Peter Moores: England must "deliver on the field"

England coach Peter Moores insists that it is time for his side to "deliver on the field" in their Cricket World Cup match against Scotland.

Peter Moores has said that it is time for England to "deliver on the field" ahead of their third match at the Cricket World Cup.

England have been well beaten in their first two outings at the tournament, but face Scotland, who are the lowest-ranked side in Pool A, in their next match in Christchurch on Monday.

The coach told BBC Sport: "It's not a time for talking, it's a time for doing. You have to turn that frustration into determination to put things right. We're still in this tournament. We've got to be ready by Monday to come back and show that against Scotland.

"We have to produce on the field. We have prepared and practised well, but that doesn't really count for anything if you don't deliver on the field. The lads accept that.

"Monday's game will be a tough game because Scotland will be up for it, like we'll be up for it. We've been up for every game that we've played, which makes the hurt even more. The only response is what you come back with."

Scotland lost their opening match at the tournament to New Zealand.
