Darcy Graham was sent off as Scotland suffered a bruising loss to four-try Fiji in Suva, with their hopes of getting a favourable World Cup draw seriously dented. Despite scoring after only three minutes, the Scots spent most of the game on the back foot, conceding penalty after penalty.

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.
