England were made to fight to the wire in a contest sufficiently ugly not to have looked out of place 5,000 miles away in Edinburgh. A renowned sweeper, he did not attempt the stroke once across his 41-ball innings, opting instead to strike straight down the ground. Berrington himself had turned things round for Scotland after England replicated their three-wicket power play against West Indies on Wednesday. Regularly moving outside leg-stump to give himself room, his targeting of Adil Rashid injected momentum alongside ex-New Zealand international Tom Bruce. Fifteen more minutes of Michael Jones going against the head might have increased the tension, and in the end England were thankful for Berrington’s assessment that they had fallen 20 runs short.
