Match Centre

They're coming off for rain, with Scotland well in control. The west looks bright, so I anticipate some more play today. Match State: Delay - Rain stopped play It's actually raining quite hard now, and with Scotland so far ahead, this is pretty wrapped up. The umpires are outside, and it's not actually raining. The west is a bit brighter, and we might actually finish this game. However the umpires are still on the pavilion steps, and haven't yet left. Match State: Delay - Rain stopped play 5:20pm: Covers are still on, and the groundsman is chatting with the Scotland coaches, and everyone seems to be laughing. But hang on, here come the umpires... 5:20pm: The umpires are going to have another look at half past, but you'd think that if it doesn't rain again then we may have a revised target. Whatever it is though, it will be a huge ask for the Netherlands. The covers are still on as well. That's it! Scotland win by 145 runs, albeit in a slightly curtailed fashion. Calum MacLeod's hundred was spectacular, and Scotland's bowling was aggressive from the start. Gavin Main bowled with serious pace, and at only 19, could do a lot of damage.
