5:34pm Strong finish from Scotland, who scored 38 off the last four overs. Here's Munsey, the star of the first half: "Frustrated to be honest. Before the rain came, I felt good and we worked together well. Sitting off for 20 minutes is never ideal, got a bit stiff. They got a chance to work out the conditions and re-work their plans."
Scotland were off to a breezy start, moving to 54 inside the first powerplay before rain interrupted their flow. It led to them only scoring 16 in their next four overs and they continued to lose wickets through the middle. But Munsey kept going through - even if not as fluent as he was at the start - and held one end up, enabling Scotland to finish with a total they should be confident of defending. He failed to find the ropes between overs five and 19 before hitting three in the last over. Will there be yet another upset today? Let Sreshth know of your thoughts as he kicks off the chase.
Madhav: "The best bowler Holder bowling only 3 overs..Oh captain what have you done !!!"

Imran: "I can sense another upset here"
Last over, ESPNcricinfo forecaster says 155. What do you think?

And now the routine check for concussion because that went flush off the helmet.
Craig: "If Pooran planned not bowl Holder or Smith their full quota then why did he give Hosein that extra over in the middle. Would have made more sense to have allowed Smith or Holder to bowl out." That was a bid to change the pace, since the pacers were being taken for runs.
