New Zealand v Scotland

Wisden's review of the third match, New Zealand v Scotland

Elliott not stressed by New Zealand's Scotland slide

New Zealand appeared to stutter in their chase of 142 against Scotland, but as they were in pursuit of an outstanding net run rate, the team is at ease with having lost five wickets for 71, Grant Elliott has said

Few would have thought Scotland's attack would extend the New Zealand batting to such a degree in defence of only 142, but captain Preston Mommsen said he expected chances to be created during the chase

Spirited Scotland give New Zealand a scare

Questions for NZ top order after tricky chase
