    If Leask can get into the stage where it's a free for all in the final few overs, he can do some damage.

  2. Sco 84-5published at 14.3 overs

    Blain's eyes are not fibbing. Leask grounded his bat in time. Not out.

    It looked like he was in but the eyes do lie.

  4. Umpire reviewpublished at 14.3 overs

    Greaves dabs and runs. The throw comes in from backward point and it's a direct hit! Another close one. I can't call it.

    Chris Greaves will not die wondering.

  6. Sco 82-5published at 14.1 overs

    Talking of Trumpelmann, he's back into the attack and is sweeped to the boundary by Greaves for four.

    If you're just joining us, here is an incredible start to this game as Ruben Trumpelmann got his team off to an absolute flier!

  8. Sco 78-5published at 14 overs

    Yet another run out chance as Leask dives in and makes his ground as the throw comes in.

    Much better from Scotland as Greaves finds the gap in the off side for four more.

    There is a lot of responsibility on Michael Leask now.

  10. Sco 68-5published at 13 overs

    Lots of uneven bounce is making a tricky situation even tricker for Scotland.

    But Leask is the man to rescue to Scotland here as sways Smit for six over mid-wicket. Nicely done! He moves to 34 off 20.

    That was a good save in the Premier League on a Saturday. He tipped it around the post.

    Green will look back on it and be disappointed he hasn't made it.

  12. Greaves dropped on 0published at 12 overs

    Sco 58-5

    Frynlick nearly has a double wicket maiden! The seamer finds the edge of Chris Greave's bat and wicketkeeper Zane Green, diving to his right, drops it with one hand.

    The 'keeper just couldn't get there in time and parries it away.

    He opens himself up, tries to cut the ball to the deep cover fielder, but it creeps under the bat. An important partnership is broken.

    Cross b Frylinck 19 (Sco 57-5)

    Just as Scotland to start to show some promise, they lose a wicket.

    Jan Frylinck angles into Matthew Cross, gets a hint of movement and knocks over off stump.

    Scotland are finding some momentum here.

  17. Sco 57-4published at 11 overs

    Scotland's first six of the innings as Leask makes some space and clears the long-on boundary!

  18. Sco 51-4published at 10.5 overs

    In the slot from Van Lingen and Leask smashes him back down the ground for a one-bounce four! Lovely!

    There will be upsets in this tournament. If it was played on belters of wickets, the stronger sides become a lot harder to bear. When the wickets aren't great, like we're seeing here, it brings the gap between the top and the bottom that much closer.

  20. Scotland 44-4published at 10.1 overs

    Another change in bowling as left-arm medium pacer Michael Van Lingen comes on.

    A single takes Scotland to a score which is quite pleasing to write out fully... fourty four for four.
