    28.1 Saqib has two! King bites the dust as well! Quicker and flatter, and it looks like King has played the trajectory here rather than the length. Goes back to a length delivery he should have been forward to and is trapped on the crease. The ball fizzes through, goes past the bat and thuds into the pads. The umpire raises his finger and Netherlands are absolutely elated, as is Saqib, who has broken this game open! 163/3
    17.2 now Edwards is excited for the third ball in a row, and the umpire gives it out. Slower ball on a length, and Charles is foxed. Pitched on middle and leg, and headed straight down rather than angling in. Charles tried to flick but missed, and was leg before wicket. Solid stand is broken 101/1
    26.6 huge appeal, and given! Saqib breaks through! Very full delivery on middle and leg stump, and playing a sweep to that length and that line is always dangerous. Brooks goes for it anyway but seems to pick a delivery that is just a tad fuller than he would have wanted. Swipes across the line and misses as the ball pins him on the front pad. The umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger either! 160/2
    40.6 taken at long-on! The longer boundary comes into play. Hope looked to keep swinging, but this time found the fielder. It was a length ball all right, and angling into middle and leg. He cleared his front leg to heave across, and even timed it well. But it didn't have the distance to clear the longer boundary 271/4

    41.2 gone first ball! Leading edge chipped back to the bowler. Two wickets in quick succession for Netherlands. Shepherd was across his stumps early, almost opening himself up in his stance. The ball was on a length, and angling in to end on middle and leg. He closed the bat face early - not sure if the slowness of the pitch, or a possible variation from the bowler had a role - as the leading edge saw the bowler gobble one to his right 272/5
    43.2 tickled to the keeper! Holder doesn't want to walk back, hanging on as if he hopes for this to be a no-ball. The ball was short and wide of off, as he looked to slash away from his body, and with a flat bat. But the ball angled away after pitching, as a thick edge went to the keeper, who took a reverse cup in front of his head 295/6

    12.5 Chase has another! Given just a bit of air on a full length on off stump. Vikramjit has a massive hack across the line and tries to tonk it into tomorrow. He is not quite to the pitch of the ball, though, and is also beaten in the air. Has to fetch it and ends up slicing it miles into the air. Pooran settles under it at deep mid wicket and completes a superb catch! 90/2
    10.4 straight to the fielder! Length delivery outside off stump. O'Dowd, trying to put pressure on Chase, goes for the reverse sweep. Gets a decent chunk of it but does not get the required elevation to clear short third man. Hits it straight down Hosein's throat and that is a much-needed breakthrough for the West Indies! 76/1
    21.2 nudged to the slip fielder! Good catch by the tall Holder tumbling low to his right. Hosein pitched it on a good length - certainly fuller than the previous ball - while landing it on an off-stump line. There was some turn away from the right-hander, with Barresi opening the bat face to try and steer the ball behind the wicket while being stuck on the crease, only to edge it to slip 128/3
    29.1 edged behind! Hosein strikes again. A full ball angled in, and dipping on off stump, as de Leede tried to push forward at it with an open face of the bat. There was turn there, and the outside edge landed in the gloves of Hope, who did well to anticipate it to his right. De Leede goes after a steady innings 170/4
    45.6 Holder gets Nidamanuru! Is that the game? Very full delivery on middle and off stump. Nidamanuru tries to be too cute and funky and looks for the reverse scoop. Makes a right mess of it, though, and he lobs the ball up towards short third man. Chase takes a couple of paces to his left and for a change, the West Indies hold onto a chance! But hang on...the third umpire is checking to see if Holder has overstepped. Oh my word, that is touch-and-go. If Holder has managed to avoid the No ball, it is by very little. The third umpire has multiple looks at it before concluding that Holder has done just enough! 327/7
    44.1 oh my! Edwards has spooned this straight to the bowler! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that sticks in the surface just a shade. Edwards shuffles across and tries to nudge it into the leg side. He closes his bat face early, though, and because of the slowness of the ball, he gets a leading edge that pops up to Chase, who makes no mistake! Massive, massive moment in the game! 313/5
    45.4 dropped but there is a run out at the bowler's end! It is all happening at Takashinga! Gentle full toss outside off stump that Nidamanuru could have hit onto the road. Instead, he splices it straight back to Holder, who then puts down an absolute dolly. While the ball is in the air, Saqib has meandered down the track, meaning that Holder, moments after dropping the catch, can redeem himself by running Saqib out at the bowler's end! 325/6
    49.6 Holder flings himself to his right and pouches it! We have a tie, oh my word! THIS. IS. UNBELIEVABLE! More drama as the third umpire is checking whether it is a No ball. The third umpire is satisfied, and Joseph has ensured this game has ended in a tie, with a massive helping hand from Holder! Back of a length outside off stump. van Beek tries to muscle it over mid on but does not get the contact he is after. Splices it towards mid on, where Holder dives full-length to his right and snares it! 374/9
    49.3 slices it and taken at long off! 100th ODI wicket for Joseph and what a time to get it! Length delivery outside off stump. Dutt tries to tonk it into tomorrow to seal the deal but loses his shape ever so slightly. Ends up slicing it and Paul at long off does the rest! 371/8
