Back to back fifties for Virat Kohli.
He's quite good, isn't he?
Target 180
Another lovely shot from Max O'Dowd, flicking the ball past square leg for four.
Mohammad Shami's first over goes for eight.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is doing a stellar job, as usual, at the top of the innings.
Target 180
Another maiden from Bhuvneshwar Kumar but more interestingly, we've just seen someone being fed some cake in the crowd.
Each to their own, I guess.
(My colleague Callum reckons it's a cookies and cream cake, if anyone's interested).

The length and line was too good for Singh, he didn't have the answers.

One off nine, that isn't a great knock. His innings never really got going I'm afraid.
Singh b Kumar 1 (Ned 11-1)
Top of off stump and Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the first.
Vikram Singh never got going, it was a struggle for that solitary run. Kumar persists with a perfect line and length and it's a loose shot from Singh, trying to pull a delivery that was nowhere near short enough.
Kumar is yet to concede a run...

That is a lovely shot. He was just waiting for that delivery and played it late. That is a tick.
Target 180
Oh, lovely! Another glorious cover drive for four, timed to perfection from O'Dowd.
Earlier this week, Max O'Dowd revealed his game plan for this fixture...

And there are the first runs, Max O'Dowd driving Arshdeep Singh's first ball to the cover boundary.
Suryakumar Yadav was an absolute delight to watch for India.
A six from the final ball of the innings to reach his fifty.
Henry Moeran
BBC Test Match Special commentator
There is the lesser-spotted maiden.
Target 180
A maiden to start.
Just what you want when you're chasing 180.
Target 180
Full, straight and solid in defence from Vikram Singh.

If you didn't know that you were at the SCG, you'd think you were at one of the grounds in India with the sea of blue and this atmosphere. It's amazing.
So here come the Dutch openers, Vikram Singh and the long-haired big hitter Max O'Dowd.
It is absolutely heaving with Indian support at Sydney, but what an experience for them. It'll be Bhuvneshwar Kumar to take the first over.

Fair play to the Netherlands, they really stuck it out. They started really well, but will be a bit disappointed with the finish, it just got away from them.
Thanks, Callum.
So Netherlands will need a rather challenging 180 to win, but they did bowl better than that scorecard suggests.
They were up against two incredible players in peak form.
India will be strong favourites to successfully defend their 179-2 and make it from two from two.
Ffion Wynne will talk you through the chase.
