5.46pm: Forecaster 0-1 Feedbackers. That was a suitably weighty effort from the big beasts of this World Cup, posting the third 400-plus total of the tournament as they look to go nine-and-oh for the group stage. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill set the tempo with a 91-run powerplay, Virat Kohli added fifty before Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul unleashed with a double-century stand. Simples.

Here's Rahul at halfway: "Nice to have some time in the middle and get some balls in the middle of the bat. Hopefully I can carry this confidence ahead. Last ten you've got to go. Wickets in hand, Shreyas was set, the plan was clear. Get as many runs as possible, enjoy yourself. Everyone has a clear game plan, we've been executing well. Try and win this game here and look forward to the semi-finals. [Wicketkeeping] Does get a bit difficult on the body sometimes but otherwise I enjoy being involved in the game throughout."

In case you were wondering, this would be a record chase for Netherlands. Ashish will be back for the start of that in a bit

"Par score I'd reckon," chuckles Sagar

de Leede to Yadav, 2 runs, full outside off, skewed up and over backward point on the drive. Job done for India, you would imagine

SKY comes out to face the final ball

de Leede to Rahul, OUT, picks out deep square leg! De Leede gets one more wicket of a very solid World Cup, but it's too late to limit the damage for Netherlands. Rahul got hold of the pull but there wasn't quite enough on it and Engelbrecht settled under the catch

"You forgot to highlight that Van Beek hit a century too." Saving his blushes, Uddhav

de Leede to Rahul, SIX, goes to his hundred with a six! Brings up 400, too! Full on the stumps and he flicks it high and handsome over deep square leg. Gets to the mark from 62 balls, the fastest for India at World Cups

de Leede to Rahul, SIX, slower ball, hoicked into the stands! Sits back and heaves over deep midwicket. He's into the 90s with five balls still to come

Bas de Leede to bowl out. India need seven for 400, Rahul 11 for his century

van Beek to Iyer, FOUR, pitched up and crashed through cover! 400 comes into view! Brutal from Iyer as he leans into a lofted drive. An over that cost 25

6
van Beek to Iyer, SIX, short and smeared into the leg side! Another slower ball gets dispatched with interest. Didn't quite hit this so well, the boundary rider was interested... but not in the game as it flew over his outstretched arm

"Iyer has his highest score!!!" notes Pramod Kumar

1w
van Beek to Iyer, 1 wide, slower-ball bumper outside off, loops through as Iyer lets it go. Too high for the umps

van Beek to Rahul, 1 run, full in the channel, pace off. Rahul's bottom hand comes off the bat as he chips one out towards deep cover

van Beek to Iyer, 1 run, low full toss, clubbed back down the ground.... didn't time it and Nidamanuru does well running around from long-off

*Forecaster goes and hides behind the sofa*

van Beek to Iyer, SIX, six more, butchered over long-on! Stays in the crease, ready and waiting for a length ball, doesn't matter what sort of pace. Tonked 91m into the crowd

van Beek to Iyer, SIX, short ball clubbed into the sightscreen! Slower ball outside off, sits up nicely but Shreyas still has to generate all the power... and boy does he!

Two to come
