Bermuda has it all to do on the final day of its ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Scotland, needing another 250 runs for victory with just six second-innings wickets remaining.

Set a target of 373 runs to win, Bermuda has lost four cheap wickets – not to mention Chris Foggo retired hurt – and at the close of play on day three had moved up to 123-4, still a long way from victory.

The only real possibility it has of winning the game depends on Steven Outerbridge. The 25-year-old left-hander has been batting well and finished unbeaten on 71 having shared an unbroken fifth-wicket partnership of 58 with Rodney Trott.

Outerbridge’s first job will be to pass 80, his highest score in first-class cricket, and then he will be looking to make it to three figures for the first time in his career. But even that will not be enough and he will be expected to bat for most of the day on Sunday if the home supporters in Bermuda are to have anything to shout about.

Earlier, Scotland had declared on 196-9 as Fraser Watts top scored with 83. That brings Watts’ total run-haul for the match to 176, an impressive effort when very few of his team-mates seemed capable of adapting to the conditions.

George O’Brien (3-39) was the pick of the Bermuda bowlers but he was well supported by Trott (2-22) and Stefan Kelly (2-47) as Neil McCallum (44 not out) was the only Scotland batsman to find his feat at the National Stadium.
