    That just looked too easy for Martin Guptill.

  2. NZ 146-3

    Alasdair Evans will bowl his fourth and final over. Can he stem the tide?

    Back-to-back wides don't help, though the second is slightly harsh as it was close to being a very good slower ball bouncer. Guptill adds insult to injury by nonchalantly hammering the next delivery through midwicket for six.

    That was so dismissive. Six fours and seven sixes for Guptill - and counting.

    Safyaan Sharif went for the yorker, didn't quite find his length and Martin Guptill plays that Jos Buttler-esque flick of the wrists to power it over the boundary.

  4. 6 runs

    NZ 137-3

    He may be struggling with the heat but it is not affecting his eye.

    Martin Guptill gives a full toss from Safyaan Sharif the treatment as he smashes it through midwicket for another six.

    A wonderful effort from the New Zealand opener, who again drops down to his haunches at the end of the over.

  5. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special

    Sharif drops short for once and Guptill hammers him for six.

    Guptill doubled over in pain after that - dehydration perhaps? He looks OK to carry on now.

  6. 6 runs

    NZ 129-3

    Safyaan Sharif drops short and Martin Guptill powers the ball over deep mid-wicket for six.

    Guptill immediately drops to his haunches after that shot. It looks like the searing heat is getting to him.

  7. How quickly things can change. Scotland had New Zealand in a bit of bother at 52-3 when Devon Conway was caught behind trying to reverse sweep Mark Watt.

    Martin Guptill has dragged the game back into the Kiwis' favour, though.

  8. John Blain
    Former Scotland bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Scotland let this slip after the drinks break. They conceded 36 runs in the next three overs after the break. Kyle Coetzer needs to rethink who bowls after drinks.

  9. NZ 120-3

    Martin Guptill is looking exhausted out there as he grabs a welcome drink and towel down between overs.

    I'm sure he has more in the tank though. He is 68 from 45 deliveries and a century is most definitely on.

  10. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Leask slightly misjudged that. It only landed a foot or so over the rope. But he was so close that it was tough.

  11. 6 runs

    NZ 116-3

    Another huge hit from Guptill as he powers a short ball from Brad Wheal over mid-wicket!

    The unfortunate Michael Leask is the boundary rider again and he can only get a hand to it as the ball lands over the rope for six.

  12. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Mark Watt uses the crease really well, varying from where he delivers the ball each delivery.

  13. NZ 110-3

    You don't see that very often. Mark Watt is really mixing things up, including delivering the ball from way behind the stumps and behind the umpire.

    It did the trick though, just three runs and a wide off it.

    You would think that if Guptill can bat through for a while NZ could still post a decent total, with Phillips and the all-rounders adding some big shots.

    Oh dear oh dear. It was in the air for a long time and he'll be very disappointed to have dropped that. He was on the move though.

  16. dropped catch

    Phillips dropped on 20

    Oh no! by Glenn Phillips dropped by Michael Leask at deep mid-wicket!

    He did the hard work by getting round to it, but the ball bounced agonisingly out of his hands and on to the turf. A tough chance.

  17. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    102 metres!

  18. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    That's top tier at Dubai! That's huge! I've only seen Andre Russell do that before. Got to be over 100m.

  19. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    That is a colossal hit to bring up his fifty!

  20. 50 runs

    50 for Martin Guptill

    That is huge.

    Chris Greaves is back into the attack but sees his second delivery launched into orbit by Martin Guptill over wide long-on for six.

    Fifty for Guptill and things looking ominous for Scotland.
