Wowee... how has that missed the stumps?!

Chris McBride seams one back through the gate, and it must have shaved the off-bail on its way through to Matt Cross.

There's still movement there for Scotland.

Chris McBride replaces Ali Evans, but his first ball is a juicy half-volley outside off-stump, and Pathum Nissanka climbs in.

That's all along the carpet through extra cover, and it brings up a run-a-ball 50 for the Sri Lankan opener.

An expensive over from Jack Jarvis, whose first two overs were excellent, but he strays onto the pads here.

Two boundaries through the leg-side, and that's 11 from the over.

Ali Evans' line and length are bang on the money for the first five balls of his second set, and he almost picks up the wicket of Sadeera Samarawickrama - a thick inside edge somehow missing the stumps.

However, Evans strays onto Samarawickrama's pads with the final ball of the over, and it's whipped through square leg for four.

Excellent stuff from Jack Jarvis, who is tight to the stumps, not allowing the Sri Lankan batters to free their arms.

Nine of his 12 balls so far have been dots.

Ali Evans is on at the other end, and is belted through the covers a couple of times by Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama, but there's a sweeper well placed.

Scotland continue to limit the scoring.

Jack Jarvis is into the attack for Scotland, one of several youngsters that have broken into the national side over the past year or so.

He shows some youthful exuberance first up, bowling an excellent yorker that has Pathum Nissanka jamming the bat down, and the 20-year-old backs that up, going for just three runs in the over.

Chris Sole gets a sixth over as Scotland seek a third Sri Lankan wicket, but a short ball allows Pathum Nissanka to pull powerfully for four and relieve some pressure.

Another probing over from Brandon McMullen draws the powerplay to a close, and Scotland will be pleased with the first ten overs.

It's Sri Lanka's lowest powerplay score of this tournament so far, and Chris Sole has removed Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis to boot.

Pathum Nissanka is still there though having been dropped at slip - he has 29 from 33 balls.

Brandon McMullen continues to ask questions of the Sri Lankan batters, and again finds the outside edge, but it's wide of slip and runs away for four fortuitous runs.

McMullen has his hands on his hips - he cannot believe he's wicketless.

Another quiet over, with just one run coming from Chris Sole's latest set.

Scotland would love another wicket or two in the powerplay.

Incredibly tidy stuff from Brandon McMullen, who continues to swing this white ball.

Just the one run from the over.

Chris Sole is operating at around 140 kph, which is around 87 mph in English - you can understand why it burst through Dimuth Karunaratne's defences.

That pace has Kusal Mendis looking slightly uncomfortable, but the diminutive number three gets off the mark with a thick edge down to third.

Brandon McMullen continues to find just enough movement, and this time finds the inside edge of Dimuth Karunaratne's bat.

Matt Cross, standing up to the stumps, can't cling on, and both Sri Lankan openers have been put down in the same over.

A tough chance, but down it goes...

Brandon McMullen shapes one away from Pathum Nissanka, finds the outside edge, but Mark Watt can't get down quickly enough to his left.

Nissanka gets a life.

Chris Sole can be a real handful, and he shows that with a couple of sharp deliveries that have Dimuth Karunaratne hopping around.

However, there's a couple of shorter deliveries that the Sri Lankan openers are able to pull to the square leg fence.

10 off it.

Brandon McMullen is straight into his work, finding movement and targeting the stumps with wicket-keeper Matt Cross up to the stumps.

He just pushes one a wee bit fuller though, and Pathum Nissanka belts it back down the ground for four.

Lovely shot.

It's a decent first over from Chris Sole, bowling with good pace, but Pathum Nissanka is a quality operator and he takes seven from it.

A handsome drive over the top brings two, before he guides down to third for four more, and then pinches a quick single into the leg side.

Brandon McMullen, Scotland's bright young thing, will open up from the other end.
