The captains have shaken hands, and that is a winning draw for Scotland, in a heavily rain-affected encounter. And in the end it was all over rather quickly. Samiullah Shenwari made an excellent show of things, with his leg spin and an unbeaten fifty in battling circumstances, but Preston Mommsen's 77 swung the game. It's been a pleasure to commentate on rain breaks. I've been James Gray, and I'll be back for the T20 qualifiers in July. See you all then.

Berrington to Sayed Shirzad, OUT, huge appeal and it's given! Hint of bat involved, but Scotland claim the six point bonus and by the looks of things that will be the end of proceedings.
