00:03.
00:11Wonderful Kolkata venue for this Group C clash between England and Scotland.
00:20The sides arrived early. England in the sun looks great. They've not had much sun back home recently.
00:27And Scotland always looks great. Big day of sport between these two nations.
00:34It starts with the cricket. Scotland having beaten Italy in their last game.
00:39England having lost to the West Indies. There is a lot on this game.
00:43Joss Butler, 150th T20 international for him.
00:47Murray Morgan presented him with the cap. And England won the toss and elected to field first.
00:56Scotland line up there unchanged and no surprise there because they played a lot of good cricket against Italy.
01:01Yeah, no surprise. And I think they'll be absolutely delighted that they are batting first here on a ground that
01:07they've now played at.
01:07This will be their third game of the tournament. Munzee and Jones have been in brilliant form.
01:12126 run partnership in the last game. McMullen too. He looked in great touch.
01:17England also unchanged. They named their side yesterday.
01:20Bit of debate about whether it should be Banton and Brook or Brook and Banton.
01:23They're going to stick with Brook at five. And as I said...
01:30And these two have been in fine form, Munzee and Jones. And it was these two at the top of
01:35the order.
01:49Let's play.
02:03Clipped in the air, but beautifully timed behind the first boundary for Munzee and Scotland.
02:13A little bit of a hack leg side, but he got enough of it and the outfield does the rest.
02:22I think this is a good indication of how good the surface is here.
02:26Works with a bat nicely for Michael Jones and he just works across the ball towards that leg side area.
02:34Again, this outfield is lightning quick.
02:43Pulled. And pulled away behind square for another boundary.
02:49Straight up in the air. This should be taken mid-wicket and mid-on.
02:53And it's mid-wicket.
02:57Tom Banton.
02:59And Scotland lose their first wicket and it is a big one.
03:04Oh, it's the key man for Scotland, George Munzee.
03:07Archer goes short into the surface.
03:11He knows as soon as he hits it, just find the top edge.
03:17Tom Banton, he wanted it and he takes it.
03:21Scotland lose their first wicket.
03:23George Munzee goes for four.
03:25Scotland 18 for one.
03:29Brandon McMullen comes in at number three.
03:32Another exciting talent.
03:36That one's in the air and it looks like it's straight to the man in the deep.
03:40It is.
03:41Two in three deliveries.
03:4350 T20 international wickets for him now.
03:45And it's the short pitch, bowling again, that does it for Scotland.
03:52Hard lengths into the surface.
03:55Brandon McMullen goes up rather than down and he pays the price.
04:00Phil Salt makes no mistake on the boundary.
04:03Brandon McMullen goes without troubling the scorers.
04:06Scotland 18 for two.
04:08Two wickets in three balls brings the Scotland captain to the crease, Richie Barrington.
04:18That will get on those practice pitches and just hurry away.
04:22Sam Corrin now.
04:28Greeted with a flaying boundary.
04:33Top edge flies over Butler.
04:38So Corrin under pressure.
04:414-4-6, Michael Jones on the charge.
04:47Up it goes.
04:50Should be a third and yes, Jacob Bethel out in the deep.
04:56Another slower ball from Sam Corrin.
04:59His second of the overs continue to mix it up off the middle of the surface.
05:05Jones not getting anywhere near the middle of his back.
05:09Expensive over so far.
05:11Fifth ball takes a wicket.
05:14Jones goes for 33.
05:16Scotland 42 for three.
05:20Tom Bruce in at number five.
05:26Swept it fine.
05:27It was very straight.
05:29But it's perfectly placed.
05:31Corrin outing the beat has to run to his right and it beat Archer.
05:38Two for 16 against West Indies.
05:40Right back to his best.
05:41Sliding that one down the leg side and punished for four.
05:48Floated up.
05:49And hammered down the ground.
05:51Brilliant batting.
05:56Down the ground again.
05:57That is a fantastic shot.
06:04This time goes across the crease and gets it to the ground.
