  1. Aus 68-1

    Let me tell you something about Alex. He's about to have a party to celebrate his 30th birthday, which would be fine if it wasn't for the fact he's about to turn 33.

    Now, do you believe him or your humble, faithful, dependable live text commentator?

    I offered you a tea Shemilt, you looked at me and said 'no thanks'. I have witnesses.

    Alex in the office

  3. dropped catch

    Close!

    Aus 67-1

    Got to be quick!

    Smith wants one to mid-on, but there's a swoop and throw. Smith dives, the throw misses, but it was close. Needless risk.

    The one thing the Netherlands are normally really consistent at is their bowling, but this has really waivered.

  5. Aus 66-1

    It's not often that David Warner plays second fiddle, but he has a relatively sluggish 21 off 30. Ten gone, fielding restrictions relaxed. Spread out, lads.

  6. Geoff Lemon
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    This is really poor bowling.

    Steve Smith has got off to a flyer, already on 33 off 23 balls.

  8. Aus 65-1

    Three fours in three balls. Pulled to square leg.

  9. Aus 61-1

    I fear for the Dutch here. Australia could get anything. Van Beek, so good so far, twice loses his line to Smith and is taken for leg-side boundaries.

    Aussies looking strong. Could be dark horses for the tournament

  11. Aus 53-1

    But what's the answer, Sean? I used to work in an office where a brew tally chart was kept. Make a brew, get a mark next to your name. And what about the whip-round to purchase the brew-making necessities? There's always someone who won't cough up.

    I remember fondly the office brew politics! People would rather shrivel and die before getting a round in!!

  13. Aus 53-1

    Warner was down on his haunches between overs, not sure if he's struggling with an injury or just because it's rocket hot in Delhi.

    I think it's going to be very difficult for England to go through now. They need to win 5 and even that's not guaranteed! Afghanistan loss was major dash of any hopes of qualifying.

    Pite

  15. Aus 51-1

    Van Beek has been the pick of the bowlers so far. Blond, strapping, chest the size of a double wardrobe. His over goes for just a single. He's bowled three that have cost only 11 and taken the wicket of Marsh.

  16. Geoff Lemon
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Smoked through the covers for four. Creamed away to the boundary.

  17. Aus 50-1

    Controversy on the live text desk, where Alex has made himself a brew and claimed he offered to get a round in. At least three of us did not hear him say a word. I reckon brew politics is the number one cause of office tension.

    Meanwhile, Smith swivels on a pull to take Van Meekeren for four. All but one of his runs have been on the leg side until he drives a wide one to point for four. He's already got 20 from 16.

  18. Aus 40-1

    Are you sure about that, John? Pakistan have a tough run-in - South Africa, New Zealand and England still to play. Afghanistan's next two games are against Sri Lanka and the Netherlands. If they win those two they are right in the mix, but then they finish against the Aussies and South Africa.

    John Jefferies: Speaking like it’s between England and Australia for fourth spot, when if you look at how everyone has played I think it’s more likely Afghanistan or Pakistan get that place.

  20. Aus 38-1

    I've no idea what you're talking about. I'm half-Australian. There's a proud tradition of Australian Shemilts.

    Smith off the hip, four to square leg.
