DRINKS BREAK! Three wickets in the Powerplay for England and they will be pleased with the progress they have made so far. On a surface offering good pace and bounce, Scotland have been tested by the short-ball, particularly from Jofra Archer. With the batters getting good value for their shots, it was crucial for Scotland to get off to a solid start and build a platform through the middle overs. However, three wickets down, they now have the task of rebuilding and steadying the innings. Tom Bruce joins the skipper, Richie Berrington, out in the middle.

End of an intent-laden inning from Michael Jones.
