"It does look on the drier side, but as we have seen on this trip so far, the wickets can change ground to ground, day to day," says Scotland skipper Richie Berrington. "As a team, we want to progress as far as we can. Hopefully we can come out and make a few more special memories today."

Jos Buttler says he'd have bowled first anyway. "Everyone's really excited to get going. It was a 50-50 call [with Topley and Wood] but we've gone for the extra pace of Wood today."
