Will Scotland take 200 now if the banker rings up and offers them a deal? I'd say so. They have two new batsmen - Richie Berrington and Matt Cross - at the crease.

"Scotland seemed to be riding the storm with these two putting on fifty, but now they have some big rebuilding to do. We know Berrington, Cross and Davey can hold a bat but beyond that you're into hitters and tail-enders. This is the game that gives them the best chance of victory but they are not looking good at the moment."

The wheels are coming off now. Canny seamer Gulbadin Naib gets one to nibble and leave the right-handed Preston Mommsen who edges behind to the wicketkeeper. The skipper's hopes of a big knock are ended.

When the flashing bails are disturbed - as they were when Matt Machan was bowled - they look like a hot ash rising from a fire. Scotland need to rise from the ashes here, because the Afghans appear to be taking control.

Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza says his side has been energised by the victory over Afghanistan and believes his side can record a fifth ODI victory against Sri Lanka in this, the 38th meeting between the sides.

"We lost to Afghanistan in the Asia Cup last year and many people thought they will win again - but look what happened. We won easily and the same can happen again," he said.

"We have defeated Sri Lanka in recent times and we can do so again if we play to our potential."

"That's a big wicket because he's Scotland's most dangerous player but he took liberties there. Nabi is a very old fashioned spinner, no great thrills and he gets close to the stumps. Machan made room and stepped away to leg, which is a high risk shot given the number of overs left and those bails went flying. It's a bad judgement because they were going along quite nicely. It's a bit of a waste."

Why, why, why? Matt Machan will be asking himself that question a few times in the next few hours after he is bowled by off-spinner Nabi, who goes round the wicket to the left-handed Scot, holds one back and knocks back the off stick. A promising partnership is ended.

These two are putting Scotland into a decent position, and bring up their 50 partnership off 54 balls. It's the second time they have done so in nine innings batting together. We're into the middle overs now, meaning it's all about ones and twos. Who will show their hand and be aggressive in their bowling/batting/field placings first?

"I've long believed that you judge a cricket ground by the 'lap' you can walk around it. Can you get all the way, or will you be stopped by some over-zealous security? Can you see the cricket for most of your circumnavigation?

"Dunedin scores highly and also provides proof that we're in a Scottish city. Also spotted - Scotland coach Paul Collingwood and match referee David Boon having a crafty cigarette."

By my calculations, Afghanistan have given away at least 10 runs in the field today from mistakes. That would be my only criticism of them, mind. They have bowled well after putting Scotland into bat and the match is nicely poised. Four from Nabi's latest over.

Mike Hemsley: There's a tube ad in London where James Anderson REALLY looks like Timothy Olyphant (the bad guy in Die Hard 4, amongst other things).

Young Matt Machan, who has two first-class hundreds to his name in 20 matches, is easy on the eye. He unfurls another sumptuous cover drive to the boundary, while Preston Mommsen weighs in with four of his own courtesy of a mis-field. Dare I say it, but this partnership is looking good.

Scotland's assistant coach Paul Collingwood sits on the boundary munching a sandwich and wearing a Scotland vest. He looks trim and pale - not that the Dunedin rays will pose too much harm today on this mild morning. Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi, an off-spinner, gives himself a bowl and goes round the wicket to the left-handed Machan. Just two from the over.

Just over halfway in the New Zealand innings and England have done well to peg them back to 72-4 from 25.2 overs in the fourth one-day international in Lincoln.

Rebecca Grundy and Kate Cross both have two wickets, and Grundy has the outstanding figures of 2-2 from two overs.

I quite like the Scotland one-day kit. It's dark blue, of course, with a tartan pattern on the arms. It's steady as she goes for the Scots at the moment, with the good balls being defended and the bad ones getting the treatment. Matt Machan drives one of those bad balls through to the cover boundary, then gets lucky when he edges one through the slips and it runs away for another four.

"Machan is one of the dangermen. He's established himself as a county player for Sussex and is probably as gifted as any of the Scottish players. Mommsen, as the captain, will want to lead the team and establish the way forward."

Dawlat Zadran stands at the top of his bowling mark with two fingers straddling the seam of the white ball we use in one-day cricket. He's into his seventh over now and possibly tiredness is creeping in as he drops short and the left-handed Matt Machan tucks into a boundary through the the off side.

Scorecard

Listen to Test Match Special commentary

Gulbadin Naib, who has eight wickets in 14 one-day internationals, is brought into the attack. Bowling with less pace than those before him, he's more a canny bowler and when he runs one across his fingers, it nips back and beats the outside edge. However, his lack of pace is exposed when he drops short and Preston Mommsen pulls him to the boundary. Drinks.
