    It must be a little bit of concern for India that the ball seems to be following Mohammed Siraj. He never looked like getting there.

    Close!

    Sybrand Enbgelbrecht pulls one high into the night sky and Mohammed Siraj charges in from fine leg. He puts in a solid effort diving forward but can't cling on - I think he may have misjudged that, with the ball swirling in the air for quite a long time.

    Still, that is Siraj's second drop of the evening, even if this one was much tougher. Rohit Sharma applauds his efforts.

    It must be pretty confusing for these batters having to face Shubman Gill at one end and Jasprit Bumrah at the other. It must be like playing two different sports.

    Cheers, Tim. I was indeed - in January 2014, I was in my last year, doing my A-Levels.

    Fun times.

    Anyway, Shubman Gill ticks his way through another over that just goes for two. When is KL Rahul going to take the gloves off and turn his arm over?

    My colleague Ffion Wynne informs me she was still in school the last time Virat Kohli took an ODI wicket.

    She'll talk you through to the end of this contest.

  6. Ned 136-4published at 30 overs

    Would Rohit Sharma be bowling the part-timers if this was England or Pakistan in the final match, regardless of there being little to play for?

    Jasprit Bumrah into the attack. Just a single off the over.

    This is turning into an exhibition match where everyone must bat and everyone must bowl.

    I don't think there's much ambition when it comes to Shubman Gill's bowling. He just wants to get it from one end to the other.

  8. Ned 128-4published at 28 overs

    Sybrand Engelbrecht smashes it hard and low back at Ravindra Jadeja, but the India spinner cannot really get a hand on it.

    Rohit Sharma content to ease the workload on his attack by bringing Shubman Gill into the attack now.

    A bit of a charity game feel to this now. Not sure the Netherlands will be entirely happy with it. Is it a bit disrespectful?

    Virat Kohli's bowling does give me the ick. It really does. I can't watch it, but I have to.

    You know what it is? He's a superstar of the game. He can't do wrong. He is so good with the bat and a brilliant leader but he just comes in and farts it out.

  10. Ned 124-4published at 27 overs

    Virat Kohli is now flicking his fingers over the ball hinting at variations.

    His fourth ball is crowd catch saved by Rohit Sharma.

    Kohli has 1-13 from three overs. Don't pull something now Virat...

    It was a great effort from Rohit Sharma. It went so quickly. They either stick or they don't.

    That is very, very hard chance.

    Engelbrecht dropped on 25published at 26 overs

    Sybrand Engelbrecht flashes at one from Ravindra Jadeja and it offers a sharp diving chance to Rohit Sharma at slip.

    The India skipper gets a paw on it but cannot hold on.

    Meanwhile, the Virat Kohli show continues into a third over.

    That is Virat Kohli's fifth ODI wicket.

    His last was against New Zealand in Wellington in January 2014.

    Virat Kohli is punching the air with a huge smile on his face at the end of the over. He's absolutely cock-a-hoop.

    It is such a soft dismissal. Such a great catch from the keeper.

    Virat Kohli's wife can't believe, she was up out of her seat laughing. He celebrated towards her.

    He just can't do anything wrong.

    That is a great take from KL Rahul. We said the roof would come off if he gets a wicket and he has!

    King Kohli strikes!

    He's mobbed by his team-mates while the crowd go bananas. Scott Edwards, meanwhile wants the earth to swallow him up.

    It's a feather down the leg side from Edwards to a pretty nonthreatening delivery from Virat Kohli and a fine take by KL Rahul.

  19. Ned 109-3published at 14:24 Greenwich Mean Time 12 November 2023

    Scott Edwards sweeps Ravindra Jadeja's third ball to the boundary for four. Nice shot. Virat Kohli gets a second over

    Here's the Dutch wickets to fall so far.

    Virat Kohli will know he's a brilliant batter, but do you think he goes home and says 'I should be bowling more'? Do you think he thinks he's a good bowler?
