Majid Haq [7.0-0-40-0] is back into the attack
Drinks are on the field now. England are firmly on the move now. Moeen got past his hundred and has looked to be positive ever since then. Ballance is taking his time to settle then. England look good to post a score of 350 or more.
Scotland have tried to test the left-handed batsman with short deliveries, but they just aren't quick enough to trouble Moeen. On the other hand, Moeen's opening partner, Bell, struggled for timing and wasn't at his fluent best. However, he too amassed a fifty before he was dismissed for 54. Scotland desperately need to snare the wicket of Moeen as he is the one, who has taken the chances and has played aggressively.
Here is Bharath Ramaraj's analysis of the last 17 overs: Scotland's bowlers bowled a touch better during the middle part of the innings. It was Richie Berrington, who finally broke the opening stand by snaring the wicket of Ian Bell. For England, Moeen Ali continued to play eye-catching shots and completed his second hundred in ODIs. He reached his century by launching Majid Haq for a six over the mid-wicket region.

Drinks time. England utterly dominant. Scotland look very ordinary with the ball. A huge score is on the cards
Among the Scotland seamers, Wardlaw, arguably their best pacer since John Blain retired from international cricket, bowled with decent control. However, Davey was inconsistent. The white new Kookaburra ball swung, but Scotland's pacers struggled to bowl line and length. To make it worse for them, Freddie Coleman dropped a tough chance off Davey's bowling to give Moeen a reprieve.
Here is Bharath Ramaraj's analysis of the first 17 overs: After Scotland won the toss and opted to bowl, England got off to a fine start. It was Moeen Ali, known for playing well-timed shots, who opened up his shoulders to essay booming drives. Moeen also lofted Josh Davey over mid-off for a six and followed it up by pulling the former Yorkshire seamer, Iain Wardlaw, in front of square for a boundary. Ian Bell, Moeen's opening partner, began his innings on a cautious note before pulling Alasdair Evans for a four. When the experienced off-spinner, Majid Haq, was introduced into the attack, Moeen thwacked a long hop over wide long-on for a six. Moeen, then reached his fifty in a mere 39 deliveries.

10.2 -
Davey to Bell, no run, cracker of a ball that one. Angled in and straightens, Bell was pushing inside the line and the extra bounce takes it over the blade, didn't miss off by much. Bell has a puzzled look after getting beaten

Davey to Moeen Ali, SIX, that's a shot and a half. Davey has been guilty of pitching it up far too often in the over and Moeen Ali just is timing the drives superbly. This one is just nonchalantly lifted over mid-off. The timing was so great that it carried all the way. The bat swing from Moeen Ali was a sight to behold. Such grace and poise in the stroke

Moeen Ali and Bell are at the crease. Moeen Ali is on strike. Iain Wardlaw will open the attack
England's last two 300-plus scores in the World Cup were against India and Ireland. They tied the first one and lost the one against Ireland.
Welcome back...The England players are in a huddle. They have got the runs on the board and now need to bowl well to secure their first win in the tournament.
For Scotland to give England a run for their money, they need Kyle Coetzer, Richie Berrington, Preston Mommsen and Sussex's middle-order batsman, Matt Machan to fire. On the other hand, the likes of James Anderson and Stuart Broad would be keen to take wickets upfront.
For Scotland, Iain Wardlaw, the former Yorkshire seamer and arguably their best pacer since the retirement of John Blain, bowled with good disciplines upfront. Former Derbyshire seamer, Alasdair Evans, known for his nagging accuracy in Scotland's cricketing circles, too bowled with decent control. Davey, the swing bowler, snared four wickets. Haq produced a fine performance and snared the vital scalp of Moeen. In fact, Scotland would rue the fact that Moeen was dropped in the fourth over of the innings by Freddie Coleman off Davey's bowling.
Moeen's opening partner, Ian Bell, wasn't at his fluent best. But he and Moeen stitched a fine 172-run opening stand before Bell was dismissed for 54. It was also England's best opening stand in the history of the World Cup. Once Moeen was dismissed, England lost a slew of wickets. But Eoin Morgan and James Taylor helped them to recover. After the fall of Taylor's wicket, Jos Buttler, with his pyrotechnics took over and played crunching shots. In particular, England's coaching staff would be happy with Morgan doing well as he has struggled for runs in recent times.
Moeen Ali was the star performer for England as he composed a stroke-filled century to take them to a sizeable score on the board. Moeen essayed a fluent ton, full of booming drives, wristy flicks, eye-catching pulls and sparkling lofted shots. Moeen made his intentions clear by thumping Josh Davey for a couple of boundaries and a six in the fourth over of the innings. He then, took a heavy toll on all the bowlers. He eventually, completed a quickfire hundred by launching Majid Haq, the experienced off-spinner, for a six over the mid-wicket region. Haq though, had the last laugh as he dismissed Moeen for 128. It turned out to be Moeen's highest score in ODIs.

