    "I think New Zealand has three or four of the best international grounds in the world and this is one of them. It is perfect for this sort of fixture, the ground is full but not heaving."

  2. Scotland 52-4published at 23:21 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015

    New Zealand have been electric in the field so far in this tournament and Kane Williamson upholds those high standards with a great stop at cover. Berrington squirts one through the covers for two to bring up Scotland's fifty.

    "I haven't seen a ball go off the straight from Vettori but there a little variations of pace which almost got him a wicket, he's got acres of experience."

  4. Scotland 47-4 (run rate 2.9)published at 23:16 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015

    Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline' blasts out over the tannoy, and indeed good times have never seemed so good for New Zealand, who are well in control of this match with an hour played. Berrington plays out a watchful maiden from Vettori.

    John Lindsay:, external 38-4 Scotland. No way NZ are coming back from that. Off to bed. Well done Scotland!

  6. Drinks breakpublished at 23:11 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015

    The baby-faced Machan has played well so far, but he's furious when he misses out on a juicy short and wide one from Milne. Berrington picks up three with a meaty drive through extra-cover. Time for drinks.

  8. Scotland 43-4 (Machan 26, Berrington 11)published at 23:06 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015

    The bespectacled spin wizard Daniel Vettori is handed the ball for the first time today. He bowled magnificently against Sri Lanka in New Zealand's last match. Three singles from his first over.

  9. Scotland 40-4published at 23:04 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015

    Scotland haven't exactly got their foot on the accelerator yet, but just signs that they might be at least starting to move the car out of the garage. Good sharp running earns Berrington two for a flick behind square.

    Trent Boult continues at the other end, but finally Scotland go on the attack. First Machan lofts him over extra-cover for four, then he follows up with another boundary, thumping him down to long-on.

    The lowest World Cup total is 36 by Canada against Sri Lanka in Paarl in 2003. The Canadians also share the next lowest, 45, against England at Old Trafford in 1979, a score matched by Namibia against Australia in 2003.

  13. Scotland 27-4published at 22:54 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015

    Good news for Scotland: Tim Southee's spell is over. Bad news: Adam Milne, a bowler capable of touching 95mph, is into the attack. However the bowler does stray, offering Richie Berrington a bit of width, and he seizes on it like a starving man on a croissant, clattering it away through backward point for his first boundary.

    Matt Machan looks about as comfortable as a man in hessian underpants as Trent Boult gives him another thorough working-over. The bowler nearly has a third wicket when an away-swinger kisses the edge and falls just short of third slip. Another maiden, pressure building.

    This is the second time in ODIs that there have been three first-ball ducks in the top-five batsmen. The other occasion was Bangladesh v Sri Lanka at Pietermaritzburg at the 2003 World Cup when Chaminda Vaas took a hat-trick with the first three balls of the match.

    Richie Berrington has not looked fluent in his stay at the crease so far, perhaps understandably, and he can't do any more than play out six dots to Tim Southee's latest over. He has two runs from 18 balls now.

  20. Scotland 22-4 (Machan 16 , Berrington 2)published at 22:43 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2015

    New Zealand's bowling has been absolutely top-drawer, perhaps reaping the benefits of the coaching of former Kiwi bowling star Shane Bond. Scotland, meanwhile find, themselves in a situation that even James Bond might struggle to escape: at the moment they're suspended above the teeming piranha pool with a laser burning through their rope at an alarming rate - metaphorically, at least. Boult nearly picks up a fifth wicket for New Zealand when Berrington plays all around an attempted yorker that somehow misses the stumps.
