- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.6 hoisted straight up in the air! Oh Jonny, he's given it away! Flops onto the back foot, unleashes a half-formed paddle-sweep from an upright position - not unlike Maxwell's cramp-induced flogging last night - but the execution is way off, Dutt finds some overspin and extra bounce, and short backward square swallows the lobbed offering! 48/121.6 Run-out appeal, sent upstairs. Length at the stumps, Malan pushed it a few metres to the right of van Beek at cover point and took off. Stokes, who was mostly unmoved, sent him back but after Malan was a third of the way down. He charged back and put in the dive but his bat was on the crease as Edwards whipped the bails off. Great throw from van Beek too. Low to the left of Edwards, who squatted low and swooshed his hands in one motion. No ton for Malan. 139/320.2 Root's average on the reverse scoop takes a hit as do his stumps, van Beek nutmegs him off a back of a length and the stumps fly. Root telegraphed the shot, stood laterally with feet relatively wide apart and tried to go over third. Ball didn't bounce as much as he expected. Root tried to jam his feet together but it was too late, the ball flicked the inside of his thigh pad and scooted through. 133/249.4 smashed to long-off! Stokes swings hard once more, but can't connect cleanly through the slower ball. One hand comes off the bat, as the ball skews off a closed face, high to Engelbrecht, inside the rope. A mighty innings comes to an end 334/926.5 Splices a pull, Ackermann runs in from deep square leg and settles under... and takes it. Dug deep into the pitch by de Leede, it was on the fifth-stump line and Brook tried to whack it across. Went hard, got it off the upper-half of the bat, bottom hand came off right after impact as well. Netherlands have taken 3 for 31 to peg England right back. 164/430.1 Buttler's horror tournament continues, tries to launch it off a length but ends up toeing it to mid-off. It was on off stump, 133ks, and he tried to power it through, bat turned outwards in his hand and he loses power. Van Meekeran backtracks a step or two and takes it above his shoulders. Buttler's first attempt to break through is his last for the day. 178/535.2 so limp from Moeen! Looped up from round the wicket, he leans into a lofted drive, gets neither power nor placement through the stroke. A powder-puff launch, floats to long-off as if on a parachute, which is much as this innings now is. 192/648.4 huge wipe through the full length, a thin nick as Woakes loses his shape on the aggressive mow. Edwards snaffles the edge to end a fine innings and a crucial stand 321/748.6 full length, belted straight at long-on! It was a shot to nothing, with Stokes on strike for the final over - much like Archer in the World Cup final... and similarly it doesn't come off. A comfortable chest-high take inside the rope. Six and out! 327/8Extras21 (nb 1, w 20)TOTAL339/9 (50 Overs, RR: 6.78)Fall of wickets: 1-48 (Jonny Bairstow, 6.6 ov), 2-133 (Joe Root, 20.2 ov), 3-139 (Dawid Malan, 21.6 ov), 4-164 (Harry Brook, 26.5 ov), 5-178 (Jos Buttler, 30.1 ov), 6-192 (Moeen Ali, 35.2 ov), 7-321 (Chris Woakes, 48.4 ov), 8-327 (David Willey, 48.6 ov), 9-334 (Ben Stokes, 49.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.3 Uh oh, this could be out... it is out! Barresi taps a single to the on-side, hurtles through for the first run, sets off for the second, the return comes in to Moeen at the non-striker's end as he is sent back with a yes-no-yes-no, and off come the bails with the batter sprawling for his crease, a good two feet short. Ten run-outs now for the Netherlands in this campaign 68/34.5 Soft dismissal, O'Dowd has chipped it straight to mid-on. Length around off, may have shaped away just a bit but not enough to trouble the batter. He was a bit half-hearted with the flick, got the wrists rolling but had no follow-through. He was standing tall and ended up chipping it rather than hitting it to ground. Went straight to Ali, who was standing in close. 12/15.4 Willey threatens to swing but doesn't to nick off Ackermann. It was on a length, landed around off and went away. Ackermann tried to push it with a straight-ish bat and there was a clicking sound as the ball passed bat. 13/222.4 slapped through the line, holes out to mid-on! Willey hits his length once more, Engelbrecht looks to donk him over the top, but can't get the elevation to clear Woakes, who reaches up to gather. 97 wickets and counting... 90/433.5 Toes it to mid-off. Moeen has his first wicket of the tournament. Edwards charged down the ground, got close to the pitch and tried to pump it downtown. But his bat face opened on impact and it skewed to the fielder, who reverse cupped it 163/625.3 Bowled him this time! 88kph, that's Rashid's quickest of his spell, out of the front of the hand on a tight wicket-to-wicket line, de Leede rocks back for another cut but it's onto him too soon, under-edged into his boot and onto the leg stump 104/534.5 Balloons a sweep to short fine leg. It was wide on a fullish length, van Beek tried to drag it across with a hard sweep. Rolled his wrist and tried to keep it low but it popped off the edge anyway. Second catch for Malan in two overs, this one a proper dolly 166/735.4 Spoons a reverse sweep to short third. On a length at the stumps, Roelof twisted around and drove the bat with power, got done by the slowness of the ball. It popped off the gloves and then bat, ballooned straight to the fielder 167/836.4 Googly goes through him. Tossed up deliciously around off, Dutt was drawn forward and tried to drive through extra, left a gate between bat and pad. Rashid went through and hit the stumps. 174/937.2 Stumped by a mile, England wrap up a 160-run win. Wide on a length, very slow, van Meekeren pursued the temptation, tried to lash it over mid-off but the flight and lack of pace had him play too early. Buttler took sweet time to whip off the bails. Did it with the second swoosh of the gloves in fact.
