So no shock today as England record their first victory of the tournament, inspired by a composed 128 from 107 balls by Moeen Ali, who shared 172 for the first wicket with Ian Bell after Scotland chose to field first.

Skipper Eoin Morgan, who had only 22 ODI runs in five previous innings, added 46, with four fours and two sixes, while paceman Steven Finn recovered from his mauling by the New Zealand batsmen to claim 3-26.

"Scotland need to improve their bowling. They can't bowl at medium pace like that. I could have gone in and got runs against that. It is not good enough at this level."

"I think Stuart Board has lost confidence batting because of Mitchell Johnson swinging round his ear hole last summer. Bowling wise, he needs some bowling because he has been out for a long time with injury."

England captain Eoin Morgan on TMS: "I am proud of the guys and how they fronted up and performed today. To get a result and through a potential banana skin and get points on the board is brilliant.

"Any runs and time in the middle is invaluable, especially considering the lack of runs I have had."

On Steven Finn: "I don't think we can look into Wellington too much. It was the worst time to bowl and the worst batsman to bowl to but he bowled really well today. I have shown faith in the guys I have selected the last two games as I feel they are the strongest we have and the best chance we have of winning games of cricket."

"If I was Alex Hales I would be asking for my ticket to go home because I'd be wondering how I am not playing here. He is a much better player than Gary Ballance."

"England will wake up tomorrow relieved. They have played below par. Now they will feel they are in with a chance. All they have to do is win a couple more matches and get through to the quarter-finals. I think they have a good chance of beating Sri Lanka as I don't think they are the force they used to be. The key is for individual players to help the captain by playing to their potential."

"The only slight concern is that Steven Finn bowled a good line but his pace is down from what it has been and when better batsmen are coming at him, like McCullum, will he be able to do it?"

"If England had lost three wickets for 50 there would have been some real jitters in the dressing room but that didn't happen and Moeen Ali played beautifully. Ian Bell had to work hard for his half-century. Fortunately at the other end Ali made it easy because he played so fluently.

"On another day when confidence is high they would probably have got another 30 or 40 runs. But 300 is pretty good for an nervous side."

Scotland captain Preston Mommsen on TMS: "We are disappointed. We didn't take the game as deep as we would have liked to. Going in at half-time we thought we were in it. We threatened but that is as far as it got. Kyle [Coetzer] batted beautifully for us but unfortunately he couldn't go on to a big one.

"England had the perfect platform so I think we can take a lot of confidence from how we handled the last 25 overs. We had good plans and the guys executed them well at the death.

"There was a good feeling in the camp and preparation was spot on. We were hoping to capitalise on England's poor recent form but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. England are still a high ranked team and are a full member nation. We had nothing to lose today and gave it our best shot.

"There is a lot of quality on display from the 11 we had out and I know that first victory is not far away."

Josh in Bedford: Solid bowling performance from England but we still refuse to bowl yorkers. These tail enders won't hit them.

So the plucky Scots remain without a win against a Test nation and have now lost their first 10 World Cup matches, joining the Netherlands as the only teams to have suffered that fate.

Scotland's Preston Mommsen: "We would have liked a few more early wickets. We came back well but then unfortunately with the bat we just couldn't quite get going. We knew we needed a partnership up front, we slowly started to get that but it wasn't enough. It's a huge step up from county cricket to international cricket, the ball is coming quicker and doing more but we are standing up to it and not shying away."

England's Eoin Morgan: "It was important for us to focus on what we do. Losing the toss and batting first when the ball could move about a bit, the two openers set a great platform. Losing batsmen set us back but we recovered really well and got a good score.

"Today was all about a win, it was nice for me to get some runs and I thought we were really good with the ball. We didn't sit and sulk about past performances, guys put in performances."

England batsman Moeen Ali on Test Match Special: "It is the most important thing that we won. It is nice to get a hundred in a winning side. These games can be tough, as we have seen in the tournament so far.

"I had a good chat with our assistant coach Paul Farbrace and we got on the mental side of it to look positively and concentrate on doing a job for the team. It is not easy, it is in the press and it feels like everyone is against us but it is important that we take that away. Teams lose, and we have not played well but what we need to do is stay together as best as we can.

"There was a point when we thought we might get 340 but we have not being playing well lately so we will take 300. Hopefully we will get on a run now and we can qualify and we will see after that."

This is England's largest victory margin by runs in a World Cup match since they beat East Africa by 196 runs at Birmingham in 1975.

"Job done. England have been professional. Man for man England are the better team on paper and quite frankly Scotland were not in the game. It was a possible banana skin if England lost early wickets after they'd been beaten heavily by Australia and New Zealand, but it never happened.

"Moeen Ali played splendidly and the other big plus is Eoin Morgan scoring runs. It was all plusses. Scotland, to me, didn't look in the same ability as England, who will sleep better tonight and wake up feeling better and refreshed for their next game against Sri Lanka. I think they will take Sri Lanka."

This is just the fifth time in their last 18 ODIs against Associates sides that England have bowled the opposition out.

Moeen Ali: "It's nice to get a bit of form going into the next game. It's nice to get a winning hundred. Hopefully now we can get on a run and win the next three.

"I didn't feel like I bowled that well. It was nice just to get some wickets and bowl 10 overs."
