England bowl in Scotland ODI
EDINBURGH, June 10, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – England captain Eoin Morgan won the
toss and elected to field against Scotland in a lone one-day international in
Edinburgh on Sunday.
Alex Hales returned to England’s top three in the absence of injured all-
rounder Ben Stokes, with Test skipper Joe Root listed at number four for
England, the world’s number-one ranked ODI side.
Test wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow was due to open alongside Jason Roy for
England, who after this match face Australia in a five-match home one-day
series.
England left out batsman Dawid Malan and paceman Tom Curran from their 13-
man squad, with Sam Billings keeping wicket in place of the rested Jos
Buttler.
Scotland, captained by the experienced Kyle Coetzer, gave a debut to Dylan
Budge in their first match since March, when they narrowly missed out on
qualification for the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales.
This was England’s first match in Scotland since they beat the Scots in a
rain-affected one-day match in Aberdeen four years ago.
