England v Scotland abandoned after heavy rain: T20 Cricket World Cup – as it happened
Cricket Delayed by Rain’ may be the most British sentence I’ve ever read.”
Wait until Orkney v Shetland at the 2030 World Cup.
Ireland’s win over England at the last World Cup.went ballistic against New Zealand in 2003.
Jones is playing superbly here. He makes it 14 from three balls with successive boundaries through the covers and midwicket. That completes a terrific Powerplay for Scotland.
“Netherlands v Nepal (clash of my cousins) is delayed too but should start at 5pm UK time,” writes Romeo. “One surprise (to me) is that Sagar Dhakal has been selected for Nepal rather than the more experienced SLA Lalit Rajbanshi.”
5th over: Scotland 34-0 (Munsey 17, Jones 13) Wood has an LBW appeal against Munsey turned down. It was a sharp delivery, just over 94mph, but it was missing leg.
Oh dear, Wood has taken a wicket off a no-ball. Munsey slogged the ball miles in the air and was taken by Buttler, running back towards the boundary, but England soon heard the siren of doom.
Munsey misses the resulting free hit, with the ball keeping very low. If Scotland get 140 here…
4th over: Scotland 28-0 (Munsey 14, Jones 13) A tighter second over from Archer, both in line and runs conceded. Jones is beaten by a good off-cutter and hit on the glove (I think) by a beautiful bouncer.
