He hit Rashid for two fours and a six in his second over and was the aggressor in a partnership of 71 with Tom Bruce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">At 113-3 in the 13th over, 190 was Scotland&#8217;s target. Instead, the wicket of Bruce resulted in the innings sliding away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He slog-swept Liam Dawson to deep square leg for 24 &#8211; one of six batters to wastefully pick out fielders in the deep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In the next over Rashid pinned the sweeping Berrington in front as England&#8217;s leg-spinner, having gone wicketless for 26 runs in his first two overs, took 3-10 in his second spell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Dawson, who took 2-34, added the wicket of Michael Leask, also caught in the deep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Scotland&#8217;s collapse 5-14 in 3.3 overs ultimately denied them the 30 runs that could have kept them alive in this tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Though Scotland&#8217;s score always looked 20 runs below par, England were troubled at one stage.
