England and Scotland to Share Points

The revised target for England was 109 runs off 10 overs (DLS method). However, England didn’t get any chance to bat due to rain.

He’s happy with the way openers perform in this uneven bounce pitch. He highlights the role of Jones, Munsey, and George, who have shown potential in different positions.
