Summary

Henry Moeran is alongside former England bowler Steven Finn, ex Scotland batter Qasim Sheikh, and journalist Nikhil Uttamchandani for reaction as England & Scotland's T20 World Cup opener is abandoned because of rain in Barbados.

England head coach Matthew Mott tells Henry of his disappointment that the weather affected the game, but saw good signs from England's bowling attack - which included Jofra Archer who's returned to the England side following long injury troubles.

Whilst Scotland captain Richie Berrington talks of his frustration to not get a result after Scotland's impressive batting performance.
