    2.2 there's the starman celebration from Shaheen, going short to Myburgh, who gets troubled by the bounce. The pull gets a top edge, and Wasim at fine leg runs in to take a simple one. That's a #PerthPitchWicket for ya! 7/1
    8.1 good length ball on off stump. Googly. Turning into the pads with the batter missing any bat on it. LBW appeal and given OUT! But Netherlands review. This has hit the back pad and the TV umpire's technology simply confirms the plumb dismissal. Crashing into top of leg. 26/3
    5.5 hits him on the grille in front of the nose and Shan Masood is quick to run to him and help take the helmet off. Haris goes short, aimed for his neck, and de Leede tries to pull. But extra pace and bounce makes him miss the shot and at 142kph that is always nasty. Not good - looks like there's a cut on his face, just under his right eye but he is smiling, which is good. de Leede is leaving the field, however, so he is retiring hurt. Remember, not retired out, just retired hurt. 18/1
    6.1 a genuine half-tracker on off. Turns away slightly, and Cooper looks to capitalise. Rocks back to pull, but its been hit straight to deep midwicket who is well inside the boundary line. Wasim with the reverse cup technique, gobbling it up at chest height 19/2
    14.2 Trapped lbw, finger goes up immediately! Ackermann has a chat and takes the DRS. Shadab bowls this quicker and flatter and on a length around middle. Ackermann is early into his attempted reverse sweep after changing his stance but misses to be hit on the knee roll. Three reds, Ackermann takes Netherlands' last review as he departs. 61/4
    15.3 Great shot... but straight to fine leg! Why would you play the stroke with fine leg in place. Edwards sees the length ball around off, moves across again and plays the scoop. Makes excellent contact but it is catching practice for Iftikhar, who runs in and pouches it. 69/5
    16.3 Pace is pace and finally there is a Rauf celebration - runs, jumps and punches the air! Spears the length ball on middle and leg at 147 clicks, van der Merwe backs away to hit it but the pace is too much for him. Misses and sees his stumps shattered. 73/6
    18.2 Base of middle! The perfect inswinging yorker form Wasim ends Pringle's stay. He looks to back away and explore the off side but it tails in, passes under his bat and makes a mess of the stumps. 81/7

    18.3 Castled! Two-in-two for Wasim and in some style. Another yorker tailing in on middle, beats the inside edge of Klaassenn who looks to dig it out. 81/8
    19.6 Slower and full on off, wallops it to long-on. He went back for the second, but a sharp throw means he ends up short. 91/9

    12.1 No fifty for Rizwan! Van Meekeren strikes and there's glee in the Netherlands huddle. Nothing big in terms of the overall context, though. He bowls it full and outside off and gets it to nip back in just a touch. Rizwan looks to work it away but only manages an inside edge. Edwards dives forward and grabs that. 83/3
    1.6 full ball angling into off stump. On drive to mid on's right and the batters take off for one. But direct hit at the bowler's end - and that may have Babar struggling! Oh, he's out by a metre! Babar falls prey trying to take a risky single, and it is that legendary electrifying fielder Roelof van der Merwe with the magic throw 16/1
    7.1 Screamer from Edwards! Dives full length to his left after being a tad wrong-footed to end Fakhar's stay. Glover lands it on a full length just outside off, not quite the driving length. But Fakhar goes for it through the off side and only manages a thick nick, that is pouched well. 53/2
    13.3 Edged and it flies straight to deep third! A boundary-less innings from Masood ends with Pakistan on the doorstep of a win. It is short and outside off, he looks to slash it hard to seal the win but finds van Meekeren get forward and pouch that. Smiles as he walks back. 91/4
