    They deserved that as well, the Dutch. Van der Merwe took a blinder that was deemed not out, but there was no mistake with this one.

    Smith c Van der Merwe b Dutt 71 (Aus 160-2)

    It is out! The Netherlands have got Steve Smith.

    It is a miscued drive from Smith and Roelof van der Merwe does well at point to get his hands under the ball, and then roll round with the ball up in the air.

    He makes an exaggerated point of holding it up this time too.

    This has to be out, it is definitely out.

    Marais Erasmus is saying "the fingers are under the ball".

    Steve Smith hangs around while he takes another look.

    Quite why, I do not know. It's out.

    Smith looks more guilty than Warner did. He thinks he's out.

  6. Umpire reviewpublished at 11:17 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Another catch, another check. It is that man Roeloaf van der Merwe again.

    This time it is Steve Smith.

    Will this one be out?

    The Netherlands could have done with this man back in the changing room.

    He looks in very good touch.

    There was a bit of annoyance there I think from Van der Merwe there. He is a feisty cricketer.

  9. Aus 158-1published at 23 overs

    Roelof van der Merwe and David Warner approach each other but it seems pretty good natured, and there's a little pat on the hip for the Dutch man.

    To rub salt in the wound, Warner cuts the final ball for four too. That is 19 from Bas de Leede's over.

    Oh, there's words at the end of the over between Warner and Van der Merwe too. It seems pretty polite again.

    Van der Merwe can't believe it, the Dutch can't believe it. Warner knew straight away. What a belting catch that was, as soon as I saw it I thought it was not out.

    There might be a little bit of ground contact with that ball. I think he's fully holding onto that ball, but the cheek of the ball is touching the ground.

  12. Not outpublished at 11:13 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Yep, the third umpire has decided that Roelof van der Merwe has used the ground to help complete the catch.

    The Dutch players can't believe it. Their fans in the ground can't either. There are heads in hands everywhere.

    It looks like Roelof van der Merwe has held the catch, but has he grazed it along the ground?

    It is like Mitchell Starc in the Ashes at Lord's.

    What an effort from Van der Merwe, if anyone is going to take a chance like that, it is him.

    Unbelievable catch. It was cracked away and Roleof van der Merwe, you can't keep him out of the game.

  16. Umpire reviewpublished at 11:11 British Summer Time 25 October 2023

    Has David Warner been superbly caught in the covers?

    Has the ball hit the ground as he takes it?

    Warner has asked the umpires to take another look.

    Australia are attacking.

    Steve Smith pulls for six, before sending another short ball to the fence.

    I don't do brews so milk chat is going to go over my head, but I do normally bring the office treats in.

    We had a meeting last week and we decided treats were very important.

    Office brews? Fine with the petty politics but then you find someone has stolen all of your milk!
