    Again, Jasprit Bumrah overpitches and that is rare. Throw the bat at it, and you'll get full value for shots on a pitch as good as this.

    Don't even bother to run. That has raced to the boundary, another lovely shot.

  3. Ned 37-1published at 7 overs

    Target 411

    Crashed through the covers for four by Colin Ackermann. Excellent shot.

    He was so quick to pounce on the width from Jasprit Bumrah.

    We haven't seen the sustained intensity we've got used to from the India bowlers so far and this Dutch pair are doing well to punish any bad balls.

    After all of our compliments to India's bowling attack, Siraj has been hit for three boundaries in an over and he has lost his radar.

  5. Ned 29-1published at 6 overs

    Target 411

    Fine shot from Colin Ackermann, hitting on the up and through the covers for his third boundary of the over.

    Mohammed Siraj responds with a bouncer that the batter ducks but it's a good over for the Netherlands.

  6. Ned 25-1published at 5.3 overs

    Target 411

    Another gift and another boundary.

    The ball is sliding down leg from Mohammed Siraj this time and Colin Ackermann just helps it on its way down to fine leg.

  7. Ned 21-1published at 5.1 overs

    Target 411

    Leg stump half-volley from Mohammed Siraj and Colin Ackermann gratefully accepts the gift, whipping the ball through mid-wicket for four.

    Managing the expectation will be the thing for India. We have all known for a month that they are going to make the semi-finals.

    The external noise will be so loud, they know they have underperformed in recent World Cups and everyone is expecting success here.

    They were also knocked out of the 2019 World Cup by New Zealand, so that will play a part as well.

    Another beautiful shot from Max O'Dowd, just opening the face of the bat and using the pace.

  10. Ned 17-1published at 5 overs

    Target 411

    Jasprit Bumrah looks on for back-to-back maidens but Max O'Dowd is able to clip the penultimate delivery through mid-wicket for two.

    The last ball is then full and very wide, allowing O'Dowd to drive smartly through point.

    He waited for it and played it very late. Nice shot.

    The risk that India have is their team strategy, the fact they go for five specialist bowlers and six batters.

    If a bowler gets injured, or just one of them has an off day then it could come undone. We haven't seen it happen yet, however!

  12. Ned 11-1published at 4 overs

    Target 411

    Six from the over to get the Netherlands moving again.

    Given it already looks highly unlikely that they'll be able to get to 411, it will be interesting to see how they approach this innings.

    That is a glorious shot. A rare loose ball, overpitched, and it deserved the punishment.

  14. Ned 10-1published at 3.3 overs

    Target 411

    Fabulous shot from Max O'Dowd.

    Too full from Mohammed Siraj and the Dutch opener crunches the ball through the covers on the drive.

    Four runs.

    I just can't see anyone beating India if they are chasing a total. Their bowling attack is too good.

  16. Ned 5-1published at 3 overs

    Target 411

    Maiden over from Jasprit Bumrah, who is a man at the top of his game.

    Two maidens in the first three overs probably isn't ideal when you're chasing 411 but, having seen what India did to Sri Lanka, England and plenty more, you can understand why the Netherlands might be a little cautious.

    KL Rahul spoke very candidly in the break, saying that the wicketkeeping takes its toll on his body after a batting innings.

    It is quite the effort today after he batted for around 30 overs.

  18. Ned 5-1published at 2 overs

    Target 411

    Wicket maiden to start from Mohammed Siraj. Superb stuff from him.

    Colin Ackermann is the new batter for the Netherlands, whose monumental task has already got that bit tougher.

    Mohammed Siraj celebrates the wicket of Wesley BarresiImage source, Getty Images

    It wasn't a great ball, it was very wide so you can understand why Baressi is throwing the kitchen sink at it.

    He looked very relaxed at the review, didn't look as if he thought he'd hit it but perhaps he was just waiting to see if the catch was taken cleanly.

    Yep, it carries comfortably into the gloves of KL Rahul.

    A big drive from Wesley Barresi outside off, a thin nick behind.

    Mohammed Siraj enticed the drive and Barresi obliged. Great start for India.
