  5. 6 runs

    Scotland 153-7 v New Zealand 225

    The last ball of Jimmy Neesham's over is helped over the leg-side for six by Safyaan Sharif.

    More impressive though, is the man in the crowd, who runs round to take a stunning one handed catch.

    Sign him up someone.

  6. Scotland 143-7

    Two fours from the latest over, one each for Mark Watt and Safyaan Sharif take Scotland over 140.

    Just counting down the balls now.

    A brilliant spell that ripped the heart out of Scotland's batting.

  8. wicket

    WICKET Greaves b Sodhi 31

    Scotland 130-7 v New Zealand 225

    Ish Sodhi has four!

    Chris Greaves has batted really well in a losing cause, but is bowled looking to sweep.

    The Kiwi leggie has two balls for his five-fer...

  9. Scotland 125-5 v New Zealand 225

    Mitch Santner has been superb today.

    WICKET Leask c Guptill b Santner 13

    Scotland 117-6 v New Zealand 225

    Michael Leask looks to take Mitch Santner downtown, but cant only pick out the safe hands of Martin Guptill on the boundary.

  11. Scotland 114-5 v New Zealand 225

  13. Scotland 97-5 v New Zealand 225

    A four from the final ball of the over takes Chris Greaves to 19 - he's batting nicely, but that run-rate continues to climb.

    It's above 18 now.

  14. wicket

    WICKET Cross c b Sears

    Scotland 88-5 v New Zealand

    Matt Cross works Ben Sears off his pads, but in the air, and straight to Ish Sodhi at fine-leg, who takes a good diving catch.

    Scotland are capitulating here.

  15. Scotland 88-4 v New Zealand

    A better over for Scotland - nine from it, and a misfield from Lockie Ferguson that the home crowd took great pleasure in.

  16. Scotland 79-4 v New Zealand 225

    Chris Greaves gets off the mark with a hard sweep for four, but Scotland can only take two more from the over.

  17. wicket

    WICKET Berrington b Sodhi 2

    Scotland 72-4 v New Zealand

    Lovely bowling from Ish Sodhi - the googly completely deceives Richie Berrington, who can only chop on to his own stumps.

    Chris Greaves joins Matthew Cross in the middle. The required run-rate has crept over 15 - seems unlikely from here.

  18. Scotland 73-3 v New Zealand 225

    A very accomplished start from the New Zealand captain.

    The wicket, and just three runs from the over.

  19. wicket

    WICKET Macleod c&b Santner 33

    Scotland 72-3 v New Zealand 225

    It's skipper to skipper out in the middle, as Mitch Santner bowls to the new batter Richie Berrington.

    Just a single to the Scotland man, and then Calum Macleod falls very next ball.

    Another top-edged sweep, and another caught and bowled.

  20. wicket

    WICKET Hairs c&b Sodhi 7

    Scotland 70-2 v New Zealand 225

    "So nice Ish", is the chat in the middle, but Oli Hairs responds by belting him over cow corner for his first six.

    The Scotland man gets a bit greedy, goes for the same shot, but can only hit it straight up in the air.

    Sodhi takes the catch off his own bowling - held his nerve superbly there.
