5:06pm Phew, it will take everyone watching a bit to recover from that manic game. It has still not ended, mind you. We have a Super Over lined up, where the Netherlands will bat first because they chased in the original game. Who will have the momentum? Will it be the West Indies, who pulled a tie out of the fire when the Dutch only needed five off the final five balls? Or will it be the Netherlands, who batted out of their skins to get to 374?

Joseph to van Beek, OUT, Holder flings himself to his right and pouches it! We have a tie, oh my word! THIS. IS. UNBELIEVABLE! More drama as the third umpire is checking whether it is a No ball. The third umpire is satisfied, and Joseph has ensured this game has ended in a tie, with a massive helping hand from Holder! Back of a length outside off stump. van Beek tries to muscle it over mid on but does not get the contact he is after. Splices it towards mid on, where Holder dives full-length to his right and snares it!

LV van Beek c Holder b Joseph 28 (25m 14b 3x4 1x6) SR: 200.00

The field comes in. A scampered single would do the trick for the Netherlands...

Joseph to van Beek, 2 runs, full delivery outside off stump. van Beek drills it down the ground and strains every muscle to get back for the second. Scores level! Hang on, just hang on...they are looking at whether the batter grounded his bat behind the crease while turning for the second. Looks like he did! Scores indeed level!

3 off 2

Joseph to Floyd, 1 bye, they somehow sneak in a bye! Back of a length delivery outside off stump. Floyd wafts and misses. van Beek is half-way down the track already and makes it

Floyd in at 10. 4 needed off 3. Remember, Floyd did pull his groin while bowling. Can he run at full tilt?

Joseph to Dutt, OUT, slices it and taken at long off! 100th ODI wicket for Joseph and what a time to get it! Length delivery outside off stump. Dutt tries to tonk it into tomorrow to seal the deal but loses his shape ever so slightly. Ends up slicing it and Paul at long off does the rest!

A Dutt c Paul b Joseph 16 (16m 9b 2x4 0x6) SR: 177.77

4 off 4. One hit to the fence, and the Netherlands will be home...

Joseph to van Beek, 1 run, full and outside off stump again. This time, van Beek can only drive it straight to extra cover

5 off 5 now. Surely this has become Netherlands' game to lose now?

Joseph to van Beek, FOUR, starts off with four! What a shot under pressure! In the slot outside off stump. van Beek hangs back deep in his crease and then gets his hands through the ball, creaming it past extra cover!

So..it has come down to this. 9 needed off 6 balls. Joseph to bowl the final over. van Beek on strike. Who is winning this epic game of cricket?

END OF OVER:
49 | 21 Runs | NED: 366/7 (9 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 7.46, RRR: 9.00)

Chase to Dutt, FOUR, four to end the over! Low full toss outside off stump. Dutt sits deep in his crease and slams it over the bowler's head! Just nine needed off the final over now!
