David Wiese to Lungi Ngidi. Half volley, outside off stump no foot movement Slog, Played to long off for 2 runs, fielded by McDermott. Glasgow Cosmic have scrambled to a below-par score of 140-9. They made a decent start, but Anrich Nortje broke the opening partnership, and the wickets kept tumbling thereafter. The Rotterdam bowlers made good use of the slow nature of the pitch and bowled smartly to keep Glasgow in check. Liam Livingstone's 54 off 39 balls was the main reason Glasgow managed to post a respectable total. Anrich Nortje was the star with the ball, finishing with three wickets. The chase is coming up shortly, so stay with us as Rotterdam look to hunt down the target.
