  1. 6 runs

    Ind 63-1

    Rohit Sharma has flicked a switch.

    He latches onto some width and cuts away for four, before an outrageously flamboyant flick brings him six over fine leg.

    The India fans have found their voice again.

    He could have made it to that catch, if we're being brutally honest.

  3. Daniel Norcross

    Oh, that is an astounding piece of work. My money was on the ball reaching the boundary all the way.

    You won't see much better than that.

  4. Ind 53-1

    Oh, that is superb.

    Virat Kohli gets to the pitch of the ball and plays a gorgeous drive, but Bas de Leede comes hurtling round, dives at full stretch to prevent the boundary.

    He even manages to grab his cab to stop that going too far away from him.

    Rohit Sharma then plays another top-edge pull, but it again falls in the middle of nowhere. He's getting some luck.

    How many balls are you giving it until Rohit Sharma charges and tries to hit him out of the ground?

  6. More spin for the Netherlands as Shariz Ahmad comes into the attack.

    Rohit Sharma, my word. He is living a charmed life.

  8. Ind 48-1

    Decent over for India, with 10 runs coming off it.

    Rohit Sharma clubbed the fourth ball over long-on for six, but almost gets caught hooking over the final ball.

    It's been a peculiar innings from him so far.

  9. Not out

    Yeah, it clearly comes off the bottom of the glove.

    Rohit was looking to sweep away, and was early on the shot, but it flicks off the glove on its way to fine leg.

    KL Rahul didn't get a chance to review but Rohit Sharma is the captain, so he goes for it!

  11. India review

    Hello! Michael Gough has given Rohit Sharma out lbw, but the India captain sends it upstairs immediately.

    Gough doesn't get many wrong at all.

    Has this hit the glove or bat though?

  12. India skipper Rohit Sharma has struggled so far, but this was an almighty shot.

  13. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    I think Netherlands would be delighted if you gave them 38-1 after seven overs before the game started.

  14. Ind 38-1

    Is that a drop? Is it a bump ball?

    My initial reaction was bump ball as Virat Kohli looks to drive Tim Pringle along, but the commentary team think it may have actually been a catching opportunity. Hard to tell from the replay, because it was from that terrible spider cam.

    It feels like it has quietened down a little bit at the SCG. That is credit to the Netherlands.

  15. Here's how KL Rahul was out.

    Shoulda sent it upstairs.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    There is a long way to go but the Dutch have handled themselves really well here. It's been a good start.

  17. Ind 32-1

    We've just seen a replay of the KL Rahul wicket. It was going down the leg side so the opener should have reviewed. It just didn't feel right live.

    Rohit Sharma is fortunate again, as he flicks just short of short fine leg. The India captain hasn't got going yet. He's made a run-a-ball 16.

    End of the powerplay. Decent start from the Netherlands.

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    I like that the bowler has gone up to him and shaken his hand. Tim Pringle is 20 years old, he will never have played in a game like this before or in front of a crowd like this.

    If your players are having a go at you for making a mistake, that's not going to make it any easier.

  19. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Oh, that is a horrible moment. He is being consoled by his team mates but that really should have been taken.

  20. dropped catch

    Rohit dropped on 13

    Oh no. This could prove very, very costly.

    Fred Klaassen's knuckle ball deceives Rohit Sharma and he shanks his shot towards Tim Pringle at mid-on.

    Pringle gets there, takes the catch but his right hand almost scoops the ball out of his left hand.

    It's a poor drop truth be told, but Klaassen, goes up to Pringle, who is only 20, to give him a pat on the back. That's good from the bowler.
