  1. Pak 30-1

    Target 92

    Oof, no real footwork but pure power from Mohammad Rizwan as he smacks a juicy half-volley from Paul van Meekeren through mid-on and away for four.

    Fakhar Zaman is making his intent known. He looks determined not to waste his opportunity.

    Klaassen is serving up some half-volleys in these first couple of overs. He hasn't got his line and length right at all, but that was a gorgeous shot.

  4. Pak 26-1

    Fakhar Zaman is the new batter and he hammers his first delivery from Fredrick Klaassen through the covers for four.

    Two balls later Klaassen strays down leg again and Fakhar clips off his pads through square leg for another boundary.

    Klaassen is 0-21 from his two overs so far.

    Cricket is a cruel, cruel game. The fielder had one stump to aim at and having to run around the bowler has cost Babar Azam.

    WICKET

    Azam run out (van der Merwe) 4 (Pak 16-1)

    It is out! Babar Azam was well short of his crease. A great piece of fielding by Roelof van der Merwe.

    Babar Azam's struggles continue. Netherlands are jubilant.

  7. Nicky Shaw

    This is very close.

  8. Ben Cameron

    I think this is out.

  9. Umpire review

    Oh, is Babar Azam in trouble here?

    Pakistan went for a quick single but a direct hit from Roelof van der Merwe leaves him struggling.

    The umpire sends it upstairs.

  10. Ben Cameron

    Babar Azam chancing his arm and finding the boundary.

  11. Pak 16-0

    Babar Azam finally gets to face a ball. It is banged in short by Paul van Meekeren but Babar plays a lovely top-edge that fizzes over the wicketkeeper for four.

    The Pakistan opener has struggled for form this tournament so will see this as a great opportunity to get some runs on the board.

    After that first over, Pakistan look like they're going to canter to this win.

  13. Pak 11-0

    Mohammad Rizwan retains the strike with a single off the last ball.

    Paul van Meekeren will open the bowling at the other end.

  14. Nicky Shaw
    England World Cup winner on BBC Test Match Special

    If Netherlands bowl like that then I think this might be over a bit quicker than expected.

  15. Pak 6-0

    Mohammad Rizwan digs a full delivery out into the leg-side to get off the mark with a two.

    Next ball Rizwan smacks a fiull toss straight down the ground for four.

    Pakistan clearly want to get on with this.

  16. Pakistan's openers Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam stride out to the middle. Fred Klaassen will open the bowling for the Netherlands.

    Let's go...

  17. Good news. The rain has stopped and the clouds have moved on. We should be ready to go shortly.

  18. Nicky Shaw

    At the moment, the umpires are in the middle having a bit of a mothers meeting to figure out which way the wind is blowing. But that cloud is barely visible now.

  19. It's raining

    Would you believe it, it's raining in Perth.

    BUT it is extremely light and the strong breeze should mean the clouds pass over the stadium pretty quickly. The covers are not even being put on. I don't think the delay will be too long.

  20. Thanks, Sam.

    Well, that was a tough afternoon for the Netherlands to say the least. There were only five fours in the entire innings. Just two players reached double figures and there were an incredible 63 dot balls.

    92 is the target. You'd think Pakistan have enough batting prowess to knock those runs off, but you never know.
