    I hope not.

    There is some cloud, I hope it is not rain-bearing.

  3. How's stat?!

    Glenn Phillips averages 32.14 in his ODI career and that is pretty evenly split across spin (31.16) and pace (32.87).

    That shoots up to 47.75 against right-arm pace, which all of the Netherlands' quicks are, and 43.5 against off-spin, which Colin Ackermann and Aryan Dutt are.

    The Netherlands best bet might be hoping that left-arm spinner Roelof van der Merwe gets Phillips in his one remaining over. Phillips averages just 11 against left-arm spin.

  4. NZ 246-4

    Glenn Phillips is the new batter for New Zealand and he gets off the mark with a fortunate boundary.

    He punches the last ball of Paul van Meekeren's over between extra cover and mid-off, the former makes a great effort to cut it off but can only get a fingertip on it.

    However, that is enough to divert the ball past the mid-off fielder - who would have cut it off - and away to the boundary sponge.

    A slower ball from Van Meekeren, it grips a tiny bit on the surface and it just does enough. Mitchell looks to go across the line for the first time today and doesn't get anywhere near it.

    WICKET

    Mitchell b van Meekeren 48 (NZ 238-4)

    Bowled 'im! Big wicket for the Netherlands!

    It's the off cutter from Paul van Meekeren, back of a length and Daryl Mitchell went back to try and pull it.

    The batter expected it to get up more than it did, misses and the ball flicks the off bail.

  7. NZ 238-3

    Daryl Mitchell carves the first ball of Ryan Klein's over through the off side for four so the Netherlands seamer will be pleased to finish it with just seven runs conceded.

    We're heading into the last 10 overs of the innings and New Zealand will surely be looking to try and push 350 from here.

  8. Just taking your lunch at work and wondering what you've missed?

    Here are the three wickets to fall so far, and Will Young's best shots as the opener made 70.

    The issue with back home at the moment is the Rugby World Cup, everyone's favourite sport.

    The cricket team go under the radar. They are known to be battlers.

    It is also currently 12am in the morning and that doesn't help.

  10. NZ 231-3

    Nice timing from Tom Latham to send a pull shot in front of square - a boundary to end the over.

    It had been a good one from Paul van Meekeren with just two from the first five balls, albeit aided by the stumps.

  11. NZ 226-3

    Crunching straight drive from Daryl Mitchell but he gets nothing for it.

    He hits it too straight and uproots one the stumps at the non-striker's end.

    Paul van Meekeren bows to the batter in thanks - he should be thanking the stumps, they've saved four!

  12. Now, that's a look!

  13. NZ 225-3

    Bas de Leede helps settle things down for the Netherlands with a very tidy over.

    Just a single from it. There was also a brief appeal for a catch behind down leg but it faded quickly, it was off Tom Latham's thigh pad rather than the bat.

  14. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Once again the ever-reliable Daryl Mitchell is doing the business again for New Zealand.

  15. 6 runs

    NZ 224-3

    Latham 20, Mitchell 41

    What a shot to end the over!

    Daryl Mitchell skips down and effortlessly plonks the ball back over Roelof van der Merwe's head for a straight six.

    New Zealand are on the charge...

  16. How's stat?!

    Netherlands will want to stick with pace bowling against both Latham and Mitchell.

    Both men average significantly more against spin than they do pace.

    Prior to the tournament starting, Mitchell averaged 55.4 vs spin in ODIs and 39.25 vs pace bowling, dropping to 35.3 against right-arm pace.

    For Latham, he averages just 21.06 against left arm-pace, 31.59 vs quicks and 42.26 vs spin.

  17. NZ 214-3

    Four boundaries in a row now for New Zealand as Daryl Mitchell thumps a sweep shot just behind square to start Roelof van der Merwe's latest.

  18. Katey Martin

    I don't think Tom Latham is under pressure. He's been New Zealand's middle-order player for a long time.

    He looks like an awkward type player but he does access the covers really well.

    He is also a very good player of spin and that is what you want in the middle overs.

  19. NZ 210-3

    After struggling early in the Bas de Leede over, Tom Latham gets things moving again with a crisp cover drive.

    Superbly time and it runs away for four.

    Two more boundaries follow, the first an outside edge that goes away fine before De Leede strays onto the pads and Latham just glances it down leg. A freebie.

  20. NZ 198-3

    Six runs from the first three balls and that's all there is from the over as Roelof van Merwe keeps Daryl Mitchell tied down in the second half of it.

    New Zealand are going nicely, it's now just a case of when they decide to drop the hammer.
