Scotland suffered defeat in their second summer tour match as they were left battered, bruised and blown away by Fijian force and flair in Suva. That was despite the return of star players like captain Rory Darge, back-row dynamo Jamie Ritchie and flying winger Darcy Graham.

Scotland's chances of reaching a fifth successive T20 World Cup were extinguished by Jersey. As headlines go, it looks highly embarrassing. And as it turned out, the dramatic final-ball loss just added another layer of ignominy since victory over the part-time Channel Islanders would not have been enough anyway.