06:04Flat batted down the ground with real power.
06:10Swept fine, four more.
06:16Just like that.
06:17And that has been absolutely spanned into the ground.
06:22That's a fantastic shot.
06:26This time goes across the crease and gets it leg side.
06:30Straight into the hands of Sam Curran.
06:34One thing Scotland have done in this innings.
06:37They have found fielders in the deep.
06:39Curran hardly had to move.
06:41Gets the wicket of Bruce.
06:43Breaks the partnership.
06:441.13 for four.
06:49Well he's a powerful hitter Michael Leisk and he'll want to keep the foot down.
06:53The Scotland are going to need a few.
06:54This is an excellent surface.
06:56But it's to Barrington not Leisk.
06:58He's on 49.
06:59Close.
07:00If he's no bat involved gone.
07:01Does he review?
07:03He'd know if he'd hit it surely he's going to have a go.
07:06He has to.
07:06I have a player review for LBW.
07:09Original decision is out.
07:11Check the feet.
07:12It's a fair delivery.
07:14I'm looking at split screen.
07:17Clear gap on the right hand side.
07:19Plus a flat line satisfied.
07:21There is no bat involved.
07:22We can go through to ball tracker when ready.
07:27Pitching in line.
07:28Impact in line.
07:30And wickets is umpire's call.
07:31You'll have the umpire back on the screen.
07:34Please Pally.
07:34Stay with your original decision of out.
07:36Signal now.
07:40He has been dismissed LBW by very small margin onto leg stump for 49.
07:451.15 for five.
07:47He departs.
07:50Here in Kolkata Matthew Cross has made his way to the crease.
07:58Wonderful struck and placed.
08:04Top edge over the head of Archer.
08:06Has it carried all the way?
08:08Curran.
08:09Yes.
08:10Six down Scotland.
08:12The bounce for the spinner as well.
08:14Which makes the sweep slightly dangerous because it brings the top edge into play.
08:19Curran looking into the sun.
08:21Shades on his cap.
08:241.24 for six.
08:301.24 for six.
08:371.24 for six.
08:38Of course another one.
08:42Tom Denton in the deep and it's the sweep shot again.
08:47When Scotland have done that, they've had decent significant reward.
08:51But every time they've looked to sweep and they've picked out men in the deep.
08:57It's incredible really the number of catches that have gone to the deep square fielders.
09:03And that they haven't had to move.
09:07So it's another wicket.
09:08Harry Brook can be pretty happy with the way things are going for England right now.
09:12Scotland 1.26 for seven.
09:14Roscombe for eight.
09:17Oliver Davidson in at nine.
09:22Beautiful from Adil Rashid.
09:27He's kept the batters honest all afternoon.
09:30Changes of pace, flight.
09:33It's the classical leg spinner that does for Mark Watt.
09:36Through the gates.
09:38Mark Watt goes for two.
09:40Scotland 127 for eight.
09:42The next two.
09:45The first two.
09:47Throughout the innings.
09:49They had a swung away powerfully over the leg side.
09:53Scotland need that.
09:54They need a lot more of it.
09:59Yeah, he managed to get it away.
10:01It was a cut up really bold into the surface by Colin.
10:08Neatly done, very neatly done.
10:13Curran going for the York and again Davidson gets it away over short third man.
10:23Done, Wiljax at long on, so Bradwheel goes, Scotland nine down.
10:31Not intelligent batting yet, just wants to get the single,
10:35get the Davidson on to strike, he's hitting them so well.
10:41To find out Jack's on the boundary.
10:45Scotland now 148 for nine, Bradwheel goes for two.
10:58Confusion should be the end of the innings, yes.
11:01It is the end of the innings.
11:03There's confusion there whether to go for that one,
11:06whether to keep Davidson on strike.
11:10Fairly certainly short of his ground, yeah.
11:12That has been given out, we're not even going to a replay.
11:16So the Scotland innings has come to a close.
11:20Golled out in 19.4 overs.
