Steve Bull off the bench to net the winner on debut at Hampden Park, Gazza's great run, finish and dentist's chair celebration at Euro 96, Scotland fans invade the Wembley pitch as McQueen and Dalglish stun the home crowd in 1977, Jocky Wilson's fairytale 1989 Lakeside comeback against Eric Bristow and England's pain in the Murrayfield rain of 2000.

Football, rugby union and darts have had their fair share of ding-dong clashes between England and Scotland over the ages, but cricket has yet to write its own chapter in the Battle of Britain sporting almanac.

Is that about to change?

Former England captain Michael Vaughan:, external Stubbornness can be great at times and absolutely madness at times...

Trumpton Eddie:, external I wonder what words there are left in the English dictionary for @GeoffreyBoycott to use if England lose this one?

England captain Eoin Morgan: "It has not the ideal start to the campaign but this is a chance for us to get started.

"I would have bowled first but the wicket looks good, so we don't mind batting first. The balance of our side and the chance for players to put a performance under the belt is the most important thing. It is a strong side we have put out and a chance for us to turn things around."

Two changes for the Scots, batsman Freddie Coleman and Alasdair Evans replace Hamish Gardiner and Rob Taylor. Saving them for the big one? Freddie's average needs a bit of work though. It's only 12 so far. All-rounder Evans has only played eight ODIS and has five wickets with a best of 2-34.

Scotland captain Preston Mommsen: "This is where we qualified for the World Cup so we are happy to be here. He [Paul Collingwood] has been hugely influential and knows the England players so he has been very valuable.

"The wicket should play well but we may get some swing early on. It is always nice to be playing the neighbours. They have not had the best start so hopefully we can put them under pressure early on."

Skipper Eoin Morgan confirms England have named the same team thrashed by New Zealand.

Scotland win the toss and will bowl first in overcast conditions at the Hagley Oval.

Remarkable scenes we're hearing, the England and Wales Cricket Board have tweeted, external England are unchanged.

The Scots pushed New Zealand considerably closer than England did in their one match so far, recovering from 12-4 to lose by only three wickets in the end. They are unbeaten in their two previous ODIs here. Their opener Calum MacLeod has made the highest score on the ground, a superb 175 against Canada last year. They're almost favourites aren't they?

This match is being played on the same Hagley Oval pitch where West Indies made 310 against Pakistan the other day, Andre Russell making 42 from 13 balls with four sixes. Anyone going to play a similar innings tonight do you think?

We'll have news of the toss very shortly and we'll see how many changes England make after the New Zealand debacle. Or will they surprise everyone and keep the same team?

England have the worst net run-rate of any team in the competition and their paltry total in the last game was overhauled in 12.3 overs by New Zealand. In the last few years they have lost twice in the World Twenty20 to the Netherlands and in the last World Cup were beaten by Ireland. Could they lose to Scotland tonight?
