    2.4 He's gone! Shorter ball catches him off balance and it clips the top of the bails. Scotland in trouble now... 12/2
    0.4 oh dear, he's pitched it up and Watson tries to defend up high and its nicks off his bat and down on to the stumps...not been a good couple of days for the captain. 1/1

    18.5 He's gone! He went to try and angle another one down to third man and doesn't get all of it before playing it on to his stumps. That's a long walk back to the pavillion in the rain 66/5
    11.1 he tries to flick it away to the leg side and a slight edge takes it through to McCullum who takes a good diving catch to his right 34/3
    15.4 tries to pull it away and only find a small edge and McCullum takes another good catch this time to his left 54/4
    21.4 And another one. This time he leans forward to block. There was a nick from a bat in there somewhere but the umpire judges it to be bat first and sends him walking 68/6
    24.1 Great ball there and this one's alot more plum than the last, he can't flick it off his legs fast again and he has to go 75/7
    31.1 Blain goes down on one knee to sweep it down to third man and doesn't connect. It clatters his pad and the umpire lifts the finger 87/9
    24.2 Gone for a golden duck. He tries to defend at it carries through to McCullum's gloves and he spent longer walking to the crease than the time he stayed there 75/8
