    Ned 62-3

    Oh, tough chance! Tim Cooper drives one firmly back towards the bowler, who sticks out a hand but the ball doesn't stick.

    They run two and Axar Patel finishes with excellent figures of 2-18.

    It has been absolutely brilliant to be at this game. The crowd has been absolutely amazing. It has been a remarkable experience.

  3. Ned 56-3published at 11 overs

    Target 180

    Colin Ackermann is swinging but going nowhere. Ravichandran Ashwin whizzes through another rapid over and the result just feels inevitable now.

    The atmosphere though, is still as loud as if it were a last-ball thriller.

    The chase was always going to be tough for the Netherlands and India have given absolutely nothing away.

    Halfway through the chase and the India fans are still absolutely bouncing in the crowd.

    Netherlands probably won't get anywhere near 180 but they have held their own brilliantly, especially in the field.

    It was a wide delivery, almost on the wide line, and the batter had to take it on but got a thick edge.

    De Leede c Hardik b Axar 16 (Ned 47-3)

    Well, Bas de Leede tries to accelerate the scoring but can only slice the ball straight to point.

    It's a wide ball and probably should've been hit to the boundary, but Hardik Pandya takes a simple catch just over his head.

    Netherlands aren't miles behind where India were, but India were able to accelerate.

  10. Ned 47-2published at 9 overs

    Target 180

    Shot! Bas de Leede, struggling on 11 from 18 balls, has had enough and charges at Ashwin's second ball, thumping it for four.

    Need a few more of those.

  11. Ned 41-2published at 8 overs

    Target 180

    It's a struggle for the Netherlands, India are applying the pressure.

    The Netherlands will probably get beaten by a fair margin tonight, but they've impressed me a lot more than Bangladesh did earlier.

  13. Ned 36-2published at 7 overs

    Target 180

    Hardik Pandya's first over goes for nine and Netherlands aren't taking any risks at the moment. But they're going to have to do something if they want to get close to 180.

    Not really going anywhere.

    The worm shows Netherlands are five runs behind India. Netherlands are 33 for 2 after 7 overs. At the same stage India were 38 for 1.

    Ahh, a proposal in the crowd.

    She said yes, how lovely.

    At the same stage India were 32-1 so the Netherlands aren't very far behind, but they don't have a Virat Kohli.

  16. Ned 27-2published at 6 overs

    Target 180

    The ground fielding on display today has been exceptional.

    Bas de Leede pulls firmly out towards the mid-wicket boundary and the ball looks destined to go for four, but it just hauled in by a full-length diving save from KL Rahul.

    India in control at the end of the powerplay.

  17. Ned 22-2published at 5 overs

    Target 180

    Three runs and a wicket from Axar Patel's first over.

    Not bad.

    The idea was a good one, but the execution wasn't good.

    Max O'Dowd played some nice strokes in that innings, but that was a risky shot and as soon as he missed there was only going to be one outcome.

    O'Dowd b Azar 16 (Ned 20-2)

    Oh, Max O'Dowd. That's not playing straight!

    He tries to sweep Axar Patel's second ball, shuffling across onto his off stump, but is absolutely nowhere near it and clean bowled.

    India are in control.
