Summary

  • Live text coverage from The Grange in Edinburgh

  • New Zealand comfortably defeated the Scots in their two previous meetings this week

  1. Postpublished at 16 overs

    Scotland 73-2

    Blair Tickner has been really impressive here, and Richie Berrington can only block out his latest over.

    There's been just 11 run s in the last five overs...

  2. Postpublished at 15 overs

    Scotland 72-2

    A good over from Michael Bracewell - just three singles from it.

    Scotland's early momentum has slowed after the fall of those two wickets.

    WICKET Macleod c Guptill b Tickner 7published at 13.3 overs

    Scotland 69-2

    Calum Macleod cannot get over the top of a cut shot, and guides it straight to the bucket hands of Martin Guptill at point.

    He's furious with himself.

    Richie Berrington joins Jones in the middle.

  4. Postpublished at 13 overs

    Scotland 68-1

    Macleod and Jones continue to knock Bracewell around.

    Five off it.

  5. Postpublished at 12 overs

    Scotland 63-1

    Really good bowling from Blair Tickner, constantly asking questions of the two batters.

  6. Postpublished at 11 overs

    Scotland 62-1

    Spin is in the game for the first time today, as Michael Bracewell rolls his arm over.

    Scotland milk the Kiwi offie nicely, taking seven from it.

  7. Postpublished at 10 overs

    Scotland 55-1

    Blair Tickner is into the attack, replacing Lockie Ferguson.

    Michael Jones greets him with an imposing shot that races to the cover fence.

    Calum Macleod then gets in on the action - four more, nobody move!

  8. Postpublished at 9 overs

    Scotland 46-1

    Calum Macleod is at three for Scotland.

    He sees off the rest of the over.

  9. wicket

    WICKET Coetzer c Tickner b Duffy 22published at 8.2 overs

    Scotland 46-1

    Apologies Scotland fans, I jinxed that somewhat.

    A nothing shot really from the former Scotland captain, who chips a short-arm jab straight to mid-on.

  10. Postpublished at 8 overs

    Scotland 45-0

    New Zealand's opening bowlers continue to work away on an off-stump line with little to no reward.

  11. Postpublished at 7 overs

    Scotland 42-0

    A flashing drive from Coetzer brings oohs and ahs from the slip corden, but it's another steady over for the Scots.

  12. Postpublished at 6 overs

    Scotland 40-0

    Two lovely back foot shots from Michael Jones keep the runs flowing, as first he carves Lockie Ferguson through backward point, before a controlled pull brings four more.

  13. Postpublished at 5 overs

    Scotland 32-0

    Still relatively few dramas for Scotland's opening pair.

    It looks a flat pitch.

  14. Postpublished at 4 overs

    Scotland 30-0

    This is a very productive start for Scotland, and the returning Kyle Coetzer.

    A whip through midwicket, a chipped cover drive, and then a somewhat fortuitous inside edge all race to the fence.

    14 off it.

  15. Postpublished at 3 overs

    Scotland 16-0

    Gorgeous from Coetzer, who guides Duffy to the point boundary.

    Scotland fans have grown accustomed to that over the years.

  16. Postpublished at 2 overs

    Scotland 11-0

    It's what you expect from Lockie Ferguson, but he opens up with a lively set.

    The final ball whistles past Michael Jones' outside edge - a nod of approval from the Durham man, as he rehearses his shot.

  17. Postpublished at 1 over

    Scotland 9-0

    A nice start for the hosts, as they take nine from the first over, including a wonderful back-foot punch from Michael Jones that races through the offside for four.

    Lockie Ferguson will open up from the Inverleith Park end.

    Scotland 0-0

    Jacob Duffy has the new ball for the tourists...
