Tim Southee to Matthew Cross, Around off on a length, it lands and shapes away this time, Matthew Cross looks to push this through the off side but the ball evades his blade, to the keeper. An appeal for caught behind by Southee but no one else joins him in support and the umpire does not move too. 

DRINKS! 97 runs needed in 60 balls. This game is beautifully set up for a thriller as Scotland are keeping up with the required run rate. New Zealand though will look for wickets at quick intervals. Their spinners will play a key role in this middle phase. Tim Southee is back into the attack.
