Electing to field first, England tasted early success with Jofa Archer on target. In a superb opening spell, the English pacer claimed 2/13 in his three overs. Though they have been ticking at a good run rate, Scotland have lost a wicket too many as they closed out powerplay at 42/3.
Scotland clawed their way back with a 71-run partnership between captain Richie Berrington (49) and Tom Bruce (24) for the fourth wicket. However, the two batters departed within the space of four balls, sending their team into a downward spiral. Scotland slipped from 113/4 to 127/8.
It was the English spinners that engineered the middle order collapse. Liam Dawson (2/34) and Adil Rashid (3/36) were taken for some runs by Berrington and Bruce early on, but returned to haunt the Scots. While Dawson broke the partnership by packing off Bruce, Rashid trapped Berrington leg before wicket one run short of 50.
