    Aiden Markram is the bloke that worries me if you're a Dutch fan. He's in the top three or four in world cricket for me. His all-round game is right at the peak of his powers.

    He can take you out aggressively or he can see you out.

  3. SA 41-2published at 10 overs

    Aiden Markram, scorer of the fastest World Cup hundred earlier in this tournament, comes to the crease for South Africa.

    He takes a single down the ground.

    You whack two wickets onto the score and you're back in the game. Suddenly South Africa feel the pressure of the world upon them. And the Dutch are buoyant!

    He was the catalyst for the Netherlands fight back and now he's doing it with the ball!

    It is on. It is definitely on.

    Bavuma b van der Merwe 16 (SA 39-2)

    Roelof van der Merwe has a wicket with his first ball!

    The Dutch all-rounder, so vital in his side's innings, now makes an instant impact with the bat. Not much turn on his opening delivery and Bavuma plays for the spin that isn't there. The ball cuts between bat and legs and splays the stumps.

    Game on!

  7. SA 39-1published at 9 overs

    The Netherlands reintroduce some pace as Paul van Meekeren, recently released by Gloucestershire, comes into the attack.

    New batter Rassie van der Dussen takes two into square leg and that's the end of the powerplay.

    De Kock c Edwards b Ackermann 20 (SA 36-1)

    There won't be three successive hundreds for Quinton de Kock!

    He tries to sweep Colin Ackermann and the ball skips up off the top of his gloves. Keeper Scott Edwards momentarily loses track of the ball, before spotting it, taking a couple of steps forward and taking the catch ahead of the stumps.

    Prior to that delivery, De Kock added four more with a paddle shot - but that's the last runs he'll score today. A vital breakthrough for the Netherlands.

  10. SA 32-0published at 7 overs

    De Kock takes a single square to bring Bavuma back on strike. A Dutt delivery rears on the South African captain and he has to fend the ball away.

    Just one run from the over, tighter after eleven from the last one.

    With the scores that South Africa have made so far in the tournament, 246 from the remaining overs shouldn't be much of a challenge.

    Bavuma has got the engine running now so to speak. Suddenly, they're 11 off the over.

  13. SA 31-0published at 6 overs

    Bavuma's ticking over now - he creams a lovely drive through the covers for four more.

    He's made scores of 8 and 35 in this tournament and would not doubt relish the chance to make a big score.

    It is just a step-ball from Colin Ackermann. He invited Temba Bavuma to take it on and he did.

    The captain breaks the shackles. He was on six from 18 balls but hits a six from the 19th.

    Bavuma kicks into gear!

    Too full from Ackermann and the South African captain drops a knee and clubs the ball over long-on and deep into the stands.

    I like the fact that Edwards went, 'We're not going to give them momentum here' and brought in some spin. Bavuma doesn't rotate the strike as well with spin so you can build a little bit of pressure.

  18. SA 20-0published at 5 overs

    A clever shot from De Kock, dropping Dutt's ball into the square and watching it run away for four through backward point.

    He takes a single after the ball alludes a fielder in the covers, and Bavuma plays another couple of dot balls - he's on six from 18 deliveries.

    Temba Bavuma doesn't seem too phased by eating up dot balls at the moment, that is his style. It is one of the reasons the partnership with Quinton de Kock has worked so well.

  20. SA 15-0published at 4 overs

    Spin at both ends for the Netherlands, as Colin Ackermann is introduced after just one over of Logan van Beek.

    An impressive start for the Durham-bound all-rounder, with his darts going for a single run.