11:23Another look at the run out, the throw was flat and hard from Brook.
11:28A perfect height for Booker just to nip off the bales.
11:34A good performance from England, Scotland end at 152.
11:40Munsey and McMullen, both threats at the top of the order,
11:44fell cheaply.
11:45Jones played nicely for 33.
11:47The partnership, significant one between Barrington and Bruce,
11:51but once they departed there wasn't much until Davidson.
11:59Preston would have been, what would have been said in that Scotland dressing room
12:02at the halfway stage.
12:05Positivity, they know they need wickets.
12:07Early wickets in the power play,
12:09and it looks like they're going to go to Brandon McBally.
12:16Does it get through?
12:17It's a half a stop and they should come back.
12:20No, yeah, they do come back for a couple.
12:26That's it!
12:27In the air and gone.
12:29Early breakthrough needed, early breakthrough delivered
12:32from McMullen and Salt goes for two.
12:37Well Scotland needed early wickets and Brandon McMullen has delivered.
12:42It's a soft dismissal, it has to be said.
12:45Chips it to Tom Bruce at cover.
12:49Very dangerous Phil Salt goes for two.
12:53England two for one.
12:55Jacob Bethel comes in.
12:57Number three England have lost an early wicket.
13:01Oh!
13:03It's going to be given as wide,
13:06five wide down the leg side.
13:13There's a late swing here that does for Matthew Cross, unsighted.
13:19Just misses out on that.
13:21Scotland were very, very good against Italy and West Indies,
13:25taking all their captures in the field.
13:28They're going to need to be on it tonight.
13:32That's it!
13:32In the air, didn't sound great off the bat.
13:35Mid-off turns, brilliant grab.
13:38McMullen has taken a wicket with the ball
13:40and that is an outstanding catch.
13:43One of the hardest in the game.
13:46Absolutely brilliant.
13:50It's full from Curry.
13:52There's a bit of shape again.
13:55Butler looks to go over them at all.
13:58McMullen turned immediately and sprinted back.
14:02Gave himself a brilliant chance and took it cleanly.
14:06And what a wicket that is for Scotland.
14:10Butler goes for three, England 13 for two.
14:17Short, that will release the pressure.
14:20I think it's gone all the way.
14:22First boundary of the run chase.
14:27Rocks back onto the back foot,
14:29just too short for McMullen on this occasion.
14:33Bethel is on to that inner flash.
14:37As I said earlier,
14:38he can't be short at his pace.
14:46Nicely played.
14:47Beautifully played.
14:51What Brandon McMullen gives him here.
14:54Finding the gap.
14:56Short third man.
14:58All about the placement and the touch.
15:04Bantam.
15:04It could be another one.
15:06It is six.
15:07Four, four for Bethel.
15:10Pressure just being transferred here.
15:12And he's giving us the full array.
15:14A little bit too much width.
15:15On this occasion.
15:18Bethel rocks into that one.
15:19Placing it.
15:21Beautifully passed points.
15:27Heaves it leg side.
15:28It's pretty ugly.
15:30But it's effective.
15:31Bantam takes his first boundary off the Scottish bowlers.
15:34England's batting line-up.
15:36And seconded a finger spin off the West Indies.
15:39At the rancheri.
15:41Was the lack of aggression.
15:42So Mark Watt with his left arm orthodox down the ground from Bantam.
15:50Nailed it.
15:53True aggression.
15:56Attempted it against Visk in the previous over of spin.
16:01This occasion.
16:03Watt knows straight away.
16:04Right in the slot.
16:05All the way for six.
16:10Does it again.
16:11Stands and admires it again.
16:1450 partnership.
16:16Comes up in some style.
16:20Stands tall at the crease.
16:22Goes leg down the wicket.
16:23Just needs to go through the line of the ball.
16:32Short.
16:33Pulled away.
16:33Pulled away.
16:34High, wide.
16:35And Hanson.
16:36The third six of the over.
