    12.1 Netherlands draw first blood! Conway skips down the track and got the toe-end of the bat as de Leede pouches it safely at wide of long on and van der Merwe roars with delight, he prompted a false stroke and lured him with this tempter. Brilliant bowling as Conway departs after getting off to a good start, massive wicket 67/1
    26.1 simple catch for mid-on! He takes it with a reverse cup, and on top of his head. Young sent that ball very high up, as the ball came off the toe end of the bat when he looked to pull. Van Meekeren bowled on a short of a length outside off, and the slowness of the pitch came into play. Young seemed to have swung his bat entirely by the time the ball arrived, and the ball ballooned up for a comfortable take 144/2
    32.2 Edwards is up in excitement, and it is given out! Ravindra throws it away immediately after getting to fifty. It was a good catch by Edwards though, as he moved to his right and gobbled that even as Ravindra seemed to be blocking his way. van der Merwe had bowled on a short of a length around middle and off, getting it to turn down the leg side. The ball finished outside leg, as Ravindra ended up tickling it behind while looking to clip 185/3
    40.1 Wrecked the stumps! Flummoxed him with a well-disguised off-cutter that rip through the stumps as he was too early into his big heave over midwicket, ends up making a mess of his stumps. What a sight for the bowler. This is exactly what the doctor ordered for Netherlands, huge scalp! 238/4
    48.4 Sticks to his guns and holds his nerve in the crucial penultimate over, saw him advancing down the track and cleverly pulled his length back, the ball grips in the surface, turns away sharply from his swinging blade and keeper quickly whips off the bails! Dutt has the last laugh 293/7
    41.4 Over the wicket, bangs it on a length and gets some movement off the deck, a rash shot playing away from the body and the ball scratches the outside edge and the keeper holds onto a brilliant catch diving to his right, Glenn Phillips departs early in the piece, de Leede steps up to the plate once again and gets the big fish, pegging New Zealand back and these wickets are certainly going to help keep a lid on the total. Ball was dying towards the keeper but he reacted well 247/5
    44.1 How far it will go? Not all the way! You could just sense a wicket was around the corner with pressure building up with a barrage of dots, he loses his shape while trying to whack that over backward point, van der Merwe backtracks, keeps his eyes locked on the ball, tracked the ball from his bat into the air and then takes a blinder while diving, he is safe as a house in the deep. Superb work from Netherlands as New Zealand continue to lose wickets. 254/6

    5.6 cleans him up! The angle from around the wicket works in Henry's favour pretty much immediately. Vikram was standing with his front leg on leg stump, so there was a lot of space for the ball to run through after he missed. Henry bowled it on a length, angling it into the left-hander. The ball landed around middle and off, and just about straightened to beat Vikram's defence. The middle stump was pushed back in the end 21/1
    10.5 Oh that's the plumbest of lbws, you don't have to refer that! He zips it in quicker and it holds its line as he plays down the wrong line while trying to tuck that away off his pads, it tenderises his pads as the umpire raises the dreaded finger. He has to go back to the hut, bye. Well, actually on the replay, it's not really stone dead, may have just clipped the leg stump so he might have given it a shot and sent it upstairs but the moment has passed now so no points crying over spilt milk 43/2
    32.5 shapes to switch hit, and finds short third! It was a length ball angled into the right-hander, and it pitched outside leg. Ackermann switched over early, and ended up lobbing it to the fielder inside the circle. The ball was dipping on to Henry, but he took that well 157/5
    16.4 Takes the aerial route but doesn't get the distance! Trent Boult at long off takes a superb juggling catch, he caught, lost his balance, flicked the ball in the air, went outside the rope, reestablished his balance to complete a fine catch. That swooped like a falling star and hung in the air for a while as de Leede took the bait and tried to assert himself on the bowler but the move backfired 67/3
    25.4 a mix-up costs Teja his wicket! Netherlands lose a set batter, with the required rate rising already. He had clipped this length ball to deep square leg, where Ferguson moved to his left to cut it off. The throw was wide of Latham too, but Teja had taken off rather hurriedly for a potential second, for which Ackermann said no after initially taking a step down. It was too late by then, and Teja lost his wicket 117/4
    34.5 Santner takes it off his own bowling, as he ended where a few steps behind the stumps at his end. He tossed it up, and went really slow. The ball was full and outside off, as Edwards went slogging across the line. But he got a top edge - perhaps beaten by the slowness of the ball, and of the pitch - to all but end Netherlands' hopes 174/6
    44.6 Prompts an error! Banged in short and he doesn't need any second invitation, he goes for the pull but the ball grew on him and he hasn't got the elevation, Conway at deep square charges in and pockets the catch low down. Netherlands in complete disarray here 218/9
    36.3 Foxed! Santner prompts a false shot. Attempts another reverse sweep and Henry doesn't errs on this occasion, redeems himself by swallowing it up at point and he has a big, broad smile on his face like a student who gets straight A's at the end of a semester 180/7
    41.1 Traps him lbw! Tossed up on a length and it straightens a touch, he was square on while trying to defend with a straight bat, strong appeal for an lbw and given. He takes a second opinion. Was it outside the line? No bat involved, hawk eye shows impact in line, smashing the stumps and so he has to take the long walk back into the pavilion 198/8

    46.3 Clattered the stumps with a beauty! Leg-stump sent packing as he tries to play down the line but it's too good for thee. New Zealand win by 99 runs 223/10
