Pakistan Vs Scotland LIVE Score, ICC U-19 World Cup: Scots Struggling Against Young Shaheens Attack | SCO 59/3 (17)

The partnership between Knight and Grant is broken by Pakistan U19, with the latter being dismissed for 21. It was a googly from Qamar which gets a thick edge, with Minhas taking an easy catch at cover point. Finlay Carter is the new batter.

The first powerplay comes to an end, and it has been a slow but steady start from Scotland. After losing two wickets in the first over itself, the Scots must have feared the worst. However, Grant and Knight have steadied the innings, taking their time to settle in what looks like a challenging surface to bat on.

What an action-packed opening over that was! Theo Robinson punished Ali Raza's loose bowling with a boundary off the very first ball. The next one, however, was a bit quicker, smashing the stumps and earning Pakistan U19 their first breakthrough.

The carnage continues, though, as new batter Max Chaplin opens his account with a six off a wide delivery. Then, another wide runs away for four more. And another wide.

Then, a repeat of the first wicket as another quicker ball beats the defence of Chaplin, with the middle stump going for a toss. An expensive but effective first over from Raza.
