    He's done his job but a couple of strikes just gives the Dutch some hopes. If they can get another here they might be able to restrict Australia to just over 300.

    Warner c Dutt b van Beek 104 (Aus 267-5)

    Pulled to fine leg and Australia are stuttering a little bit all of a sudden.

    David Warner has batted superbly but that's a pretty soft dismissal, taking on the short ball from Logan van Beek and picking out Aryan Dutt perfectly on the boundary.

    Australia have two new batters at the crease, both yet to face a ball.

    In comes Glenn Maxwell. With 11 overs to go, there are not many players you'd rather coming in in this position for Australia.

    That was a bit top-edgey. He didn't quite get hold of it. It went as high as it did long.

    He looked good and busy but it was one shot too many.

    Inglis c Engelbrecht b De Leede 14 (Aus 266-4)

    Smashed high into the leg side by Josh Inglis but it's caught a couple of yards off the rope.

    It looked like it was going to be another enormous six for a moment but the timing wasn't quite there.

    It went more up than out and Sybrand Engelbrecht is settled underneath it to take a steepler.

    Since he hit those four straight fours it has felt inevitable. He's just gone through the gears. I suspect he'll go into sixth gear now.

    That means David Warner has six World Cup centuries and goes level with Sachin Tendulkar. Only Rohit Sharma, with seven, has more.

    It has felt inevitable for most of the day.

    Aus 265-3

    Pulled away for four - and that's David Warner's 22nd ODI century!

    A fine knock from the Australia left-hander to put his side on course for a very big total.

    He gets there from 91 balls. He's punished the Dutch bowlers already but you'd think he's going to kick on again now.

  9. Aus 259-3published at 38 overs

    Another big over for Australia, 10 from it.

    David Warner is on strike for the start of the next, he's on 98...

    Oh, that is huge. That is a long way back. It was played with low hands and he had no intention of keeping it down.

    I apologise for my excitement in the readers' ears. It might have burst an eardrum.

  11. Aus 257-3published at 37.3 overs

    Huge hit!

    Short from Logan van Beek and Josh Inglis launches it high over the leg side and into the crowd.

    That's gone a long way!

    Just briefly going back to the brew chat, one of our apprentices Grace is with us for the first time today and has just gone past Callum Matthews for the number of tea rounds made in the office.

    A good brew, too.

    David Warner has barely faced any deliveries from the 30th over onwards. Sometimes you need that as a batter and leave some of the heavy lifting to the other batters.

  14. Aus 248-3published at 37 overs

    Josh Inglis is the new batter and he is off the mark with a boundary, pulling behind square for four.

    Another pull shot, hit square this time, brings him a single and keeps David Warner, on 96, off strike for a bit longer.

    That was a clean take and relatively simple for Aryan Dutt. That ball just held in the surface a touch and Labuschagne didn't quite time that.

    There's an inside edge and you can see his frustration. One thing you don't want to do is allow Labuschagne to play with pace on the ball.

    I think Josh Inglis is the right option here, he's a great player of pace and spin. He's got sneaky power, he can hit a very long ball.

    Labuschagne c Dutt b De Leede 62 (Aus 244-3)

    Chipped to mid on!

    Marnus Labuschagne was going well but just tries to lift the ball over the in-field and doesn't really go through the shot.

    It was there to be hit from Bas de Leede but the ball comes off the inside half of the bat and is comfortably taken by Aryan Dutt.

    Even with the slight mishit, it surely would have cleared the fielder if Labuschagne had really gone after it.

  18. Aus 243-2published at 36 overs

    While David Warner continues to take a bit of time to move through the 90s, Marnus Labuschagne is happy to pick up the slack.

    He follows up that six with a smartly-played sweep shot, taking the ball from around off stump and finds the gap behind square on the leg side.

    He just gets to that and swings his arms at that, Labuschagne does that so well. He is just toying with the field at the moment.

  20. 6 runs

    Aus 237-2published at 35.1 overs

    Marnus Labuschagne skips down the track and thumps Aryan Dutt over long off for six!

    With Australia in such a strong position, the right-hander is free to play his shots and is taking full advantage.
