2.27pm Sweet Caroline serenades the teams as they leave the field. A battling effort from the Dutch, not least the captain Edwards, and his fellow fifty-makers Bas de Leede and Max O'Dowd. But David Willey led the line with 4 for 36, ably supported by his fellow left-armer David Payne, and Brydon Carse, whose extra pace accounted for two wickets. It ought to be a formality for a team that scored more than twice this total of 245 last week... but who rightly knows? Alan will be back to begin the (not reckless) teeing off shortly.
PA van Meekeren b Willey 2 (5m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66

- David Willey8-0-35-3
So, final over, one wicket standing. Willey has the ball
Praveen: "This tim'e' Payne has his wicket. For a moment I read it as Tim Paine." I feel your paine
The end of a gutsy series with the bat for Edwards, but you sense it's not going to be enough to slow down this juggernaut
