- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.2 got him, the danger man is gone. Full on off stump, and it was probably there for the big hit, but he simply doesn't get hold of it. He clears his front leg and is probably looking to hit over mid-on, and he ends up hitting a flat, low catch to the fielder, who does well to dive forward and take it with both hands 27/22.3 bowled him. Another offcutter, and Coetzer looks to drive it through the covers. No footwork there. It came in a little off the pitch, but it didn't go between bat and pad. Coetzer was early on his shot, and it ended up beating the outside edge and hitting off stump 13/16.6 big appeal, and that's surely out. Yup, no hesitation from Rod Tucker, and Matt Cross consults with his partner and reviews. More out of hope than belief, I think. Struck on the back pad, and it was straightening towards the stumps. On the shorter side of a length, straightening just a touch after pitching on off stump, and it skids through quicker than Cross expects, and perhaps a touch lower too. Sneaks past the inside edge as he looks to work it into the leg side, and it smacks his back knee roll. Hitting middle and leg, says ball-tracking, and Scotland are four down 29/46.3 got him, Berrington played completely down the wrong line there. Jadeja's previous two balls just kept going with the angle, and Berrington probably played for that as he angled a good-length ball in and pitched it on around middle and off. Comes forward to defend, looking for the slider, and it just holds its line to beat his outside edge and hit middle stump. Not the best look for a batter, because that didn't turn all that much 28/316.1 rattles off stump via the pad. This is full and fast and straight. Just shy of 140kph. MacLeod plants the front leg down and looks to flick, but he's not quick enough in bringing the bat down 81/711.2 that is plumb. Good length, sliding on with the arm and tight at the stumps. He gets down for the sweep but isn't quick enough to sort out his swish across that. Cops that on the back thigh right in front of the stumps 58/513.4 taken at long-off. Another carrom ball, but this one tossed up at a length outside off. Makes him step out, draws him in, then beats him in flight. His body's already at a stop as he stretches the hands to try and go long. Can't get anything on it and Pandya takes it some 15 yards inside 63/617.4 tonks leg stump on the half-volley. Watt jumps into the off side, a long long way, in an attempt to try and scoop this over short fine. This is full and fast and too much for him 85/1016.2 Kishan jogs to the stumps and clips the bails off. It's a leg-stump yorker that he's looked to flick. Sharif can't get bat on it and India are appealing for lbw as he runs down the pitch. He's sent back but can't turn around fast enough after his sprint and just gives up. Kishan is alive to the possibility, he runs in from midwicket and picks up one-handed before completing the run-out with Sharif not in the picture 81/816.3 hits leg stump! What an absolute peach this is. The perfect yorker, landing on the crease at a leg stump line, and through Evan before he can get the bat down at it 81/9Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL85 all out (17.4 Overs, RR: 4.81)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Kyle Coetzer, 2.3 ov), 2-27 (George Munsey, 5.2 ov), 3-28 (Richie Berrington, 6.3 ov), 4-29 (Matthew Cross, 6.6 ov), 5-58 (Michael Leask, 11.2 ov), 6-63 (Chris Greaves, 13.4 ov), 7-81 (Calum MacLeod, 16.1 ov), 8-81 (Safyaan Sharif, 16.2 ov), 9-81 (Alasdair Evans, 16.3 ov), 10-85 (Mark Watt, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.6 he's found long-on! This looked like it had gone further than it did. Tossed up again and gets a lot of dip on this. At leg stump. Rahul stretches his arms and looks to finish the game by launching this over the fielder. It comes off the inside part of the toe end and is taken easily 82/24.6 big appeal, and it's given! That came out of nowhere! Yorker homing in towards the stumps, and Rohit, already deep in his crease with his back foot, probably looking for something he can hit over the leg side, is caught unawares, and is struck on the full on the right foot. Right in front of off stump. Rohit doesn't bother reviewing, it just looked too plumb 70/1Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL89/2 (6.3 Overs, RR: 13.69)Fall of wickets: 1-70 (Rohit Sharma, 4.6 ov), 2-82 (KL Rahul, 5.6 ov)
