- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.3 oh, great catch. Van der Merwe with a stunner. Gayle miscued this fuller ball off the toe-end and van der Merwe runs a good distance sideways from mid-off. That must have been more than half the length of a swimming pool before getting right under it and snaffling it. Tumbles over as he completes it 85/127.2 What a catch! Flying screamer at point. Short outside off, and he cuts square. Hit well, but Sielaar dives to his left and takes a one-handed stunner. Lewis has to go after a well-made 84 164/316.6 got him. Hetmyer slips as he gets down to sweep. Really had no room and he skews it in the air off the top-edge to short third man 123/232.5 yorked! Full on middle stump and the ball gets under Hope's bat. Tries to drive inside out, but the ball sneaks through. Big celebration for van der Merwe 186/435.4 another one-handed stunner! This time it's van der Merwe. Slower ball full outside off. Holder tries to drive, but he's through his shot early. Takes the leading edge to point, and the fielder jumps and collects this from over his head. Stuck his hand out and the ball stayed put 205/547.1 pulled well, but that's the long end! Holes out in the deep. Short on leg stump, and Powell pulls this well to the leg side, but the boundary is over 70metres long there. Second fifty-plus score for Powell in as many games 304/6Extras28 (lb 10, nb 1, w 17)TOTAL309/6 (48 Overs, RR: 6.43)Fall of wickets: 1-85 (Chris Gayle, 8.3 ov), 2-123 (Shimron Hetmyer, 16.6 ov), 3-164 (Evin Lewis, 27.2 ov), 4-186 (Shai Hope, 32.5 ov), 5-205 (Jason Holder, 35.4 ov), 6-304 (Rovman Powell, 47.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR23.4 Direct hit! He's in trouble. Cut to the man in the deep, but Barresi calls for the second and he's short! Rocket throw from the deep 142/35.5 total miscommunication. Edwards has no chance of making it back. Just short of a length and straightening around middle, Barresi taps to midwicket and sets off. An unsuspecting Edwards responds only to be sent back very late as Barresi bails out of the run. No chance of a recovery 25/16.6 off-stump pegged back. Roach brings it into the left-hander at pace and Cooper pays the price for leaving a gap between bat and pad as the ball sneaks through 29/224.3 Is that a run out off the free hit?! What a disaster if true. Full and wide outside off, skies his drive towards cover. Catch taken, and thrown at the non-striker's. And Brathwaite dislodges the bails! Netherlands lose a wicket off the only way they could've 147/425.4 stumped! Just the variation to go away from van der Merwe. Good length outside off, and turns away with the batsman shimmying down the wicket. Easily done by the keeper 151/528.4 another one falls with the rain imminent. Netherlands in a position from where there could be no recovery. Slower ball, Seelaar chips it in the air after completely misreading the pace. Gayle didn't have to move an inch at midwicket 167/5Extras23 (b 1, lb 7, nb 3, w 12)TOTAL167/6 (28.4 Overs, RR: 5.82)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Scott Edwards, 5.5 ov), 2-29 (Ben Cooper, 6.6 ov), 3-142 (Wesley Barresi, 23.4 ov), 4-147 (Peter Borren, 24.3 ov), 5-151 (Roelof van der Merwe, 25.4 ov), 6-167 (Pieter Seelaar, 28.4 ov)

Match Coverage
All Match NewsLewis 84 puts Netherlands out of Super Sixes
A 113-run stand between Wesley Barresi and Ryan ten Doeschate kept Netherlands in the hunt in their chase of 310, but a string of run outs pegged them back and left them well short of the DLS par score when rain brought the contest to a premature halt
