SCO vs NZ Live Cricket Score

8.5 OUT! CAUGHT! The Scotland skipper strikes and gets rid of dangerous Martin Guptill! Richie Berrington lands it a tad short on off. However, Guptill tries to heave it off the front foot. Maybe it would have been better of he had played it off the backfoot. The bounce and the length meant that the ball catches the top edge of Guptill's blade. The ball goes in the air towards the leg side and Cross moves a bit forward to take a fine catch. 85/1

17.3 OUT! STUMPED! Watt gets rid of Allen and that is an end to a brilliant knock from Finn Allen! Watt bowls this cleverly as he sees Allen dancing down the track.

Cross collects the ball behind the stumps and whips the bails off as Allen is out of the crease. 175/3
