Scotland v New Zealand: A gloomy scene greets spectators at the start of day two of the World Twenty20 but they don't let it get them down
When a seven overs a side match finally gets under way, former skipper Ryan Watson carves and slogs six fours in his 27 off 10 balls to give Scotland a flying start
Kyle Coetzer follows Watson's lead as he and Navdeep Poonia share a stand of 69 to leave Scotland's fans dreaming of a shock win to emulate the Dutch victory over England on the opening day
Scotland lose three wickets in their final over to finish on 89-4 - two of them to Kiwi pace bowler Ian Butler, who has highly creditable figures of 3-19
Scotland's bowlers are unable to contain big-hitting Jesse Ryder who launches New Zealand's reply with two sixes and three fours to put them ahead of the required rate
Ross Taylor has an early let-off when keeper Colin Smith drops a chance behind the stumps and makes Scotland pay by going aerial as the Kiwis continue the onslaught
Scotland's fielding becomes ragged as the pressure increases and captain Gavin Hamilton is forced to make regular changes to try and stem the flow of runs
After New Zealand wrap up a seven-wicket win, it's the turn of West Indies and Australia to take centre-stage at The Oval and Jerome Taylor soon has the Aussies in trouble with two wickets in the first over
Australia captain Ricky Ponting can hardly believe it as he returns to the dressing room at The Oval after falling leg-before to Taylor for a duck
Michael Clarke also departs cheaply and Australia are indebted to opener David Warner, who makes 63 and shares a stand of 66 with Brad Haddin to give them a chance of posting a competitive total
Brothers Mike (left) and David Hussey (right) weigh in with a useful 30-run partnership as Australia end their 20 overs with a score of 169-7
After beginning the 2007 World Twenty20 with a century, West Indies skipper Chris Gayle sets his sights on another as he smashes six sixes in a dazzling exhibition of power hitting
Opening partner Andre Fletcher proves the perfect foil for Gayle as they smash the Australian attack to all corners in a first-wicket stand of 133, with Fletcher making 53 off 32 balls
Gayle eventually falls for 88, caught off Bret Lee, whose four overs cost 56 runs, but by then victory is a formality for the Windies and they reach their target with 25 balls to spare
The scene switches to Trent Bridge where defending champions India are to take on Bangladesh in the final match of the day
As usual, the colourful and passionate Indian supporters turn out in force to support their heroes
Gautam Gambhir (on strike) and Rohit Sharma give India a good start with a stand of 59 and Gambhir goes on to make exactly 50 before he is caught at cover
Skipper Mahendra Dhoni races to 26 for India and Bangladesh are overjoyed to see the back of him when he is bowled by spinner Naeem Islam
Yuvraj Singh is one of the most dangerous batsmen in world cricket and he clears the rope four times in his 41 off only 18 deliveries as India total 180-5
Bangladesh prosper against the Indian seamers but the introduction of Yusuf Pathan's off-spin produces the breakthrough as he lures Tamim Iqbal down the track and has him stumped
Junaid Siddique does his best to keep Bangladesh in the hunt, hitting three sixes in his 41, but the game starts to slip away from them when he is caught in the deep
Pragyan Ojha was one of the most successful bowlers in the recent Indian Premier League season and he repeats that form with a spell of 4-21 to tighten his side's grip on the game
Yuvraj drops an easy chance in the field but atones with two brilliant catches, including one at long-off in the final over to dismiss Naeem as India win by 25 runs
