National coach Gus Logie believes that Bermuda will have a great chance of beating Scotland if they can dismiss the visitors for less than 270 this morning.

With Scotland currently on 240-7, Bermuda had much the better of the first day's play, but with a pitch that started turning almost from the outset, Logie thinks that both teams will fancy their chances.

"When you look at the conditions then both teams will feel that they are in with a shout," he said.

"There is some turn in the pitch from the first day, which has presented a problem for the batsmen and it is only going to get worse. I think we will have to make the most of the conditions while we can."

The conditions and the state of the pitch were the driving force behind Logie's decision to play just two seam bowlers. Ryan Steede missed out and OJ Pitcher returned to the side in his place.

"OJ bowls a bit of medium pace, and gives us the option to bat a long way down the order. When you look at the pitches in Bermuda they tend to turn later on, so it made sense to have some batting cover and then we can use OJ when needed."

After losing the toss and forced to field, Bermuda faced a long hot day in the field, but they responded with the kind of enthusiasm that Logie is coming to expect from his side.

"The guys kept at it, they showed a bit of heart, and that's what you want to see, 96 overs is a long day. If we come back and have a good go tomorrow, and keep them below 270, then I think we will have done really well."

Scotland too fancy their chances of taking control of the game. They still have Majid Haq at the crease, who at six short of his 50 is not thinking about fielding just yet. Even so, he is relishing the chance when it comes.

"I've never seen it (the ball) turn that much on the first day of a game as it did today," he said. "It was going all over the place, but I can't wait to have a bowl on it tomorrow."