16:38This occasion straight.
16:41Gonna tuck Tom Bantam up.
16:42Picks the leg fairly.
16:43Gets into position.
16:46Contact is very, very good.
16:50How much is that for the ball of Bantam under running?
16:53Yeah, here I think he is.
16:55It's the benefit of having a positive aggressive mindset.
17:03Helped straight round the corner and straight to short fine leg.
17:07Not the grace's delivery.
17:09He won't care.
17:10Scotland won't care.
17:11Bethel can't believe it.
17:14Davidson who bowls with good pace.
17:16He bowls flat and fast.
17:17Bethel trying to ride it down on one knee.
17:20Risk is trying to get it over that man of 45.
17:23It catches.
17:25High on the bat.
17:28Easy catch.
17:30From Brad Wheel.
17:31Scotland get their third.
17:33And it's a big one of Jacob Bethel.
17:35He goes for 32 England.
17:3879 for three.
17:42So it is England's captain in at five.
17:50The sweep is a problem.
17:52It is a real problem.
17:54What a wicked this is.
17:57The door is opening.
17:58You just feel.
18:02Again, the sweep shot.
18:04The cross battered shot.
18:05Looking to lift it over short fine leg.
18:08But Brad Wheel takes the running catch.
18:13England now 86 for four.
18:16Harry Brook goes for four.
18:18Current got runs against West Indies.
18:20Was left stranded and has got work to do here.
18:27Good shot from Tom Banton.
18:30Just reading the length.
18:32Quickly.
18:33It was short.
18:36Yeah, this is all about the placement.
18:38Rocks right back and plays it as late as possible.
18:42So that he can beat that diving man at short extra cover.
18:49Here.
18:56Here they go.
18:59Here we go.
19:00Here we go.
19:12today we improve.
19:15scrutiny and pressure after two single-figure scores in the opening two games he's held his
19:21nerve nicely tonight he's gone going with those consecutive sixes of mark want and he now has his
19:28fourth half century in t20 internationals pulled by current good batting slightly short and he was
19:40quickly onto it deep into his crease hammering that away over the mid-wicket boundary
19:47it's a powerful strike from sam curran low in a stance they're waiting for michael leece to drop it
19:54short and they've gone after him in his second over as well this time it's sam curran all the way
20:04for
20:04six exactly what you want to see that nature the england batter is in this middle phase against
20:13fingerspin very aggressive it was bantan earlier now sam curran
20:20it's hard hit very hard field will do well they won't get there
20:27in the last game against the west indies west indies were allowed to bowl fingerspin
20:3412 bulbers for england a lot of wickets for just 90 odd runs not so today
20:43straight up in the air keeper says mine
20:49and he takes the catch wheel has been impressive this evening
20:54he's kept things very very simple makes the question where is he being two overs on the truck
21:01just conceding eight hammering away and a good line a good length
21:07yet again it has worked sam curran continuing to be aggressive
21:14understandably has to go for 28 off just 20 deliveries england 132 for five
21:23will jacks comes in at number seven
21:27full toss belted straight back past the bowler bantan has fancied a bit of what tonight he has gone after
21:34it
21:38well absolutely smashed this
21:42wouldn't have tried to turn it at all what and to previously put him on the
21:52slower ball has been dispatched way over long on for six
22:00the moment he came to the crease just itching to get the ball away it's the first
22:04time brad wheel has gone away from a good line a good leg that is the biggest
22:10in this match and that is saying something power down the ground from jacks and england are within a couple
22:21short pulled to the deep and that will do nicely for england back to winning waves with 10 balls to
22:29spare
22:29and five wickets in hand england moved to second in the group a win in colcutta against scotland
22:40england and harry brooke won the toss
22:42he said we will have a bowl we fancy a chase and scotland lost some early wickets in the power
22:49play
22:49and then their skipper played really nice barrington falling one short of a half century and in the run
22:56chase 155 for five davidson curry mullen and wheel really good with the ball but the standout batter
