Maxwell continues from the other end, and Scotland are going to score as many runs as they can with pace off the ball. Josh Davey collects a couple of boundaries, whipping one down to cow-corner and slotting one through the covers.

Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen told Fox Sports he "definitely" thought they would make the World Cup quarter-finals:

"Because of the talent in that squad and the way that some of them play their cricket, I definitely thought that they had an outside chance," he said.

"It's really disappointing to see that talent getting on an aeroplane when there's real big stuff which could produce wonderful things for their careers. They'll live, they'll learn and they'll come back strong."

Rob Taylor is the new man. He survives the next two balls.

"The Scotland innings is fading fast here. It was too quick for thee and Haddin took the catch with ease. Unfortunately it's games like these that will have the ICC thinking that 10 teams is enough in a World Cup."

Man the lifeboats. Matthew Cross is gone too. He had looked like a nick-off candidate since he got to the crease, and so it proves as he feathers one to Brad Haddin. Much more success for Pat Cummins in his second spell, courtesy of a fuller length and a more probing line.

"It's amazing that it carried so far. It was almost a leg-glanced prod. But that's the problem with these new bats, the ball goes so far. It was a leg side prod that made its way all the way to the long leg boundary. It's starting to look as bit ugly for the Scots."

Scotland are sinking fast here. Water sloshing all over the decks now as Matt Machan perishes, lofting a fairly innocuous ball from the returning Pat Cummins straight into the breadbasket of James Faulkner at long leg.

Spots of rain coming down as Glenn Maxwell wheels away. Cross spanks him wide of cover point for four. Time for drinks.

The camera lingers on a man in the crowd who is painted in the colours of the Scottish flag. Looking blue, and probably feeling blue too, the way his team have played.

That'll cheer him up - two consecutive fours for Machan off Johnson. First up he pulls him to the fence at square-leg, then he helps a wide ball over point. Good batting, and how Scotland need him to continue here if they're to get up to a decent total.

Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor on his 138: "The pitch was a little two-paced to start, but it flattened out later on in the innings.

"Sean (Williams) and I were able to get a partnership together quite nicely. The seamers were hard to get away and we took a few calculated risks against the spinners.

"With myself and Sean going well there, we knew we needed anything over 300 to be competitive against a powerful India batting line-up, so we'll feel like we've finished a few short there."

"This is the first time that India have bowled the opposition out in six consecutive ODIs. They also join South Africa (2011) as the only team to bowl the opposition out in six consecutive World Cup matches."

"The major award for pluck has to go to Brendan Taylor, who played a superb innings. He didn't just hit the ball, he dismissed it, and proceeded to turn Eden Park into a village carnival, dismantling the Indian attack."

Zimbabwe have been bowled out with seven balls to spare in Auckland, finishing on 287 against India. Brendan Taylor top scored with 138, supported by Stuart Williams with 50, while pace trio Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma all took three wickets.

Maxwell continues. Tricky situation for these two batsmen - who surely have to show a bit more caution to avoid an all-out here, but need to keep the run-rate ticking over too. Three singles from a risk-free over is the compromise.

Five or six men in the cordon for Johnson as Australia look to grind Scotland's face in the dirt. Cross is not deterred from playing his shots outside off stump though - he gets one good stroke past point for four, and then aims a considerably worse one at a wide ball which he is lucky not to edge. Not a great mover of his feet, is Cross - think John Sergeant on Strictly Come Dancing.

Maxwell isn't renowned as a prodigious turner of a cricket ball but he's getting plenty of grip off the surface here, with one delivery turning down the leg side and beating Brad Haddin all ends up. Four wides, which seems a little harsh. Matthew Cross is the new man.

"It's not a bad play going at Glenn Maxwell, targeting him as the part-time bowler. But, I wouldn't have minded Richie Berrington taking more than one delivery to assess the situation. A two or three-ball sighter would've probably been a better idea."

Well, I did tell you he wasn't looking convincing. Glenn Maxwell is into the attack, and even he must be faintly astonished to see his gentle floater of a first ball sliced straight into the mitts of David Warner at deep cover. I'm saying it - that was a very bad shot.

It's all happening in Auckland - in the space of four balls, Sikandar Raza swipes Mohammed Shami for a four and two sixes before having his stumps shattered by a yorker. Zimbabwe are 284-7 with four overs left.

Richie Berrington is the new man. He's off the mark with an unconvincing single when Johnson gets one to rear up off the seam and hit the handle. Fiery stuff.
