    Yep, that's a bad one. McFly would have been acceptable.

    I saw Busted once. I'm ashamed of that.

    Van Beek, by the way, was born in New Zealand. He once shared a house with some of the current Black Cap internationals. England have slowed down over the past couple of overs. Better from the Dutch.

    I'm surprised Logan van Beek has been given another over. He hasn't got his lengths right today so far.

  5. Eng 45-0published at 5.4 overs

    Van Beek is continuing. He's dragged his length back. Good plan.

    That would sum up England's World Cup if it started raining after this start.

    It turns out Coldplay were the headline act, supported by both Girls Aloud and Jay-Z. What a combo.

    Either that, or Matt and his dad were taken in by some tribute acts.

    There's a dark cloud coming over. They will be keeping an eye out for that, in case there are any showers.

    Why is Matt trying to play it cool over seeing Girls Aloud? There's no shame in that. I also want to hear more from his dad.

    In my defence, Girls Aloud were the support act.

    Thanks for texting in, Dad…

    Another four, they are rattling up! Malan is dealing exclusively in fours.

  12. Eng 39-0published at 4 overs

    There's another half-volley! Punched back down the ground for four by Malan, who has 25 from 13. There are also two fans in the crowd wearing Oval Invincibles shirts. Of all the places.

    Van Beek bowling half-volleys really isn't working, he needs to be going full and straight.

    Dutch fans

    This is clearly not the biggest crowd but there are a few Dutch fans in. They’re giving out caps to the locals saying “we need more orange”.

    It really is getting gloomy out there. A washout would be no good for England.

    Here we go, 544, England are back! What a start, you decide to bat first. The Netherlands offer some nice juicy bounce and Malan is 20 off eight.

  19. Eng 29-0published at 2.4 overs

    The murk has necessitated Dutt to remove his shades. He drops too short to Malan, who punches four more, then slashes to the third man boundary. The left-hander already has 20 off eight.

    The current projected score is 500!
