I've no complaints about the help we've been given by the ICC, they work hard to give us fixtures against good teams on these tours."

Vic Marks
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special"What the Scots will be upset about is that Corey Anderson came in, banged the ball into the wicket, and got three wickets far too easily. They were too easily rattled, they looked like Associate batsmen."
WICKETpublished at 00:45 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015

Umpire reviewpublished at 00:41 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015
We're having a review here. An lbw appeal against last man Iain Wardlaw pushing forward is rejected and Vettori refers it.

Now what is the batting powerplay going to bring us? Some bold rearguard action from Davey for a start, thumping Anderson through backward point for four.

Warren Lees
Ex-New Zealand wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special"A very smart stumping by Luke Ronchi. He caught the ball very cleanly and in one movement took the bails off."
WICKETpublished at 00:34 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015
Image source, Getty ImagesOne would imagine that trend in the tournament of every team posting 300 when batting first is not going to continue. Left-hander Rob Taylor is the new man and he averages 18 from his 12 ODIs with a highest of 46 not out against Kenya last year but he does not last long, beaten in the flight by the wily Vettori and smartly stumped. The 293rd ODI wicket for the venerable slow left-arm bowler.

Warren Lees
Ex-New Zealand wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special"It was not a great shot. He leant across, his feet stayed where they were, and therefore he was pushing well outside off stump. I do like Anderson's ability to bring the ball back in to the batsman."
WICKETpublished at 00:27 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015
Image source, Getty ImagesAh the old drinks breakthrough. No great foot movement from Cross, hanging the bat out to dry as Geoffrey would say. Can the Scots bat out their overs?
Scotland 129-6published at 00:25 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015
Cross ends a run of three overs without a boundary as he finds the gap through the covers off Milne. He is only in his 12th ODI but he made 55 in his second match against Kenya in the qualifying tournament in New Zealand that Scotland won last year. Drinks time. Earl Grey I think.

Ex-New Zealand wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special"It was a good job half done by Machan and Berrington. Now they've got to take six or seven overs to establish another partnership."

Sir Richard Hadlee is in attendance. A bit of snow on the roof and on the tache these days but he still looks much the same as when he was ripping through the England middle order in the 1980s. Young Josh Davey is the new batsman and he has a best of 64, against Afghanistan. He plays out a maiden to Anderson, the sixth of the innings.
Dropped catchpublished at 00:15 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015
Image source, Getty ImagesA bustling seamer at a brisk pace Milne, complementing the excellent new ball pairing of Southee and Boult. Cross has a high wavering backlift reminiscent of Dominic Cork. He gets away with one from the final ball of the over as Martin Guptill cannot cling on to a fiercely struck low chance at backward point.

Jeremy Coney
Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special"Dear oh dear. Same as Machan - get to fifty, short ball angled back into him to cramp him, and the extra pace meant he couldn't control the shot. Scotland, when they were just holding on by their fingernails, have fallen down again."
WICKETpublished at 00:09 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015
Fifty for Berrington from 79 balls, his seventh in ODIs, but he is dismissed next ball, caught at fine-leg top-edging a pull. They still need five to eclipse their current highest total against the Kiwis. They will do that though surely?
Scotland 115-5 (run-rate 4.28)published at 00:06 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2015
The Scots have not only beaten their lowest World Cup total they are poised for their highest score against New Zealand. It is only the third match against them but previous efforts have been 121 and 101. Who would have thought they would even reach three figures from 12-4? There have been 17 scores under 100 in World Cup matches for the record.
New man Matthew Cross gets off the mark by neatly flicking Milne off the pads to the mid-wicket boundary.
