  1. Ned 197-9

    Need 90 off 63 balls

    Maybe this isn't over.

    There's two singles before Logan van Beek smacks a straight drive away to the boundary.

    Lovely shot.

  2. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    Lovely shot, lovely hands through the ball.

  3. Kevin Howells
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Paul van Meekeren will enjoy that. Take that!

  4. Ned 191-9

    Need 96 from from 66 balls

    Paul van Meekeren is loving a chat here.

    It's Haris Rauf's turn to get some from the Dutch number 11.

    There's a little bit back but Van Meekeren wins the battle for now with a sliced four to point.

    More words follow.

  5. Haris Rauf is back on.

    Babar Azam wants this over.

  6. Abhishek Jhunjhunwala
    Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match Special

    101 needed from 72 balls. Game on.

  7. Ned 186-9

    Need 101 off 72 balls

    It didn't look that friendly to be honest with you, James.

    Paul van Meekeren and Logan van Beek exchanges singles before the former keeps out the final ball of Hassan Ali's over.

    A little smile from Van Meekeren to his team-mate in between overs.

    Former New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    He might just have been asking him what he's having for dinner later.

  9. Kevin Howells
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    A little conversion between Hassan Ali and Paul van Meekeren. What on earth is that about?

  10. Ned 184-9

    Oh. Words between Hassan Ali and Paul van Meekeren.

    Haris Rauf comes in and plays peacemaker.

  11. James Franklin
    Former New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    It looks as if that ball is just reversing a touch. Nice length from Hassan Ali and he gets a wicket with his first ball back.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Dutt b Hassan 1 (Pak 184-9)

    Hassan Ali strikes with the first ball of his spell.

    There might be a little bit of reverse swing there for Hassan and he cannons one into the pads of Aryan Dutt.

    It then deflects into the stumps and Hassan's trademark celebration comes out.

    Pakistan are just one wicket away from a big opening-game win.

  13. We do see a pacer return but it is Hassan Ali, not Haris Rauf at this stage.

    Hassan Ali picked up the wicket of opener Max O'Dowd in his first spell.

  14. Ned 184-8

    Need 103 from 78 balls

    Two dot balls end the over.

    How will Babar Azam play this? Does he return to Haris Rauf and try and wrap this up as quickly as possible?

    An early win, and in turn a net run-rate boost, could prove crucial later in the tournament.

  15. James Franklin
    Former New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Little bit of air from Shadab Khan, overpitched and Logan van Beek says, 'thank you very much!'

  16. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That's a monster hit from Logan van Beek.

  17. 6 runs

    Ned 184-8

    HUGE!

    Leg injury or not Logan van Beek gets down one on knee and slog-sweeps Shadab Khan over wide long-on for six.

    Superb strike.

  18. James Franklin
    Former New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    Indecision from both Dutch batters.

    This will be disappointing for the Netherlands, they had a great opportunity here.

    They were 120-2 and in a really good position. They've lost six wickets for 50 runs.

  19. Here's how Bas de Leede's brilliant innings came to an end.

  20. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Roelof van der Merwe ends in a crumpled heap and he's out.

    Babar Azam is credited with the run out, it feels misleading, it was more about Mohammad Rizwan.
