- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR38.3 That's a crucial breakthrough! Miscues the sweep and it goes straight into the hands of Masakadza who didn't have to move a muscle to gobble it up! Raza with arms aloft and lets a roar as they finally get some relief. Vikramjit wasn't under control while playing this sweep, top edge fountained straight up and fell into the fielder's hands 223/320.2 And it's that man Raza that gets the breakthrough! This was pushed through flatter outside off, and quite full. O'Dowd goes back and looks to dab this behind point but only ends up chopping this on. He is livid with himself. 120/122.2 And Raza has another, cleans him up! Barresi goes for yet another pre-meditated switch hit, but Raza spots it and fires this in full just outside off. Barresi gets an under edge onto the stumps. 127/247.6 Leg stump has been flattened! Ngarava bowls a blistering yorker on leg, watched him shuffle across for a scoop and adjusted his line beautifully. But take a bow, it has been a gem of an innings from Edwards, he has put his team in a strong position! Receives a warm applause from his teammates 297/640.4 Castled! Raza snags another wicket with a beauty, it's a crackerjack! Zips it in quicker on a nagging length and it spins back just enough to go through his defence, the middle stump has been flattened and Raza is absolutely delighted. Pull shot horribly gone wrong 237/441.2 Oh, wow! You can do no wrong Ngarawa! Follows it up with another cracking delivery, fast and furious, bowls another thunderbolt on a fraction shorter length and it's nibbling away, tempting him to go for the cut, he obliges and hands a simple chance to Ervine at cover! Wonderful bowling!

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR20.5 Gets the breakthrough! And Gumbie's luck finally runs out! This was the googly, pushed through flatter and quicker on a length. Gumbie doesn't pick it as he goes back and gets cramped for space. Looks to cut it, but along with it keeping a touch low, only manages to chop it on 142/213.3 Getting a bit too audacious, shuffles across the line and miscues it down to Floyd at mid-on position, he takes an absolute stunner while charging in, goes airborne and plucks it out of thin air. Vikram gets the big fish and this is exactly what Netherlands required at this stage, was too early through the shot and got the cue-end of the bat 80/134.1 Spears it on a shorter length and angled into the body, he languidly moves to the leg side and the ball got big on him, finds himself in a tangle, goes for the pull, it gets the elevation but not the distance and Williams knew he miscued that shot the moment it thudded on the bat. He is absolutely gutted with himself as the fielder at deep backward square reverse cups it, as easy as you like. Leede manages to uncouple the set pair and here is a chance to create some panic 246/424.1 But the drop doesn't end up costing the Dutch! This was short of a length outside off, and Madhevere slashes hard at this cut. Ends up slicing it straight to short third, who gobbles it up! 162/3Extras10 (b 4, lb 1, w 5)TOTAL319/4 (40.5 Overs, RR: 7.81)Fall of wickets: 1-80 (Craig Ervine, 13.3 ov), 2-142 (Joylord Gumbie, 20.5 ov), 3-162 (Wessly Madhevere, 24.1 ov), 4-246 (Sean Williams, 34.1 ov)
