"We embrace that as sportsmen. Our job is to perform under pressure. It's a pretty cool day for everyone. I think it's the Calcutta Cup they compete for in rugby and we're playing in Kolkata [formerly Calcutta] for the cricket, so that's quite a coincidence. It's a big day for Scottish sport and a massive opportunity for both teams to get a big win. Hopefully we can do the job."
"An opportunity to upset England is most Scotsmans' dream."
"That being said, it's another game of cricket at this World Cup, and we've got to bring the best version of ourselves."
