I see the traditionally rained off fixture between Scotland and England is arranged to be rained off today. These are the two sides cricinfo would have expected to take part:

Scotland: (probable): 1 Kyle Coetzer (capt), 2 Matthew Cross (wk), 3 Calum MacLeod, 4 Richie Berrington, 5 Preston Mommsen, 6 Dylan Budge/George Munsey, 7 Michael Leask, 8 Safyaan Sharif, 9 Mark Watt, 10 Alasdair Evans, 11 Stuart Whittingham

England (probable): 1 Jonny Bairstow, 2 Jason Roy, 3 Alex Hales, 4 Joe Root, 5 Eoin Morgan (capt), 6 Sam Billings (wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Adil Rashid, 9 David Willey/Tom Curran, 10 Liam Plunkett, 11 Mark Wood

Woakes has been ruled out for England. And Buttler rested (I kid you not!).

Good start for the Scots against the Yorks attack.

200-3 with 20 overs to go, they should be aiming for 325 from here

Would have thought 325- 350 wouldnt be enough on this pitch and our batting line up, but scoreboard pressure you never know

We really need a 6th bowling option...

Willey going at 7.5, Moeen going at 7...

not good enough, Root is useful option, but cant help but feel, we need a Colly type bowler in the middle as well... Stokes missing really does mess up our balance, even when he's not at his best, his all-round ablility really does balance our side

England have enough all rounders to include six bowling options. Especially with such able batting WKs. They're just greedy for including batters.

Rapid ton for MacLeod. Scotland should get a big score. England ought to win, but even with improvements, there's that expectation still that what can go wrong will go wrong.

They're all going for between 6.5 and 7.5 so there's no individual who is having a particular 'mare. Just that it's tough for everyone.
