Christchurch--England captain Eoin Morgan was a relieved man after they posted their first points in the World Cup with a 119-run victory over Scotland in Christchurch on Monday. England's win was built around a 172-run partnership between openers Moeen Ali and Ian Bell.
Ali produced a flamboyant 128 and Bell a composed 54, but behind them came Morgan with 46 and five scores of 10 and under."You always think you should get more than you should, but having been there for the last five overs, the wicket slowed up the older the ball got, and with the wind, as well, it made it difficult to find the boundary," left-hander Morgan said.
