Netherlands reviewpublished at 26.4 overs
Is it two in the over for Haris Rauf?
If Scott Edwards hasn't hit this, I fear he is in big trouble.
The on-field decision is out so it only has to be clipping.

All of a sudden the Netherlands look in a little bit of trouble.

Former New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialHe tried to get his hands over it but he just ended up hitting it square. It is another big breakthrough.
Two quick wickets have just changed the complexion of the game a little bit.

Nidamanuru c Fakhar b Rauf 5 (Ned 133-4)
Haris Rauf strikes!
Teja Nidamanuru had got four the ball before with a top-edged pull shot, took the short ball on again and actually seemed to time it better.
But he picked out Fakhar Zaman on the boundary perfectly.
Pakistan are up again, the Netherlands need to be careful not to let this get away from them.

No wicket in that over but another good one from Shadab Khan, who removed Vikram Singh in his previous set...
Ned 129-3published at 26 overs
Target 287
Good fielding in the deep denies Bas de Leede a boundary with a firm drive to begin the Shadab Khan over.
They run two and just a couple more singles follow in the over.
De Leede is 49 from 49 balls. A very handy innings so far.
Ned 125-3published at 25 overs
Target 287
Bas de Leede, who has been in for a while, might be seeing the ball well enough to play perfect straight drives off Haris Rauf but Teja Nidamanuru is still getting in.
He fends at a ball just outside off and is fortunate not to feather it behind.
A nice push to cover ends the over, an improvement but the Netherlands need him to at least rotate the strike from here on.

Former New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThat is one of the shots of the day. He just leans on a slightly over-pitched ball. A beautiful shot.

Target 287
Top class from Bas de Leede!
Full and straight from Haris Rauf but the batter just punches the ball back past him, all along the ground for four.
That was a gorgeous shot.

Target 287
Ripper from Sahadab Khan to finish. The leggie is clearly buoyed after taking that wicket.
Pakistan have another opening with new batter Teja Nidamanuru trying to get himself set at the crease.

It wasn't the best ball that Shadab Khan has ever bowled.

Former New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThere will be a sense of disappointment there for Vikram Singh after just reaching his half-century.
It was short from Shadab Khan but maybe not as short as Singh thought.
Pakistan needed that breakthrough.

Singh c Fakhar b Shabad 52 (Ned 120-3)
Breakthrough for Pakistan! Vikram Singh can't go on after reaching 50.
It's a googly from Shadab Khan, slightly short again and that's why Singh tries to pull it over the ropes.
However, it doesn't get up quite as much as he expects and he miscues it out to Fakhar Zaman at deep mid-wicket. Good catch.
Big wicket.

Former New Zealand all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialVikram Singh has a huge opportunity to score a match-winning century for the Netherlands. He's done a lot of hard work to set this up.
50 for Vikram Singhpublished at 23.2 overs
Ned 117-2
A 65-ball half-century for Vikram Singh.
He started superbly, got bogged down for a little while but looks to be coming out the other side now.
The opener still has a big role to play for the Netherlands.

Vikram Singh is trying to get himself going again and shots like this should help...

Ned 114-2published at 23 overs
Target 287
Really good bouncer from Haris Rauf, too quick for Bas de Leede but the top-edged hook goes over the wicketkeeper's head for four.
A couple of balls earlier, Vikram Singh dived and flung himself in to make his ground after a quick single, seemingly oblivious to the fact the fielder had failed to gather the ball.
He could have just strolled through but it's good practice, I suppose.

Babar Azam changes things up again and brings Haris Rauf back into the attack.
Can his searing pace bring Pakistan the breakthrough?
