    Scotland 136-1 v Austria

    It's just started spitting with rain here at Goldenacre.

    Nothing heavy enough to take the players off, and fingers crossed it blows through quickly.

    Yep, George Munsey has had enough of knocking it around, and launches Amit Nathwani over long-on for six.

    13 off it - much more like it.

    Another tight over from Abdullah Akbarjan - something's got to give...

  4. Postpublished at 10 overs

    Scotland 116-1 v Austria

    Just five runs from Shahil Momin's latest over, which understandably brings lots of praise from the Austrian fielders.

    You sense that Scotland won't simply rotate the strike for much longer...

    Scotland 113-1 v Austria

    George Munsey and Brandon McMullen are content to milk Abdullah Akbarjan for ones and twos.

    Akbarjan is bowling very slowly, giving them absolutely nothing to work with.

  6. 100 runs

    up for Scotlandpublished at 7.2 overs

    Scotland 100-1 v Austria

    Two twos start the eighth over, and that takes Scotland to 100 from just 44 balls.

    They're on for a massive total here.

    WICKET Hairs c Randhawa b Akbarjan 23published at 7 overs

    Scotland 96-1 v Austria

    Oli Hairs absolutely belts Abdullah Akbarjan for six over midwicket, but falls from the very next ball attempting to repeat the shot.

    Blessed relief for Austria, who remove yesterday's centurion.

    Brandon McMullen is in at three.

  8. Raining boundariespublished at 6 overs

    Scotland 88-0 v Austria

    Men against boys at Goldenacre.

    George Munsey dispatches Shahil Momin for four consecutive fours, and stands there dismissively, as if to say 'you can't bowl that at me'.

    A total of 18 runs from the over, and Munsey moves to 68 from 28 balls.

  9. 6 runs

    Postpublished at 5 overs

    Scotland 70-0 v Austria

    Oli Hairs had been starved of the strike somewhat before this over, but gets a look at Jaweed Sadran, and tucks in.

    The first ball he faces races to the cover boundary, a mistimed pull shot goes away for four more, and then a monstrous six over the leg-side continues the flow of runs.

  10. 50 runs

    for George Munseypublished at 4.1 overs

    Scotland 54-0 v Austria

    A single to mid-off bring up George Munsey's half-century off just 22 balls.

    He's matching Oli Hairs' knock from yesterday so far.

  11. Postpublished at 4 overs

    Scotland 53-0 v Austria

    A couple of wides fly down the leg-side, before George Munsey whips another boundary behind square on the leg-side.

    Scotland are rocketing along.

  12. 6 runs

    Scotland 47-0 v Austria

    Four, four, six from the bat of George Munsey, who moves to 45 from just 20 balls.

    This ground doesn't look big enough at the moment.

  13. Postpublished at 3 overs

    Scotland 32-0 v Austria

    A slightly more sedate over goes for just six runs.

    Austria will be chuffed with that.

    This could get messy.

    Scotland are currently on course for a total of 260 in their 20 overs.

    Scotland 25-0 v Austria

    First six of the day, as George Munsey flicks Sahel Zadran nonchalantly over midwicket.

    His record for Scotland's fastest hundred fell yesterday, and he was slightly miffed methinks...

  16. Postpublished at 1 over

    Scotland 15-0 v Austria

    Another reverse-sweep brings a couple more, before George Munsey nabs a quick single from, you guessed it, a reverse sweep.

  17. Postpublished at 0.4 overs

    Scotland 12-0 v Austria

    There's a massive shout for lbw first ball from Amit Nathwani, who thinks he's pinned George Munsey, but I think that probably pitched outside leg-stump.

    The next three deliveries spin straight onto the middle of Munsey's bat though, and go away to the point boundary.

    Three reverse-sweeps in your first four balls - easy work.

    George Munsey and Oli Hairs are striding purposefully to the middle for Scotland.

    We're just about to get under way...

  20. Scotland's perfect startpublished at 10:26 British Summer Time 25 July 2023

    Scotland v Austria (10:30 BST)

    It's been a thoroughly impressive, and thoroughly professional start to this qualifying tournament from Richie Berrington's men.

    Oli Hairs starred with the bat as they got under way with a straightforward win over Germany in a rain-hit game.

    They weren't at their best against a well-drilled Jersey outfit, but Mark Watt shone with bat and ball to get the host nation over the line.

    And then yesterday, Hairs hit new heights, smashing Scotland's fastest ever hundred, off just 40 balls, and smashing Italy's bowlers to all parts of The Grange, before Gavin Main's five-fer helped bowl Greth Berg's side out for just 90.
