Player of Match: Jack Jarvis

It's 1-1 going into tomorrow. A fascinating decider awaits us. On that note we sign off for the night. We will be back tomorrow for the final game. Join us then, till then take care and cuddle well. Sleep tight too. Bye.
Matthew Cross | Scotland captain: Super proud. Scrappy game but the guys did well. I said to the boys, you will remember if you win a game like this. I said let's have some fun and it's a young side and we responded brilliantly in the powerplay. 4 wickets in the powerplay and the spinners controlled things after that. Happy to pull through. It's a really good group we have got, they have responded with wickets and runs.
Muhammad Waseem | UAE captain: My bowlers bowled well and I'm very happy with the bowling, but very sad with the performance of the batting. We were struggling in the middle overs, maybe they will step up tomorrow. Hopefully we will play good cricket tomorrow.
Jack Jarvis | Player of the Match: Really happy. We knew it was going to be difficult defending a slightly lower total than we thought but really happy. We wanted to take wickets in the powerplay and we did that. Also slower balls in the middle and the spinners bowled well. Looking forward to hopefully a good game tomorrow. Happy to share this with James Dickinson who was making his debut tonight.
