Ranked No.11 on the ICC charts for ODIs, Scotland scored 371-5 after being asked to bat, with MacLeod scoring 140* in 94 balls. No.1-ranked England then looked on track as Jonny Bairstow slammed a 59-ball 105, but they were shot out for 365 in 48.5 overs.

With Australia touring England for a five-ODI series, England would have wanted to win the game and carry the confidence into the fixtures, but that was not to be.

“We want more games. That is the bigger shop window rather than the personal side. This should be a catalyst for more games. Anyone here or watching could see the energy from the crowd and what passion there is for cricket up here.”

Coetzer, who scored 58 in 49 balls opening the innings, hoped Scotland can put on more displays of a similar kind going forward.

“It means a lot to the guys. We’ve created an electric atmosphere and it’s something we need to do more. It was an outstanding game and the guys did unbelievably well to knock over the No.1 side in the world,” he said.

“It was nice to see what this Scottish team can really provide. It would be nice to play a few more games like this. It’s nice for us to take this opportunity.”
