Jeremy Coney
Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special"There was enough pace by Anderson to draw the top edge. A good innings, but one you suspect that may just open things up for New Zealand."

Jeremy Coney
Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special"What we're watching is a game in transition - at the start New Zealand held sway and now it's Scotland. They had to defend stoutly, but there's plenty of time left to get a very good score."
Scotland 105-4 (Machan 52, Berrington 46)published at 23:57 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015
Machan has one previous ODI century to his name, that came against Kenya in 2013. Berrington clips medium pacer Elliott off his toes just out of the reach of the square-leg fielder for four more. The Kiwi opening bowlers had the ball on a proverbial rope but it is the batsmen on top now in bright sunshine at this glorious venue. There'll be a wicket now won't there?

Vic Marks
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special"Machan has done exceptionally well to weather that storm at the start. He's played some lovely shots and hit the ball crisply at times."
Machan makes 50published at 23:53 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015
Jamie Lillywhite here to take you through the remainder of the innings and I didn't think I'd get to describe any of it when the score was 12-4. I was scrolling through the lowest World Cup totals but Scotland have no concerns, they have even beaten their lowest of 68 against West Indies.
Sussex batsman Matt Machan has played beautifully and made 50 from 70 balls. His partner Berrington maintains the momentum and thumps Vettori back over his head over the commentary box for six.

Now then, time for part-time medium-pacer Grant Elliott to turn his arm over. Scotland, for now, are still content to deal in singles - three from that over.

Duncan Garrett:, external Swap Machan for Morgan? Only a few letters different people might not notice.
Scotland 86-4 (Machan 47, Berrington 32)published at 23:45 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015
Brendon McCullum is renowned as one of the best captains in world cricket - can the master innovator devise a breakthrough here? Three singles from Vettori's latest over.
Sixpublished at 23:42 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015
Tim Southee bangs one in short to Matt Machan and the batsman hooks it to fine leg for the first maximum of the innings. And then more punishment for Southee as Berrington cuts him behind the sprawling Martin Guptill at point for four. This partnership is now worth 71.

Scotland 71-4 (run rate 3.2)published at 23:38 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015
35-year-old Daniel Vettori leaps like a cat to make a brilliant stop off his own bowling. Just two runs from another parsimonious over from the spinner.

Vic Marks
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special"There's almost a dilemma for Scotland, do you go for respectability, where you are almost certain to lose the game, or do you go for broke?"
Scotland 69-4published at 23:35 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015
That's better from Scotland - Machan larrups Southee to the extra-cover boundary to bring up the fifty partnership. And then Berrington gets in on the act, belting another wide delivery through cover for another boundary.

Vic Marks
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special"Well 60-4 doesn't look great but it's a lot better than 12-4. We've seen one or two really good shots from Machan, he's done well to get Scotland towards respectability."

Image source, Getty ImagesWhat's Scotland's plan here? They've rebuilt well since that catastrophic start, but they're going to need to kick on soon if they're going to set a defensible total. Just two from Vettori's latest over, Scotland marking time here.
Scotland 58-4published at 23:29 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015
Brendon McCullum, perhaps just sensing that the game has drifted, brings back Tim Southee to try and break this partnership. No immediate joy for the bowler though, as Scotland scamper three singles from the first over of his new spell.
Scotland 55-4 (Machan 30, Berrington 18)published at 23:25 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015
Daniel Vettori has had the ball on a string for the most part so far. Berrington flat-bats two to backward point when the spinner does offer some rare width.
