Orla Prendergast to Priyanaz Chatterji. Back of a length, outside off stump moves in front reverse sweeping, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to third slip for 1 run, fielded by Hunter. Scotland will be delighted with the total they have posted after being sent in to bat first. The opening pair provided an excellent platform with a positive start, although both departed inside the powerplay. From there, Kathryn Bryce and Sarah Bryce took control of the innings, combining elegant stroke play with smart strike rotation to keep the scoreboard ticking. Sarah Bryce looked set for a memorable milestone but fell short after a composed and valuable knock. Ireland, meanwhile, will be disappointed with their efforts in the field, as they missed several chances. Join us for the chase after the break.
