  1. Sco 40-1published at 5.3 overs

    Is that Jos Buttler out there?

    Matthew Cross unfurls yet another shot in his locker and powerfully drives Adam Milne for a third consecutive four.

  2. Sco 36-1published at 5.2 overs

    Two in two!

    Matthew Cross swivels it forcefully round the corner for four more.

    A big over beckons?

  3. Sco 32-1published at 5.1 overs

    Well I say that and then Adam Milne drops short for once and Matthew Cross pulls it away brilliantly for four.

    His first boundary of the day.

  4. Sco 28-1published at 5 overs

    Trying to be positive against Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Adam Milne ain't easy.

    Scotland have to get going. It is going to be so difficult in the middle period with the New Zealand spinners so they have to score as many as they can in the next few overs.

  6. Sco 26-1published at 4.3 overs

    Eight dots in a row before George Munsey finally gets a single by tapping it just wide enough of cover.

    Slight chance of a run out but Matthew Cross looked home and Jimmy Neesham's shy missed anyway.

  7. Sco 25-1published at 4 overs

    Target 173

    Matthew Cross plays and misses at another Adam Milne snorter in the channel.

    Five dots in a row...and Milne makes it a majestic maiden as Cross misses another not far outside off.

    The wicket of Kyle Coetzer and that over have wrecked Scotland's momentum.

  8. Sco 25-1published at 3.2 overs

    Adam Milne beats Matthew Cross for pace and hits him high on the pad.

    Big appeal but nothing doing. That was clearly going over.

    The rapid Adam Milne enters the fray while Trent Boult continues to imitate George Munsey's drive pose on the boundary.

  10. Postpublished at 12:11 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2021

    Haha. George Munsey held the pose after that beautiful drive and Trent Boult isn't happy with that.

    A bit of chirp from the Kiwi quick before he mimics taking a picture.

    "One for the cameras, that, mate, yeah?"

    Munsey just stares him out.

    That is a big loss for Scotland because Coetzer looked in good form. It's all over to Munsey now.

  12. Sco 25-1published at 3 overs

    Georgey Munsey plays and misses at a beautiful outswinger from Trent Boult.

    New Zealand put two slips in...

    ...but Munsey responds with a gorgeous on-drive for four.

    Scotland do have to keep coming at them.

    That went straight as a die back over the bowler's head.

    Coetzer c Southee b Boult 17 (Sco 21-1)

    Don't make Trent Boult angry.

    After being hit for four, Boult sets up Kyle Coetzer brilliantly with a sharp bouncer followed by a slower knuckle-ball that the Scotland captain skies off a leading edge.

    Tim Southee safely snaffles it and that's a massive blow for Scotland.

    Canny stuff yet again by Boult.

  15. Sco 21-0published at 2.3 overs

    Kyle Coetzer punches majestically off his tip toes through point for four.

    That is a beauty.

    Trent Boult follows it up with an angry bouncer that Coetzer has to duck.

  16. Sco 17-0published at 2 overs

    Munsey 2, Coetzer 13

    Tim Southee errs with a couple of wides before he sends down a hooping delivery to the left-handed George Munsey that just about misses the bat and the stumps.

    Munsey hasn't found his touch yet but this is a decent start by Scotland.

    This pitch is like a billiard table.

  18. Sco 14-0published at 1.2 overs

    Kyle Coetzer has a third boundary as a square drive off Tim Southee through the covers teases Daryl Mitchell all the way to the fence.

    And Mitchell makes a hash of his attempt to scoop the ball back in time, flicking it into his face as his foot slides into the sponge.

    Ideal start for Scotland - getting themselves going with a couple of boundaries. I would love to see them really go after New Zealand in this powerplay.

  20. Sco 9-0published at 1 over

    Target 173

    Kyle Coetzer now flicks crisply through mid-wicket for four more.

    A very handy first over for Scotland.
