  1. 6 runs

    Ban 17-1

    Two, four, six!

    Tanzid starts Kingma's second over with a mistimed pull over the fielder ring. He makes a cleaner connection from the following ball, turning another bouncer around over short fine leg and to the boundary.

    The final shot is the best of the lot, shifting his feet to make room and lifting the ball over the cover ropes.

    This World Cup with the lower totals should suit Bangladesh, who are used to chasing or defending low totals in Dhaka etc.

  3. Ban 5-1

    Litton Das walks to the crease earlier that he might have hoped, and gets a single straight away with a push square.

    Both these sides played their opening two matches in the USA and I'm not sure I saw spin in the powerplay in any of the matches I covered there.

    In the Caribbean? Different ball game.

    It's held a bit off the pitch and for the ball to go slowly to slip off a reverse sweep suggests he didn't get much bat on it.

    WICKET

    Shanto c Singh b Dutt 1 (Ban 3-1)

    Spin from the second over, and the Netherlands have their reward within two balls!

    It's Aryan Dutt, in the side for the first time in this tournament, who has the wicket. Shanto tries an expansive reverse sweep and is only able to turn the ball into the hands of Vikram Singh at slip.

    Dreadful shot from the captain, to be honest.

    Former Netherlands all-rounder on BBC Sounds

    We're already seeing some indifferent bounce which is not uncommon on surfaces which have been under the covers.

  7. Ban 3-0

    Bangladesh get off the mark with a leg bye and wide, before Shanto gets a single off the bat out to point.

  8. Tanzid Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto are out in the middle, Vivian Kingma has the ball in hand.

    Time to get going.

  9. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    This is a wonderful setting, with the ground next to the sea. You could almost hit a six into the water.

  10. The teams are out for the anthems and the sun is shining down.

    We're not far away.

  11. Ryan ten Doeschate
    Former Netherlands all-rounder on BBC Sounds

    This is a great opportunity for the Dutch - the progress they have shown on a continual basis in the last five years is brilliant and you go into matches like this knowing that if they win, it won't be such a surprise.

  12. Teams

    Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Litton Das (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Mahmudullah, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman

    Netherlands: Michael Levitt, Max O'Dowd, Vikram Singh, SA Engelbrecht, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards (c)(wk), Logan van Beek, Tim Pringle, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren, Vivian Kingma

    Bangladesh are unchanged, while the Dutch have brought in Aryan Dutt for Teja Nidamanuru.

  13. 'It looks a good wicket'

    Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto: "I don't mind batting first, it looks a good wicket. With the new ball we'll have to be a little bit more careful.

    "Rishad is very exciting, we've struggled with leg-spinners, we've got one and he's done a good job.

    "We haven't made any changes, we're playing the same eleven."

  14. 'None of the teams know the conditions'

    Netherlands captain Scott Edwards: "We're bowling first because none of the teams know the conditions because there haven't been any international games here. We're looking forward to it."

  15. Netherlands win the toss and bowl

    Netherlands captain Scott Edwards has won the toss and is going to have a bowl at the Arnos Vale Stadium.

  16. How about this for one from the archives? England's Geoffrey Boycott and wicketkeeper David Bairstow, father of Jonny, practise in St Vincent on England's tour of the Caribbean in 1981.

  17. The World Cup has brought international cricket back to St Vincent for the first in ten years, with the last match at this ground played in September 2014.

    The match has never played host to a Caribbean Premier League game either, so both sides will walk out with very little knowledge of how the pitch will play.

  18. Toss at 15:30 BST

    The weather has cleared up a little in St Vincent and we've got a time for the toss - it will go ahead at 15:30 BST, with the match set to start 15 minutes later.

    We won't lose any overs if that all remains the case.

  19. While we wait for this delayed toss, let's take a look back.

    Bangladesh had a tense encounter with South Africa in New York on Monday, losing by a mere four runs.

    Two days earlier the Netherlands had their own close run thing against the Proteas at the same ground.

    The Dutch reduced their opponents to 12-4 in the chase before David Miller and Tristan Stubbs saw the South Africans home.

  20. Bit of a mood spoiler to start you off, I'm afraid.

    It's raining in St Vincent, with the ground staff out pegging down some plastic sheeting over the square.

    It's also pretty blustery, and pundits at the ground seem confident any rain squalls will blow over.
