Live Cricket Score of England vs Scotland, 14th Match, Pool A, ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

After consecutive losses against Australia and New Zealand, England will be desperate to get going with a win against Scotland. Eoin Morgan's men were given a hiding by New Zealand and Scotland will face the brunt of the backlash. Preston Mommsen's Scotland will be keen to prove that they are no pushovers either. England will not have it easy but will certainly start as clear favorites despite two losses. The pitch at Hagley Oval has been a competitive one with both bowlers and batsmen getting good assistance but both games here so far have seen 300-plus scores. It could be another batter's game if England bat first.

Scotland skipper Peter Mommsen won the toss under overcast conditions in Christchurch and inserted an unchanged and under-fire England in to bat. Interesting for a couple of reasons. Scotland have played a lot of cricket at the Hagley Oval en-route their qualification to the World Cup. A couple of days earlier, They were reduced to 12/4 by New Zealand. A good toss to win.

England need the points from this game. After being blown away by Tim Southee, their batsman now have face the challenge of having to bat under overcast conditions where the new ball is expected to do that little bit. Plotting against them is former Englishman Paul Collingwood, who now coaches the Scotland Cricket Team.

Playing XI:

Scotland: Kyle Coetzer, Calum MacLeod, Freddie Coleman, Matt Machan, Preston Mommsen(c), Richie Berrington, Matthew Cross(w), Josh Davey, Majid Haq, Alasdair Evans, Iain Wardlaw

England: Ian Bell, Moeen Ali, Gary Ballance, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), James Taylor, Jos Buttler(w), Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, Steven Finn, James Anderson
