- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 good ball again, poor shot again. Just a bit of away shape once more but on off this time, Irfan tries to swipe it over midwicket but gets a leading edge which is easily accepted at cover 23/30.4 this time gone. Poor shot from Atkinson. A repeat of the third ball. Short and wide, and he goes to pull it over the leg side again, but is hurried on the shot once more and hits it in the air over the bowler, where mid-on runs around and takes an easy catch. 3/12.2 another wicket. Nizakat gives himself room and tries to belt it through the off side, but it takes the edge and an easy catch for the keeper. Not a great start from HK 21/27.5 huge wicket for Scotland. Fuller delivery on middle and leg, Chapman tries to tickle it towards the leg side again but just misses a straight ball. Massive wicket for Scotland just when Chapman was looking good 51/412.2 the pressure has resulted in the wicket. Short and wide, just needs to get enough bat on it, but doesn't get it. Tries to play it down to third man and gets a thick edge. Another easy catch. 61/512.4 plumb in front. Full and straight and misses the flick. Another wicket for Scotland. Too full and it is hurries on to him, and he is late on the flick. Out from all angles. 62/617.4 out this time. Not a bad shot to play with third man up but not enough pace on it. The bowler bangs it in short with no pace, Aizaz can only ramp it straight to third man. Big wicket, just when Hong Kong were looking for a big finish 99/816.2 short delivery and another wicket for Evans - his 14th of the tournament. He bangs it in aiming for the badge, Afzal stays on the back foot and flat-bats it in the air but picks out deep midwicket. Straight down his throat, didn't even have to move. 86/718.4 bowled 'em. Haseeb walks across his stumps and tries to find the fine leg boundary but moves too far. You can't miss those. The middle stump is knocked down. 103/919.4 another short ball, another slower short ball in fact. Nadeem is quick on the pull and ends up top-edging it which results in an easy catch for short fine leg. Hong Kong fail to play out their 20 overs. 116/10Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL116 all out (19.4 Overs, RR: 5.89)Fall of wickets: 1-3 (Jamie Atkinson, 0.4 ov), 2-21 (Nizakat Khan, 2.2 ov), 3-23 (Irfan Ahmed, 3.3 ov), 4-51 (Mark Chapman, 7.5 ov), 5-61 (Babar Hayat, 12.2 ov), 6-62 (Anshy Rath, 12.4 ov), 7-86 (Tanwir Afzal, 16.2 ov), 8-99 (Aizaz Khan, 17.4 ov), 9-103 (Haseeb Amjad, 18.4 ov), 10-116 (Nadeem Ahmed, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 out this time. Just a tad fuller from Irfan's previous deliveries, Coetzer smashes it off the front foot but straight at midwicket. Good, sharp catch taken by Rath there. 72/31.5 wicket this time. No swing and MacLeod gets forward and tries to block, but gets a huge inside edge which rattles the stumps. Important wicket for HK. 16/15.5 gone this time. Fuller and wide outside off again, Cross looks to clear the infield again but doesn't. He throws his hands at it and hits it in the air and straight to cover point. Respite for HK but maybe, a bit too late. 68/28.5 edged and gone. Another wicket for Irfan. A bit of away seam movement, Berrington looks to hoick it over midwicket but the movement helps take a thin edge. Easy catch for Atkinson. 83/411.3 another wicket for HK. But all a bit too little, too late. Short ball down leg and Mommsen goes for the pull and gets a thick edge which is easily taken by the keeper 111/5Extras3 (lb 1, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL117/5 (12.2 Overs, RR: 9.48)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Calum MacLeod, 1.5 ov), 2-68 (Matthew Cross, 5.5 ov), 3-72 (Kyle Coetzer, 6.4 ov), 4-83 (Richie Berrington, 8.5 ov), 5-111 (Preston Mommsen, 11.3 ov)
