Ryan Campbell
Former Netherlands coach on BBC Test Match SpecialThis is the period of the game where Vikram Singh has always received some criticism. It is about him outside of the powerplay and being able to rotate the strike. It will be a big test for him.

Target 287
Despite that six, Vikram Singh is still trying to force things a bit too much.
He gets away with a leg-side heave to end Muhammad Nawaz's over as the ball just clears the mid-wicket fielder.

Another set of 10 overs done. Time for another worm.
It's still close...

Former Netherlands coach on BBC Test Match SpecialThat is the thing, if someone bowls you a bad ball, you've got to look to hit it. That is exactly what he did there.
That might make him a bit more comfortable and relaxed.

Target 287
Struggling in the last over, Vikram Singh ends this one by powering Shadab Khan over the leg side for six!
Too short from the leg-spinner, Singh goes back and nails it over the rope.

Former Netherlands coach on BBC Test Match SpecialIf the Netherlands can rotate the strike and put the fielders under pressure, which we know with Pakistan at times can fall away, that is going to go a long way to getting over the line.
Ned 88-2published at 19 overs
Target 287
Just three from the over and while Vikram Singh will be relieved to have survived the review, he needs to kick things up a gear.
The Netherlands opener is really struggling out there and is eating up precious deliveries.

Target 287
Sliding down leg.
It looked like it might be closer than that when the impact was shown to be in line with Vikram Singh stuck on the crease but the ball was just missing leg stump.

Muhammad Nawaz thinks he's got Vikram Singh lbw after the left-hander gets himself in a tangle.
Given not out but the bowler persuades the skipper to send it upstairs.

Muhammad Nawaz will continue, here's Bas de Leede whipping a six over mid-wicket in the spinner's previous over...

The Netherlands batters get through their first test against leg-spin, taking five from Shadab Khan's over to get themselves moving again after drinks.

Ryan Campbell
Former Netherlands coach on BBC Test Match SpecialWhen you don't play a lot of ODI cricket like the Netherlands, you don't face a lot of leg-spin.
Bas de Leede will have faced some on the county circuit but Vikram Singh won't have faced much, apart from his team-mate Saqib Zulfiqar.
This will be a good test for him.

Target 287
Another over with 10 from it to boost the Netherlands.
They are still well in this match and Pakistan will be aware of that as the players take drinks.

Former IPL batter on BBC Test Match SpecialThat is an extraordinary stroke. It was just a flick of the wrists. Absolutely brilliant. It surprised everyone.

Target 287
Muhammad Nawaz leaves deep mid-wicket open, trying to tempt Bas de Leede to target it - and the Netherlands all-rounder does!
Down the pitch and launches the ball over the rope for six very useful runs. Super shot!
Ned 70-2published at 16 overs
Target 287
That's a much better over for the Netherlands, it's four singles and a two after the boundary but 10 from it in total.
It keeps the rate below 6.5 - a few more like that would see the pressure shift towards Pakistan.
