- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.6 Bas de Leede strikes in his first over. Short of length outside off. McBride goes for the pull and ends up hitting it straight to short midwicket 46/20.4 the off stump goes cartwheeling. A length ball, perhaps slightly on the shorter side, but nipping back sharply this time. Cross' bat came down at an angle, creating a huge gap between bat and pad. And the ball sneaked through that to hit the top of off stump 1/137.2 an appeal for caught-behind. Not given but Edwards wants to review it. Was a length ball at the stumps. McMullen looked to work it behind point but the ball moved away just enough to take a faint outside edge - the UltraEdge confirms that - and McMullen will have to walk back 201/414.5 Shortens his length, he is strangled down the leg side, keeper is convinced he gloved it but no reaction from Munsey. They decide to take second opinion. There is a slight murmur on the ultra edge as he attempts to pull, catch is safely pouched and the third umpire decides there is enough evidence to change the on-field decision. Netherlands get the crucial breakthrough because he is a dangerous customer! 64/344.1 the middle stump is out of its grove. Was a length ball at the stumps. Berrington was always leg side of the ball and looked to push at it. But the ball just held its line to beat the outside edge and take out the middle stump 234/639.4 Klein strikes again, leaving Leask's stumps in a disarray. Leask charged down the track to a length ball at the stumps, and looked to heave it across the line. He missed and the ball crashed into middle and leg stumps 207/548.3 full and straight. Greaves looks to hit it across the line. Misses and the stumps are a mess. The fourth wicket for de Leede 264/748.4 No, he cannot. Was one of the slowest bouncers I have ever seen. Watt had no idea what was happening as the ball looped in the air. He held his bat up like a periscope. The ball reached there after what felt like and eternity and de Leede caught the rebound. A five-for for him, and he is on a hat-trick< 264/849.6 another slower one. A length ball outside off, Sharif almost swings himself off his feet, as he misses the ball. Edwards too fails to collect it cleanly, allowing the batters to attempt a bye, but he recovers quickly, and throws it with his left hand. The bowler was in front of the stumps but turns around to break the wicket to find Sharif short of his crease 277/9Extras7 (lb 2, w 5)TOTAL277/9 (50 Overs, RR: 5.54)Did not bat: CB SoleFall of wickets: 1-1 (Matthew Cross, 0.4 ov), 2-46 (Christopher McBride, 10.6 ov), 3-64 (George Munsey, 14.5 ov), 4-201 (Brandon McMullen, 37.2 ov), 5-207 (Michael Leask, 39.4 ov), 6-234 (Richie Berrington, 44.1 ov), 7-264 (Chris Greaves, 48.3 ov), 8-264 (Mark Watt, 48.4 ov), 9-277 (Safyaan Sharif, 49.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR14.5 full on the stumps. Vikramjit misses the sweep and gets hit on the pads. Given lbw but he wants to review it. If there was no bat involved, this looks out. Nothing on the UltraEdge. It pitched around middle, and hit him in front of middle and the ball-tracking says it would have crashed into middle and leg 72/212.4 that looks out, and is given. Was a length ball at the stumps. O'Dowd looked to work it towards square leg but missed and got hit on the front pad. O'Dowd had a chat with his partner before deciding to review it, just in time. There was no inside edge. The ball pitched just outside off and would have hit the top of middle, the umpire's call on that, which means it stays out 65/119.4 slightly fuller than good length around off. Barresi looks to chip it over mid-on but ends up hitting it towards short midwicket. McBride hops and catches it in front of his face 94/342.2 Oh, that's a magnificent yorker dipping in, he digs it out towards short midwicket, de Leede stops a little and the fielder hits a bull's eye, he is not waiting for the third umpire and going back to the pavilion. Excellent fielding from Sharif 276/623.3 Looked like a googly. Once again on the shorter side. Nidamanuru goes back and looks to hit it aerially towards deep midwicket. Instead he ends up hitting towards long-on where Munsey pedals back to complete the catch 108/430.5 Tossed up on a full length, straightens a touch on middle and thumps his pads, huge shout for an lbw and they get into a long consultation before deciding to send it upstairs in the dying moments of the DRS timer. There is no contact between bat and ball, pitching outside off, impact in line and wickets hitting! What's a review! Such a crucial breakthrough. Scotland have managed to break this increasingly irksome partnership at a crucial juncture of a game. Just when Netherlands were getting back into the game and runs were flowing, Scotland have come right back in the game! 163/5Extras15 (b 1, lb 4, nb 3, w 7)TOTAL278/6 (42.5 Overs, RR: 6.49)Fall of wickets: 1-65 (Max O'Dowd, 12.4 ov), 2-72 (Vikramjit Singh, 14.5 ov), 3-94 (Wesley Barresi, 19.4 ov), 4-108 (Teja Nidamanuru, 23.3 ov), 5-163 (Scott Edwards, 30.5 ov), 6-276 (Bas de Leede, 42.2 ov)
