wickets. Most of them have been given away. I understand they want to play their positive way but there is something almost futile about that when the target is so low."

    Kane Williamson perishes to a very uncharacteristic shot. He sashays down the wicket and tries to launch Davey to cow corner, but gets a little under-edge and gives Matthew Cross his third catch of the day.

  6. NZ 104-3published at 02:44 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Haq, Scotland's all-time leading wicket-taker in ODIs, continues. He offers up a juicy half-volley outside off, and Elliott picks the gap with a crashing square drive. New Zealand cantering along nicely now.

    Seb Horner:, external Ross Taylor out, caught Rob Taylor - with WI's Jerome Taylor and ENG's James Taylor this WC really is Taylor-made.

  8. NZ 97-3 (target 143)published at 02:41 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Elliott is beginning to tick over - he collects four more off Davey with a punchy drive through extra-cover. But then the bowler so nearly has his revenge - he gets one to jag back off the seam and it cuts Elliott in half, but flies just over the top of the stumps. Elliott looks round, relieved not to hear the clatter of timber behind him.

    "Williamson hardly ever misses middling a sweep shot. I'd say he's played it thousands of times in the nets and he can nearly always find the gap between the fielders."

  10. NZ 91-3published at 02:37 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Haq, with his leisurely, loping run-up, continues. He drifts just a little straight, and Williamson unfurls a lovely, classical sweep shot, bisecting the fielders on the leg side and finding the rope.

  11. NZ 84-3 (Williamson 28, Elliott 10)published at 02:34 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Josh Davey is recalled to the attack, and that's a lovely shot from Grant Elliott - Davey drops too short and Elliott creams him away through point off the back foot. And another! Width again, and this time Elliott goes onto the front foot and square-drives the ball at the top of its bounce - four more through the off-side. Lovely batting.

  13. NZ 75-3published at 02:31 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Haq ruins a very good over with a rank long hop off the final delivery, which Williamson pulls powerfully to the cow-corner fence.

  14. Umpire reviewpublished at 02:28 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Grant Elliott sweeps, the ball bobbles through to slip and bowler Majid Haq wants a review. Was there any glove in this?

    No - the replay shows it came off Elliott's arm. He survives, and Scotland have lost their one review.

  15. NZ 69-3 (Williamson 23, Elliott 0)published at 02:27 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Grant Elliott can certainly motor when he gets going, but for now he eschews the belligerent approach of McCullum and Guptill and plays out five dots after a leg bye early in Wardlaw's over.

  16. NZ 67-3published at 02:23 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    So, Grant Elliott is the new man - can he see the Black Caps home?

    "That was Ross Taylor trying to make an impression on the Scottish bowlers and a very good catch taken by the fielder, who was looking into the sun. Again New Zealand not pressing home their advantage."

  18. WICKETpublished at 02:20 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    New Zealand, who batted so fluently against Sri Lanka the other night, are making a bit of a Horlicks of this modest chase. Ross Taylor is the latest man to depart - he tries to hoick new bowler Majid Haq over cow corner but gets his timing wrong and Rob Taylor claims a steepling catch on the boundary at deep midwicket.

  19. NZ 66-2 (target 143)published at 02:17 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    Iain Wardlaw, who claimed those two scalps before the lunch interval, is handed the ball again. Ross Taylor, who looked to be searching for his best form before lunch, clips sweetly off his legs for three.

  20. Postpublished at 02:14 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

    We're back! You're still awake, right? Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor are out in the middle, looking to knock off the remaining 80 runs. Let's play.
