4.05pm Josh Inglis' 49-ball 103 saw Australia overcome the challenge of losing Travis Head and JFM early and get to a score they will feel confident of defending. Inglis brought out all the stops, showing off scoops and reverse-scoops and using some excellent footwork as he motored along. Currie, with three wickets, was the best bowler for Scotland, while Chris Sole did well to give away just 17 runs in his three overs. Join Karthik in just a bit for the start of Scotland's chase.

Callum : "@michael Wheals the front line bowler, McMullen only bowls up front really. real question is why they didn't get sole into the attack earlier"

Sole to Inglis, OUT, Straight to cover! This is dug in short, pace off, and Inglis has to try and manufacture the power as he looks to slap it away in front. He can't get enough on it to clear Berrington at cover, who takes the simplest of catches. That's a magnificent innings brought to an end by a bowler who has done a terrific job today!

Currie to Inglis, SIX, Inglis is putting on a show! This is a leg-stump half-volley and he plays a gorgeous pick-up flick behind square leg. That's gone into the stands as Inglis moves to within one hit of a century
