    It's been a solid effort from the Dutch, they haven't been rolled over. But it's been a very professional performance from India, who are going to end the group stage with nine wins from nine.

    I get the feeling we are going to be here for the full 50 overs...

    Aryan Dutt is somone else who likes to give it a bit of a hit.

  4. Ned 227-8published at 45 overs

    Yep, here is Jasprit Bumrah. He works through all his tricks, the yorkers and slower balls, just fine-tuning ahead of the semi-final.

    Just one run from it.

    We probably won't see Roelof van der Merwe in a 50-over World Cup again. He might sneak into the T20 World Cup squad next year, though. A very entertaining innings comes to an end - it would have been nice to see have seen a bit more of that. I enjoyed that cameo.

  6. Ned 226-8published at 44 overs

    Just two wickets left for India now. I suspect we'll see Bumrah and Siraj back on soon to mop up the tail.

    Van der Merwe c Shami b Jadeja 16 (Ned 225-8)

    And the fun comes to an end!

    Well, he was only going to get out one way. Roelof van der Merwe attempts another six but picks out Mohammed Shami at long-on, who barely had to move.

    An entertaining eight-ball knock, nevertheless.

    Hello! He goes again!

    Ravindra Jadeja takes the punishment this time as Roelof van der Merwe deposits the ball over mid-wicket with a huge hit.

    He reverse sweeps the next ball for four! We're in for some fun.

    Roelof van der Merwe is not a man who tends to hang around. I cannot imagine him knocking it around until the end.

    Here's Roelof van der Merwe, who only really knows one approach to batting.

    And he delivers from just his fourth ball, striking Kuldeep Yadav powerfully over mid-wicket for six!

    Van Beek b Kuldeep 16 (Ned 208-7)

    Logan van Beek's luck runs out. Straight through.

    Kuldeep Yadav strikes, tempting Van Beek into a mighty slog sweep but the ball just skids under his bat and takes out middle stump.

  12. Ned 208-6published at 42 overs

    Oh, that's village.

    Logan van Beek drills one firmly up to Rohit Sharma at mid-off, yells "no" immediately in the assumption that it'll be an innocuous dot ball.

    Instead, it's gone straight through the captain's legs and Van Beek gets himself four lucky runs.

    Mohammed Shami just shakes his head slightly with the air of a parent giving the old "not angry, just disappointed" line.

    The Dutch haven't shown a huge amount of ambition. They've just been happy to bat out the time. They looked determined to see out these final nine overs.

    Full, fast and straight has been doing the trick for India so far.

    He goes again!

    The result may be inevitable but Nidamanuru is going to enjoy himself in the Netherlands' last World Cup outing. He steps back in the crease, giving himself some room and launches Kuldeep Yadav over long-off!

    Lovely.

  16. Ned 190-6published at 40 overs

    Logan van Beek gets his first boundary with a deft touch off his pads and down to fine leg as Mohammed Shami errs in his line.

    Captain Rohit Sharma looks thoughtful. Time to turn back to your strike bowler, perhaps?

    That was hard and high from Teja Nidamanuru.

    Ned 183-6published at 39 overs

    And there's his third six!

    He clubs Kuldeep Yadav straight down the ground. Shreyas Iyer thinks he's in for a catch at long-on but the ball just evades his leap.

    Teja Nidamanuru has shown some signs that he is going to have a bit of fun out there.

    The Netherlands will just be trying to frustrate India and keep them out there. They will be doing New Zealand a few favours by putting a bit more into the legs of the India players.
