    0.5 trapped! And a 100th wicket for Mujeeb. The Barresi promotion did not work, Mujeeb just too magical with the new ball. Length ball lands outside off. Skids and turns sharply in, and Barresi was caught lbw on the back foot 3/1
    11.3 full ball on leg. Gets low and plays a paddle sweep to fine leg. Calls for two, but there's a direct hit from the deep and Max might be struggling! Yes, Max did dive but not quickly enough to beat the rocket throw from Omarzai. He's a couple of inches short, and now he's gone for 42. 73/2
    18.3 another run-out! What are the Dutch doing?! Full outside off. Engelbrecht advances and drills it straight to mid off. For some reason, the batters think the single is on. But that was never the case. Rashid lifts up his head after gathering, sees Ackermann half-way down and rifles it to the keeper, who does the rest. Ackermann was ball-watching a little but even if he had not been doing so, he might not have gotten there - that is how ill-judged the run was! 92/3
    34.4 another run out is it? Ikram is confident and this is dismissal number four via a run out. Engelbrecht again involved in a run-out, this time he is the one going back. Slow to start off for the single after van der Merwe hit it very hard to midwicket. Maybe there was no single in there after all 152/8
    18.4 oh dear, one brings two, and two brings three! Floated up full just outside off. Edwards has decided a week early that he wants to sweep. Does not get the purchase he is after, though, and the ball skews off the under-edge towards the keeper. Edwards, unaware of where the ball has gone, wanders down a couple of steps and that allows Alikhil to collect and take off the bails. This is catastrophic from a Dutch perspective! 92/4
    20.2 edged and gone! Afghanistan have another, and things are going pear-shaped for the Dutch! Back of a length delivery hung outside off. This one keeps going on with the angle and de Leede has a loose waft at it. Gets the faintest of tickles and Alikhil gobbles it up behind the stumps! 97/5
    25.3 but Zulfiqar has nicked this through to the keeper! A bit of a drag-down outside off and the batter's eyes light up. He gives himself room, perhaps too much room in the end, and he chalks it off the bottom of the bat. Alikhil snaffles up another sharp chance, and the Dutch slide further! 113/6
    30.6 stumped by a mile! Beautifully done! Has this on a string and the ball dips very late on van Beek. Looking at the flight, he thinks he can get to the ball. But because the ball drops so late, van Beek is caught in no man's land. Has a hopeful waft at it but the ball scrapes past the outside edge. Alikhil effects the stumping and Nabi, on his first over back, has his second wicket! 134/7
    41.1 high up and midwicket comes around to take the catch. Full ball on middle. Turning away and he tries the slog sweep. Sliced, and that's Netherlands nine down 169/9

    46.3 appeal for lbw and given! van Meekeren reviews because Netherlands have reviews in hand. Is there a bottom edge? Well, worth trying atleast. This was a full ball on off and destined for middle. Paul tried the sweep and missed. UltraEdge will clear all doubts...no edge, he's gone. Netherlands fold for 179 179/10

    5.3 appeal, but called a wide by the umpire! Edwards has reviewed this straightaway, though! Banged in short, a little down the leg side. Gurbaz, having advanced, tries to help it fine. The umpire feels he has gotten nothing on it, but Edwards and van Beek reckon it has flicked the glove on the way through. The ball is awfully close to the glove, it must be said. And there is a spike when the ball is next to the glove. An excellent review, and Gurbaz has to go! 27/1
    10.1 chops it on! van der Merwe strikes straightaway! Seems like an innocuous length delivery outside off. Zadran thinks so too, and despite getting to the pitch of the ball, he tries to slap it through extra cover. The ball holds in the surface just a shade, takes the inside edge and then rattles into the stumps! 55/2
    22.4 classical legspinner's wicket! Caught and bowled trying to drive with the turn. Zulfiqar with some extra flight, tempted the batter to go over the bowler. But a terrific fifty from Shah, given the match situation 129/3
