Scotland openers, Theo Robinson and Thomas Knight, made a steady start with a 38-run stand. However, Robinson’s dismissal led to a collapse. English bowlers kept striking at regular intervals and had Scotland reduced to 87 for 7 by the 27th over. In the company of Finlay Carter, the lower order put in a bit of a resistance, but they were never threatening to chase down England’s total. Falconer was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets.
