FROM DAVID CHARLESWORTH IN KOLKATA HARRY BROOK is hopeful England can peak at the right time at the T20 World Cup after admitting they have not yet "clicked" in their opening three matches.

- 

England came to India on the back of one-day international and T20 series wins in Sri Lanka but they were given a major scare in a last-ball thriller against Nepal before losing to the West Indies.

Already in must-win territory to progress from Group C, England restricted Scotland to 152 all out but lost openers Phil Salt and Jos Buttler cheaply and lurched to 86-4.

Tom Banton's unbeaten 63 anchored a nerve chase to lift England to a five-wicket victory at Eden Gardens and leaves them needing to beat Italy tomorrow at the same venue to reach the Super Eights stage.
