Do join Anil Kumble in our mid-innings show

7.45pm Netherlands haven't done too badly, but they still find themselves with a tall order as they've been set 180. India's innings was meandering at the halfway as the batters struggled initially on a slightly slow deck, but that was until Surya came out and changed the tempo of the innings with his trademark 360-degree game.

Kohli too finishes with an unbeaten half-century; not his most fluent but a crucial one nonetheless as India made 112 off the back 10 overs to finish with a target they will be happy with.

"Good to see everyone come out and support us, it's been incredible," Surya says. "Wicket was two-paced when we started, very happy with the score. Virat has been doing amazing, has stuck to his routines and processes. I've enjoyed batting with him."

van Beek to Yadav, SIX, oh, no! That's asking for trouble, Logan. Surya sees this full on the pads, he walks across just a touch and then picks this off his pads to clear deep backward square leg. Outstanding wrist work once again to get the ball where he wanted. This was nearly Yorker-length but for Surya to ensure he got underneath it to pick it up and over - absolutely special. Not a bad way to get to a half-century off just 25 balls, yeah? India finish with 179.
