    Great powerplay. Now we can really set this tournament alight.

    This is Rootian! The reverse-scoop! Four over the keeper's head.

    Saw S Club in Leeds a few weeks ago. Put my back out reaching for the stars.

    I think, finally, Joe Root has a shirt that matches the rest of the England team. He plays a Rootian stroke, a dab to third, he scurries back for two.

    It has settled a lot, Netherlands have pulled it back a bit after giving Malan a lot of drives early on.

    It is gloomy. More like the County Championship in April than Pune in November. Van Meekeren has started well. He's only conceded six runs from his first two overs, with no boundaries. In fact, without Van Beek going at 11 an over, it hasn't been too bad from the Dutch.

    According to my weather app, in around 20 minutes there will be a short and sharp thunderstorm. I hope my app is wrong.

    Matt is from Sunderland. We hear a lot about Durham.

    Bas de Leede averaged 93 with the bat and 29 with the ball for Durham last year, playing the Ben Stokes role when he wasn't there and it paid off for Durham in the County Championship this year.

    Not for one second am I having it that there is such thing as a McBusted tribute act.

    Chris: I'll see your McBusted and raise you going to see a McBusted tribute act.

    Nice start from De Leede, good length. Malan pinches a single to keep the strike. Root hasn't motored out of the blocks. He has two from his first seven balls.

    Five innings ago, Joe Root needed 83 runs to reach 1,000 career World Cup runs. In his last five innings, he's only scored 29 runs.

    Now then, Bas de Leede is having a bowl. Exciting Durham all-rounder. Sharing a county not the only comparison you can make to Ben Stokes.

    It's a very good over to start from Paul van Meekeren, only going for one.
