6.10pm What sort of response will Netherlands put up from here? Join us soon for the chase.

Stat alert: Maxwell's 40-ball century is now the fourth fastest ODI century of all time too. He got his second fifty in 13 balls!

John: "Everyone forgets about Rashid Khan's bowling in 2019 when it comes to the most expensive ever. OK, he 'only' went for 110, 5 less than de Leede, but that was off 9 overs!! 12.22 rpo compared to 11.5 for de Leede!!"

6.04pm Australia pump 131 in the last ten overs. Maxwell hammers a 40-ball century. And Netherlands need 400 to win.

When Warner, Smith and Labuschagne were going strong, Australia looked set for 350+. Then when three wickets tumbled in the middle overs, it looked like Netherlands had dragged the innings back. But then arrived Maxwell, and the rest is history. He smashed the WC record by nine balls, a massive effort to shave so many deliveries off it.

For Netherlands, they'll wonder why Ackermann bowled only 4 overs for 19 runs. van Beek finishes with 4 for 74. de Leede now holds the forgettable tag of bowling the most expensive ODI spell in history.

Glenn Maxwell: (reverse sweeps) Just about getting a read of the bowler. For those who bowl quick, my hands have to be faster. Some may go for six but generally I'm trying to get it just over the infield. Netherlands saved a couple of certain boundaries. (Summary) Could've been a better score but they were outstanding in the field. The ball seems to travel here."

van Beek to Starc, OUT, is there another storyline brewing? A possible hat-trick? Logan has two in two! Rolls his fingers over this ball. Full on middle. Starc tried to cream a golf-swing over cow corner but he's miscued it. Ackermann calls and takes it running in

van Beek to Maxwell, OUT, out, but not before producing one of the most entertaining ODI centuries of all time! Maxwell tries to go over long off but this time the ball came off the bat's outside half. Engelbrecht takes a tough catch near the boundary and Maxwell is undone by the wide line. However the TV umpire wants to check if the catch is clean. Ja, all good.

de Leede to Maxwell, (no ball) SIX, A 40-ball century for Glenn Maxwell! A chest-high full toss but Maxwell is seeing them like watermelons. Thumps a hook over fine leg and he's obliterated the World Cup record for fastest ODI hundred. de Leede has also conceded the most expensive spell in ODI bowling.

Mick Lewis once conceded 113 in one ODI innings. Shares the record with Adam Zampa. de Leede in danger of getting that record
