Munsey was trying lots of different things but struggling to execute them properly. It's not the way he normally likes to go about his innings but that happens sometimes and Scotland remain in a good spot heading into the final 10 overs.

It's interesting that Jones isn't wearing a cap - he won't have done this before when playing in England. One thing it does mean is that the bowler knows he won't get down to sweep the ball.

Interesting that Scotland batter Michael Jones is wearing a cap while batting. Batters aren't allowed to do this when playing in or for England but Jones comes under the jurisdiction of Scotland Cricket in this tournament. You can read more about batting helmets and the rules around them in England in our Ask Me Anything explainer.

Earlier this week, England Test captain Ben Stokes suffered a serious facial injury while coaching and said the accident has given him a new perspective on protective wear.

"I never understood the no helmet when spin is bowling, I used to have throwdowns with no helmet," Stokes wrote in a post on X.

"After my accident last week and getting seriously lucky with the outcome, I’ll never not wear a helmet, cricket balls do serious damage."

Nepal captain Rohit Paudel brings himself into the attack and George Munsey continues to scratch around.

No such issues for Michael Jones, who finishes the over with a powerful strike back past the bowler for four.

Nine from the over.

That's the powerplay done and Scotland will be pretty pleased with their work so far.

Michael Jones has led the way with George Munsey not quite in top gear yet.

Scotland's 50 comes up as an agricultural swipe down the ground brings George Munsey four.