Cross is quick to gather the ball and whips the bails with Taylor struggling to make his ground. Scotland are chipping away at the wickets. James Taylor st Matthew Cross b Davey 17(26)
Davey to James Taylor, THATS OUT!! Stumped!!
That's smart from Matthew Cross. Is Taylor stumped? He's well short, another wicket for Scotland, but this one's for the keeper

Davey to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, Davey slips in the slower ball, nudged towards mid-wicket for a single
Morgan: "Delighted with today's performance. After a couple of bad games, it was important for us to focus on what we do and today we come out and played probabaly not within ourselves but expressed ourselves a little bit which was good to see. Well, its about playing the ball in front of you, especially after losing the toss and batting first in conditions that nipped around a little bit. I thought the two openers were exceptional upfront and set a great platform. Ideally we would have liked to kicked on without stuttering, losing two in batsmen set us back by probably 3-4 overs. But again we recovered really well and got a good score. No, we are really flexible, going forward today was all about a win. But as he get closer to the powerplay, 35-36 overs in we tend to be more flexible. Nice to get some runs, would have liked some more as usual but nice to get some runs in the middle. I thought we were really good. Standout performance from Steve Finn, just came in and smashed a length and got the ball to talk a little bit. I though Broady (Broad) went unrewarded and again was quite ruthless in what he did. Moeen Ali chipping in with his 10 overs, I thought was brilliant. At the moment it is great to have them back at full strength. I think the combination of both (Anderson and Broad) works, works a lot in Test match cricket. They manage to build pressure and do two different things with the ball, that's a massive plus. And they are our the two most experienced bowlers. They are bowlers you turn to, if you are in need and upfront have been the best for a while now. It is down to Jimmy (Anderson) and whoever has been partnering him. It's nice to get started and be on the board. Moeen Ali was exceptional."
Mommsen: "Not quite. I think we won the toss, obviously we would have liked a few more early wickets. Unfortunately that wasn't to be, we pulled things back nicely towards the backend of the innings. And then, unfortunately with the bat we just couldn't get going. Not sure what we can put that down to, but we didn't quite hit our areas. They are quality players and capitalised. Took their time early on and made it count towards the end. But I think credit to our bowling attack, the way they bounced back in the second half and bowled at the death, I thought they were very good. I still thought we were in with a shout, good wicket and we knew we needed a partnership upfront and we slowly started to get that and unfortunately it couldn't quite be that big one that we needed. Joshy (Davey) and great work at the death. I thought Kyle (Coetzer) batted beautifully there. Unfortunately, he couldn't go onto a big one. He timed beautifully today. I was in the wars there, but I am still walking. That New Zealand game was a tough first one for us. First WC match for us, for a lot of these boys. It was brilliant to get that experience, put that in the bank and take it away with us. Today again some learning curves for us and hopefully we will be better for that when we come up against Afghanistan. A huge step up from County cricket to international cricket. There is lot more pressure riding on everything, bigger crowds, ball is coming quicker, little one percenters make a huge difference. But at the same time we are standing up to it and we are not shying away."
Moeen Ali: "It was nice just to spend a bit of time. Just get through the first 10 overs, play a bit of positive and stuff like that. As normal as I could and still be aggressive. It was not an easy pitch to start on, takes a bit of more time, obviously these guys didn't get a lot of time when they came in, to play some shots, but we did well to get 300. There was a time when I thought 330-340, but like I said it was quite difficult, it wasn't easy to hit with a bit of wind and stuff. It is nice that we at least got 300. Obviously 340 is a bit long. It's nice to get a bit of form going into the next game. Hopefully, I can keep going, its nice to get a winning hundred. We just have to thank God for winning the game and hopefully, we can get on a run and win the next three. I didn't feel like I bowled that well today, it was ok. I have not bowled for a couple of weeks now, in terms of games, so it was nice to get some wickets and bowl 10 overs."
Moeen Ali is the Man of the Match for his all-round show.
There were a few positive signs for the England unit. Moeen played fearless cricket and yet again was among the wickets. Eoin Morgan played an enterprising innings of 46. Among the bowlers, Steven Finn bowled with a decent burst of pace and generated a bit of bounce. Chris Woakes bowled with zest and vigour as well. After being crushed in Wellington by New Zealand, England would be happy to win their first game. But England still have to lift their game by a few notches when they take on Sri Lanka in their next match in Wellington. On the other hand, Scotland will face Afghanistan in their next game in Dunedin.
For Scotland, Iain Wardlaw, the former Yorkshire seamer, bowled with decent control, with the new ball. Alasdair Evans, known for his accuracy, too bowled with purpose. Davey, after struggling for consistency with the new ball, came back strongly to take key wickets. While chasing down England's total, Scotland made a brisk start. It was Coetzer, who proved his worth with a wide array of strokes to put England's spearhead, James Anderson, under pressure. But with wickets falling at the other end, he found it tough to maintain the scoring rate. For a brief period, Preston Mommsen and Coetzer gave Scotland a glimmer of hope of chasing down the target. But with both Mommsen and Coetzer getting out in quick succession, Scotland sloped towards a heavy defeat.
Moeen also shared a fine opening stand of 172 with Ian Bell. It turned out to the best partnership for England for the first wicket in World Cups. Bell struggled for timing, but played with composure to compile a fifty. Scotland though, made a spirited comeback with Josh Davey taking four wickets. In fact, it was Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler, who landed a few hefty blows, and twinned it with quick running and improvisation to take England to a very good total. On the other hand, Scotland would rue the fact that Freddie Coleman gave Moeen a reprieve by dropping a tough chance in the fourth over of the innings.
Moeen Ali's sparkling century and a fine all-round performance from the bowlers helped England to register their first win in the mega event. To make it a great day for Moeen, he also took the crucial wicket of Kyle Coetzer. Moeen was in prime form with the bat in hand. He cut, drove, flicked, lofted and pulled his way to a magnificent century.

