Dubai , 17 July 2008
Scotland took a commanding lead on day two of the ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Canada at King City , Ontario .
An imperious 151 from Dougie Lockhart made sure the visitors reached its total of 374 and then Ross Lyons and Dewald Nel reduced the Canadians to 79 all out. Nel took four wickets and Lyons three as only Sunil Dhaniram (17) put up any kind of defence in the face of the Scotland attack.
Fraser Watts instructed Canada to bat again and, following on, the home side struggled to 36-2 at the close meaning the Scots could wrap up an inning victory on Friday if it bowls well in the second innings.

The ICC Intercontinental Cup has quickly grown in stature and profile since its inception three years ago and now the ICC’s premier first-class tournament is an integral part of the Associate Members’ cricket schedule.
Having previously been designed around a two-group, three-day format, the event has evolved into an eight-team, round-robin and truly global tournament featuring four-day cricket which gives those teams who do not play Test cricket the chance to experience the longer form of the game.
Scotland won the first ICC Intercontinental Cup in 2004, beating Canada in the final, while Ireland has been victorious in both events since then, beating Kenya in the 2005 decider and Canada in the 2006-07 event.
The final of the ICC Intercontinental Cup 2007-08 will take place in November 2008 at a venue yet to be confirmed.
