Trent Boult is back as New Zealand try to finish this off quickly and further boost their net run-rate.
The Netherlands keep him out this time but manage only three from the over.

Target 323
The end of a very eventful over from Mitchell Santner, he now has figures of 4-55 from eight so most of his overs have brought either wickets or runs.
New Zealand are three wickets away from another convincing victory.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialVan der Merwe could have been dismissed three times. He slaps his bat on his pad in frustration. He actually executed that reverse sweep perfectly. Matt Henry takes the catch but says 'ow' as he goes into the huddle.

van der Merwe c Henry b Santner 1 (Ned 180-7)
Third time lucky for Mitchell Santner!
Dropped catch first ball, stumping chance second ball and Roelof van der Merwe departs third ball.
He goes for the reverse sweep again, gives Matt Henry another catching chance and this time he takes it.
The ball went quickly but Henry took it around head height.

It is very tight but the third umpire decides that Roelof van der Merwe just had something behind the line.
Another escape for Van der Merwe.

Umpire reviewpublished at 36.2 overs
Ned 181-6
Roelof van der Merwe gets himself in all sorts of trouble the very next ball.
It bobbles behind to Tom Latham, who takes the bails but did the batter get back? It was close.
Van der Merwe dropped on 1published at 36.1 overs
Reverse sweep from Roelof van der Merwe but Matt Henry puts down a fairly simple catch at backward point.
Big let off for the Netherlands bowling all-rounder. Should have been a fourth wicket for Mitchell Santner.

Target 323
If this game is over as a contest, no one has told Sybran Engelbrecht!
He smashes Lockie Ferguson through the covers for four - he's enjoying himself on debut.
Despite that boundary, the required run-rate has now crept above 10 an over.

Losing Colin Ackermann was a big blow to the Netherlands. He had played so well but fell to Mitchell Santner.
To lose Scott Edwards a couple of overs later then was far from ideal...

Turn and bounce for Mitchell Santner to beat Roelof van der Merwe with the final ball of his over, started before the drinks break.

Another light show in Hyderabad as the players take drinks following that wicket.
The Netherlands were always up against it but with Scott Edwards gone, you'd say their chance of victory is all but over.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialMitchell Santner has been the bowler that has been punished a lot but that clever bowling. He pushed it wider, almost on the wide line, and it wasn't in the hitting arc for Scott Edwards.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorIt was a big old swipe but it ended up about two yards away from the stumps at the non-striker's end.
Scott Edwards looks disgusted with himself.

Edwards c & b Santner 30 (Ned 175-6)
Straight up!
Scott Edwards tries to go again, he'll feel he had to given the situation the Netherlands find themselves in.
However, Mitchell Santner held his nerve and held this delivery back a bit, meaning Edwards is through the shot far too early and skies it.
Santner takes a couple of steps back and holds onto the catch.