For a brief period, Scotland gained a bit of momentum and on this flat deck, they still seemed to have an outside chance of upsetting the apple-cart and defeating England. Unfortunately, Mommsen, Scotland's captain, was dismissed by Joe Root and to make it worse for them, Moeen Ali landed the decisive blow by snaffling Coetzer's wicket. For England, Steven Finn bowled with brisk pace and extracted bounce, and Moeen yet again made crucial breakthroughs.
Here is Bharath Ramaraj's analysis of the last 17 overs: Kyle Coetzer and Preston Mommsen gave a good account of themselves by cracking a flurry of boundaries during the middle part of the innings. If Coetzer used the crease against the English bowlers to keep the scorecard moving then, Mommsen, with nimble footwork, played a few excellent shots down the ground while facing up to the spinners. Mommsen also used the sweep shot to keep the spinners guessing.
Time for a drinks break!

Finn to Davey, out Caught by Buttler!! Finn has certainly put the horrors of the previous game behind him. He picks up his second wicket.

In fact, Anderson swung the new ball for a few overs and should have taken the wicket of Coetzer too, but Ian Bell couldn't hold onto a chance at second slip. Chris Woakes, then followed up by snaffling the wicket of Freddie Coleman, with Steven Finn sending Scotland's main batsman Matt Machan back to the pavilion. It has to be said that Woakes has been England's best bowler on show as he has bowled with good disciplines. The track is flat and that can be encapsulated by the way Coetzer thwacked Anderson through the line and over the mid-wicket region to collect four runs in the fifth over of the innings.
Here is Bharath Ramaraj's analysis of the first 17 overs: Kyle Coetzer showed his ability to play well off the back foot by essaying crunching shots. England though, took wickets at regular intervals to gain the upper-hand. Coetzer took a heavy toll on James Anderson's bowling by smashing him for a flurry of boundaries. For England, Anderson took the first wicket by dismissing Calum MacLeod. MacLeod looked to take on Anderson by using his feet, but the England spearhead followed him to produce the edge and snare his wicket.
