BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB

0.4 to JJ Atkinson, 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.. 3/1
2.2 to Nizakat Khan, 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. 21/2
16.2 to Tanwir Afzal, 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.. 86/7
3.4040110.9063200
19.4 to Nadeem Ahmed, 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.. 116/10
402937.25113100
3.3 to Irfan Ahmed, 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. 23/3
7.5 to MS Chapman, 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. 51/4
17.4 to Aizaz Khan, 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. 99/8
401734.25131000
12.2 to Babar Hayat, 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.. 61/5
12.4 to Anshuman Rath, 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.. 62/6
18.4 to Haseeb Amjad, 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.. 103/9

5.5 to MH Cross, 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.. 68/2

1.5 to CS MacLeod, 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.. 16/1

6.4 to KJ Coetzer, 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.. 72/3
8.5 to RD Berrington, 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.. 83/4
302016.6672010
11.3 to PL Mommsen, 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. 111/5
