- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 and Young gets the first wicket..Short of a length and angling away from off. Myburgh pushed at it and gets an outside edge which lands safely into the hands of Tucker 32/110.2 and he's gone! A flatter off break, turning in from outside off as O'Dowd gets forward to defend. He plays inside the line leaving a huge gap between bat and pad and fails to connect, hits the front pad 51/211.1 and straightaway gets a wicket..A quick yorker at middle stump. Cooper tries to block it but was late on getting his bat down. That's a gem of a delivery 51/331.2 and finally McBrine breaks the partnership. Short of a length ball around middle and off. de Leede goes back and tries to clip it to leg side, bit of extra bounce and ends up chipping it to the short midwicket fielder. 102/611.3 Little gets another wicket..another yorker and outside off. Seelaar gets his bat down to defend and ends up with an outside edge back the keeper. Hardly there was any feet movement and was playing away from the body 51/413.5 that's the third wicket for Little..Half of the side is gone now! Back of a length and shaping across with the angle. Edwards thought of leaving it away but ends up playing at it. Gets an inside edge which ricochet back onto the stumps 53/532.1 and he's gone. A direct throw and Zulfiqar is caught short of the crease ..Back of a length delivery as he taps it towards cover. A bit of causal running as he didn't slide his bat, would have reached it. Poor running there.. 102/750 slower ball outside the off stump. van Beek swings and misses. He was looking to get back to the crease as he stepped down the track. Glover runs across and van Beek is slow to respond or rather he doesn't respond and makes a late attempt at getting to the other end. The Keeper throws it to the bowler and the bowler whips the bails off 195/946.2 dismissed on 49! Slower ball on the off stump. He looks to slog it and throws the kitchen sink at it. Since it was a slower ball, it took ages to get to the batsman. He only got some part of the bat as it bobs up to the fielder at cover. Good knock. One that gives Netherlands a score to defend 174/848.5 good length ball on the off stump. Klaassen slogs and misses. There was only going to be one thing happening once he missed. The ball hits the off stump.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 first ball wicket..fuller length delivery which swings back in from middle stump. Porterfield tries to play across the line but is beaten. 5/137 and Stirling is gone..van der Gugten bowls a widish length ball and Stirling pounces at it, driven firmly but picks the fielder at cover. Seelaar takes a good low catch 135/61.4 another wicket...short and wide, cuts it straight to the fielder at backward of point 9/22.4 given lbw, Tector reviews it..good length delivery pitched around middle stump and straightens. Tector tries to block it but was playing inside the line, hits the front pad. It's umpire's call on hitting the stumps and he has to walk back.. 11/313.5 Glover breaks the partnership..back of a length, and this one nips back in a touch from outside off. Dockrell was playing for a straighter one and was caught at the crease, goes past the inside edge and hits the top of middle stump.. 43/422 Pieter Seelar has the wicket! Good length ball on the stumps. Keeps the line as he is looking to play the angle. Beats the outside edge of the bat and hits him on the pad. Beautiful delivery. Ireland review but the ball tracking shows that the ball would have brushes the top of the stumps. Beautiful delivery and good decision by the umpire 69/549.1 short ball on the stumps. Simi pulls and looks to retain the strike by taking a couple. The throw from de Leede is close to the stumps and it does matter a lot in the end as Simi's bat was raised above the line and glove was grounded, but it was behind the line. Superb throw and the keeper whips the bails off 186/946.2 fuller ball down the leg stump it seemed. The umpire took some time to decide and raised the dreaded finger. McBrine reviews immediately . On the replays it seems more closer than what it seemed in real time. Ball tracking confirms that the ball was just hitting the leg stump and it's umpire's call. Ireland have three more wickets in hand but Netherlands are sneaking back in 178/746.5 and that's the eighth wicket as Seelar tosses it up and McCarthy can't quite resist the temptation as he drives it straight into the hands of the fielder at short cover. van Beek dives to his left and takes the catch 178/8Extras24 (b 1, lb 3, nb 1, w 19)TOTAL194/9 (50 Overs, RR: 3.88)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (William Porterfield, 1.1 ov), 2-9 (Andy Balbirnie, 1.4 ov), 3-11 (Harry Tector, 2.4 ov), 4-43 (George Dockrell, 13.5 ov), 5-69 (Lorcan Tucker, 21.6 ov), 6-135 (Paul Stirling, 36.6 ov), 7-178 (Andy McBrine, 46.2 ov), 8-178 (Barry McCarthy, 46.5 ov), 9-186 (Simi Singh, 49.1 ov)
