England took a big step towards reaching the Super 8 stage of the Men's T20 World Cup by closing out a five-wicket win over Scotland in Kolkata. Harry Brook's side had clung on for a four-run win over Nepal and lost to the West Indies in their first two Group C matches, leaving them fourth in the five-team standings and under pressure to avoid an embarrassing early exit. Richie Berrington (49) and Tom Bruce (24) put on an impressive 71-run stand to help Scotland recover from 42-3 after losing the toss and being put into bat by England, who responded by claiming five wickets in the space of 21 balls.
