3:18pm So, Scotland have scraped their way to 109. The Bryce sisters did the bulk of the scoring, with Sarah managing 27 and Kathryn notching up 33. Horley and Lister also got starts but were unable to cash in, with Horley, in particular, struggling during the powerplay. Apart from the individual numbers, there was a collective lack of tempo and despite being just one down at the drinks interval, Scotland could not cash in, often losing wickets whenever they tried to up the ante.

Another accomplished bowling display by England. Ecclestone was again miserly, giving away only 13 runs and picking up two wickets. Glenn was the only bowler to not be among the wickets and that sums up how controlled and coherent their bowling performance was. They will be pretty confident of chasing this down and if they can get ahead of the game early, they might even look at certain NRR calculations. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!

Kathryn Bryce: Just tried to enjoy out there. Seems like a pretty good track. Wanted to access the boundaries and rotate strike. Gives us something to go out and defend with the ball. Real excitement for today, knowing it is our last game. Just wanted to enjoy this last game. It has been fantastic. Steep learning curve for a lot of girls but nice to have that experience under the belt. There was not a huge amount of spin, pretty good wicket and we have to bowl as straight as possible.

Bell to Fraser, 1 run, gets a hand to it, and Scotland's innings finishes with a single! Very slow, perhaps the slowest of the lot this over. Lands in the slot outside off and Fraser smashes it back at Bell, who, as a reflex action, gets her right hand to it. Finger-tip stuff, though, and the ball is retrieved by long on!

Bell to Fraser, 2 runs, slower delivery into the track on off stump. Fraser waits for it and hoicks it towards deep backward square leg, where Dean misfields and ends up conceding the second

Bell to Fraser, no run, another off-pace delivery, on a length outside off. Fraser tries to smash it into next week and only connects with fresh air

Just three off the over so far. Can Fraser find the fence?

Bell to McColl, 2 runs, loopy low full toss on middle and off. McColl decides a week early she wants to play the lap and gets some bat on it, helping it past short fine leg for a brace

Nat Sciver-Brunt to Fraser, 4 byes, oh dear - that has hit the stumps but the bails have not fallen off! And to compound England's woes, that has trickled away to the fence! Slower ball on a full length on middle and leg. Fraser has an airy whoosh at it and misses. The ball clips the outside of leg stump but the bails remain in their groove. The ball ultimately hits the fine leg fence, and England cannot believe what has just happened...

Ecclestone to Carter, OUT, straight down Bouchier's throat at deep mid wicket! Dangles the carrot outside off and Carter bites. Plants her front foot and swings for the hills. Gets decent purchase on it but not enough to clear the bigger boundary and Bouchier. She settles under it and makes no mistake. Scotland keep losing wickets!

Dean to KE Bryce, OUT, does her all ends up, and Kathryn bites the dust! Slowed up beautifully on a length just outside off. Plenty of revs on this and the ball dips late on Kathryn, meaning that she, looking for the reverse, is not to the pitch of the ball. Continues with the stroke, hoping to connect but watches in disbelief as the ball spins past her bat and crashes into leg stump. A massive blow to Scotland's hopes of getting to 120!
