All the action as Australia and Scotland square at the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies

- Australia done arch-rivals England a huge favour, courtesy of a five-wicket win over Scotland in St Lucia

- A Scottish victory would have sent England, the 2022 champions, home before the Super Eight stage

- Travis Head (68) and Marcus Stoinis (59) scored vital half-centuries to see Australia reach their target of 181 with two balls to spare

- Defeat has denied Scotland a place in the next round
