    Gerald Coetzee is the new batter to join David Miller.

    The whole stadium seems to pause for breath as just three runs come from Bas de Leede's second over.

    No doubt about that one!

    It is another brilliant delivery from Paul van Meekeren that holds its line as Marco Jansen backs away and looks to prod it into the off side, but the ball beats his defences and clatters into the stumps.

    The Netherlands players leap and whoop in celebration.

    That was the moment where it was Game, Set and Match. That was a huge moment for the game. If something goes wrong now for the Dutch, they will be looking at that moment for a long, long time.

    This has gone high into the air. He's dropped it! And it's gone for four. It went high into the Dharamshala night. Van de Merwe is on the floor, he cannot believe it.

    That is a massive opportunity. If anything goes wrong in this game it will all come down to that moment. That should have been taken.

    David Miller dropped on 23published at 23.4 overs

    Oh my! How big could that be?

    David Miller has gone for a huge heave towards long on. Bas de Leede is underneath it, but the ball somehow slips through his grasp and trundles over the rope for four.

    Roelof van der Merwe cannot believe it. He drops to his knees and puts his head in his hands.

    What a moment. It could be pivotal.

    At some point, South Africa are going to need at least a boundary an over. There's some nervous boys sat up waiting in that changing room.

  9. SA 101-5published at 23 overs

    Thanks, Mike.

    Well, well, well. When I ended my last commentary stint the Netherlands were batting and had slumped to 123-6. Since then they have absolutely dominated this match and set up the prospect of another World Cup upset.

    You can sense the nerves from the South Africa batters, with just two runs coming from Paul van Meekeren's latest over.

    He's bowling magic at the moment, van der Merwe.

  12. SA 99-5published at 22 overs

    Another tight over from Roelof van der Merwe, starting with three dot balls and some surprisingly sharp turn before South Africa run three singles.

    This is going to be a fascinating chase - I'm handing over to Tom Mallows but I'll be glued to my screen.

    What I love for the Dutch is that, South Africa cannot make a mistake now. And that's when it starts to get nervy.

    Logan van Beek continues for the Netherlands and looks like he's settled on his line a little better.

    Three runs off the over, two off the bat while Jansen takes a leg bye into backward square.

    Jansen in. This bloke is a gun. Will he brave and go hard, or will he just hang in there for a while? I'd love to be a fly on the wall in his brain right now.

  16. SA 93-5published at 20 overs

    153 needed from 23 overs

    Marco Jansen is the next man in for South Africa.

    He and Miller work Roelof van der Merwe around for four singles. The current run rate is 4.65, they'll need 6.65 from herein.

    If Singh didn't catch that, it probably would have put a hole through his chest!

    Klaasen c Singh b van Beek 28 (SA 89-5)

    Oh my!

    Heinrich Klaasen departs - his eyes lit up as Logan van Beek returned to the attack, but he went too far. The Dutch seamer returned after going for eight in his sole opening over and Klaasen angles a ball on the legs for four.

    Two balls later and he goes to clip the ball around the corner and just offers catching practice for Vikram Singh down at fine leg, the fielder taking a good catch in an extremely gloomy part of this Dharamsala ground.

    It was a dismissal reminiscent of Rassie van der Dussen earlier in the innings, picking out the fielder with an unconventional shot.

    South Africa had sight of a decent rebuilding partnership, with Klaasen and Miller worth 45. Now they have to start again.

    The fielding has been tigerish from the Netherlands. Outstanding.

  20. SA 82-4published at 18 overs

    A first sight of Bas de Leede in this innings as the Netherlands introduce a sixth bowler. A reminder that three players can bowl nine overs, the rest can bowl a maximum of eight.

    Klaasen fires a couple of powerful shots into the off side but they're cut off by some fine Dutch fielding.
