England faltered to 57 for three after off-spinner Majid Haq had taken the wickets of Ravi Bopara and Owais Shah with consecutive deliveries.

But their highest-profile batsman came to the rescue with four fours and two sixes in an unbeaten 39-ball 53 to see England past Scotland's 136 for five with one over to spare.

After Scotland had won the toss, their innings was successful to a point but never achieved the necessary momentum to set a truly testing target for England.

Only Adil Rashid and part-time off-spinner Pietersen went for more than six an over, and Scotland were unable to take even five an over off Ryan Sidebottom.

The consequence was a pleasing but not quite competitive performance, in which Colin Smith and Kyle Coetzer's 62-run third-wicket stand provided the most substance.

Wicketkeeper Smith's four fours and one six took him to within five runs of a half-century - before he skied a caught-and-bowled back to Paul Collingwood, who took two wickets in three overs of his medium-pace.
