    Webster Mhariwa: Come on Zim, make us smile for once. Seems the #MNtini revolution taking place. Go on boys...

    Sco 61-5 (target 148)

    Mommsen, bat waving frantically, helps himself to a two down to long-off, while a slog-sweep to mid-wicket hangs tantalisingly in the air... but falls safely in front of the fielder. Berrington gives it some long handle - and has the Scots fans applauding as he launches Williams for a straight six. We're at the halfway stage - anyone out there think Scotland can pull off a famous victory? The requirement: 87 from 60 balls.

    Christian Evans: I think Andy Murray batting with his tennis racquet would get into this Scotland side...

  4. Sco 50-5 (target 148)

    I may have done Sikandar Raza a disservice earlier - his catch was much, much better than I initially thought, I'm sure you'll want to watch that again on our in-play highlights. Now it's his turn to bowl some off-spin - Mommsen steers a cheeky two to short fine leg. One or two scrappy bits of fielding compared to those good catches earlier, while Donald Tiripano goes over on his ankle in the field. He's only bowled two of his four overs, we'll keep an eye on him. Fifty up for Scotland, but at a great cost.

    "Leask would have looked silly if Mutumbani had fumbled that stumping. Always give yourself a chance to get back, just in case."

  6. Sco 43-5 (target 148)

    I seem to recall writing that Scotland needed a captain's innings from Preston Mommsen two days ago...  He's up and running with a single. The Scots need 105 from 72 balls, with only five wickets standing.

    WICKET

    Leask st Mutumbani b Williams 9 (Sco 42-5)

    If the ICC employ an engraver, they can start carving "SC Williams" on that man-of-the-match medal. Flight and guile from the slow left-armer, Leask is lured down the wicket and is the second Scot to be stumped today. He doesn't even try to get back.

  8. Sco 42-4

    Time for the second left-arm spinner in Zimbabwe's ranks - it's Sean Williams, who was their hero with the bat. A wicket or two here, and he'll have both hands on the man-of-the-match gong. Berrington and Leask find some relatively easy pickings with some ones and twos.

  9. Sco 37-4 (target 148)

    More good variation in pace from Tiripano, Leask isn't reading his slower ball - but he manages to force a two out to cow corner. Berrington fares a little better, pulling Scotland's first four since the third over. Nine runs from the over - just as well, as the required rate is sneaking up towards nine.

    Meanwhile, there are some brightly-dressed Afghanistan fans already making their way into the ground - they're in action later today against Hong Kong. Watch in-play highlights here from 14:00 GMT.

  10. Sco 28-4 (Berrington 6, Leask 2)

    Tinashe Panyangara, who was normally taking the new ball during the World Cup (where he also brought out his "wriggling eel" wicket celebration), is into the attack. He'll be able to learn a lot from Zimbabwe's new bowling coach - the ex-South Africa paceman Makhaya Ntini.

    Scotland are a little more adventurous this over, but Berrington has to pull out the full-length dive to get safely back for a two. That's the powerplay done.

  11. Mel Jones
    Former Australia batter

    "A good change of pace from Tiripano in that over. That's something the pacemen will have noticed from the first games here on Tuesday."

  12. Sco 23-4

    Donald Tiripano, another right-arm seamer, into the attack. Watchful from Berrington and Leask, just one single from the over.

    Zimbabwe, for comparison, were 19-2 at this stage.

    Shane: This Scotland run chase is falling apart quicker than a suit from a discount clothing store.

    Adil: Proud to be Scottish....no wait!

  14. Sco 22-4 (target 148)

    Michael Leask in at number six - he certainly wouldn't have expected to be batting this early. He and Berrington are off the mark with a single apiece, but Scotland look shell-shocked after that flurry of wickets.

    WICKET

    Coetzer c Raza b Chatara 3 (Sco 20-4)

    Scotland are making, as the phrase goes, a complete pig's ear of this.

    Kyle Coetzer is the fourth man to go, whacking Chatara to short extra cover where Sikandar Raza takes a superb one-handed catch. Four wickets down in 14 balls.

  17. Sco 20-3 (W Masakadza 2-0-16-2)

    New batsman Richie Berrington sensibly sees out the rest of the over.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Machan c sub (CJ Chibhabha) b W Masakadza 9 (Sco 20-3)

    What did I say about not panicking? Having already hit two boundaries this over, Machan goes for another big shot - and hits it straight to substitute fielder Chamu Chibhabha at mid-on.

    Three wickets down in the space of 10 balls.

  19. Sco 20-2 (Coetzer 3, Machan 9)

    Big brother gives little brother a second over - but Wellington Masakadza is expertly swept for four by Matt Machan, who then launches a first-bounce four just wide of the man running round to long-on.

  20. Sco 12-2 (target 148)

    And nearly a run-out next ball as new batsman Matt Machan is sent back... Scotland need to stand down from panic stations here. They're chasing 148, not 248... Machan is off the mark.

    Some news of Vusi Sibanda - he's had four stitches in his chin after that earlier collision and (sensibly, as he's a non-bowling batsman) has not taken the field.
