After showers delayed the start until 16:00 BST, Ian Bell scored 50 to help England reach 167-6 in 20 overs.

Michael Leask kept Scotland in contention with 42 off 16 balls.

But his wicket triggered a collapse as the Scots slumped from 95-4 to 133-9 to lose by 39 runs (D/L method), with James Tredwell taking 4-40.
