- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.3 cleans him up with a yorker! Short, short, short and full. This is outstanding at 146kph. Nissanka seemed a little ruffled with the previous delivery. Hung back inside the crease instead of coming forward, missed it all together as this delivery veered in late. 36/119.2 top-edges this slog sweep, the ball goes miles in the air and Logan Van Beek does well the shadows lengthening at deep midwicket to take this steepler. The ball was swirling in the air for a bit but he kept his eye on the ball right till the very end to complete the catch. End of a superb innings. 157/66.4 big appeal and given! Are they going to review? Dhananjay is very hesitant, decides to walk off in the end. van Meekeren bowls full, the ball angles in to beat his attempted flick as he's struck on the pad. Was definitely worth a review with the angle of the delivery going towards leg stump. Ball tracking shows this would've definitely missed leg stump. Oh, dear. 36/214.1 done in by the slowness of the surface. Asalanka is gone in trying to back away and slash. This is an off cutter from de Leede that he gets a thick bottom edge to and Edwards dives forward to complete the catch behind the stumps. This partnership was just starting to threaten Netherlands. 96/317.2 shovelled straight to long-on! Hit well but down the throat of the fielder. de Leede may have just for a moment wondered if that full toss may be put away but Bhanuka was in trouble the moment he hit it towards long-on because that's the longest part of the boundary. 130/418.4 straight down to long-on where Ackermann slightly misjudged it but held his composure to run a couple of steps back to the rope and take the catch sideways, seemingly mindful of the ropes behind. 151/5Extras4 (b 3, w 1)TOTAL162/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8.1)Fall of wickets: 1-36 (Pathum Nissanka, 6.3 ov), 2-36 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 6.4 ov), 3-96 (Charith Asalanka, 14.1 ov), 4-130 (Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 17.2 ov), 5-151 (Dasun Shanaka, 18.4 ov), 6-157 (Kusal Mendis, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 This time he's not so lucky! The pressure tells, as Singh looks to hoick this length ball over mid-on but only ends up barreling it straight down his throat. 23/15.6 Big appeal for a caught behind, and de Leede is gone! Another one back of a length outside off from Kumara, and de Leede is caught fending unconvincingly at this. Just a feather of a touch through to Mendis, but it's enough. Big wicket in the context of this chase! 40/26.3 And now he strikes! And it so often is, it's the googly that does the trick for Wanindu. This is on a good length, and Ackermann picks the googly looking to work it onside. But nevetheless only manages a gentle leading edge back to the bowler. 47/311.3 Carrom ball cleans him up! This skidded through off a length, and Cooper was done going for the slog sweep. Gets nowhere near it and the stumps are disturbed. 72/414.3 One sweep too many and Edwards' cameo comes to an end! This was the knuckle ball from Binura, yorker length. Edwards shows too much of the stumps and Binura strikes. 100/515.6 Direct hit from long on and he's gone! This was length on off, nudged towards long on, and the batters chance the second. But Dhananjaya picks up cleanly, and throws down the stumps! 105/616.1 Length on off it's the googly and he's right through the gap! Beauty from Hasaranga. 105/716.6 Down the track and Wanindu has another! This kept low, very low, and Klaasen is in no man's land as he misses the big heave-ho. Ball clatters into the base of middle. 109/817.4 Another direct hit, this time it's chipped to mid-off and they attempt a suicidal single, before van Meekeren is rightly turned back. But he's too far down and the throw is lasered in. 123/9Extras12 (b 1, lb 1, nb 1, w 9)TOTAL146/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.3)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Vikramjit Singh, 3.5 ov), 2-40 (Bas de Leede, 5.6 ov), 3-47 (Colin Ackermann, 6.3 ov), 4-72 (Tom Cooper, 11.3 ov), 5-100 (Scott Edwards, 14.3 ov), 6-105 (Tim Pringle, 15.6 ov), 7-105 (Timm van der Gugten, 16.1 ov), 8-109 (Fred Klaassen, 16.6 ov), 9-123 (Paul van Meekeren, 17.4 ov)
