England sweep past Scots in first game of new Moores era


(Reuters) - England launched Peter Moores's second campaign as national team coach with a 39-run triumph over Scotland in a rain-affected one-day international in Aberdeen settled by the Duckworth-Lewis scoring method on Friday.

The visitors, having been put in to bat by Scotland, chalked up 167 for six in 20 overs in Moores's first game back in charge after taking over from Andy Flower following England's Ashes defeat in Australia earlier this year.
