6.3 OUT! TIMBER! That is brilliant, just brilliant. Pretty sure Paul van Meekeren would have enjoyed that wicket. Pushed the batter onto the back foot by bowling the last one short and quick. Now goes for the yorker and it is a corker of a yorker at over 145 KPH. Pathum Nissanka is late in getting his bat down. The ball sneaks through and hits the off pole. This is a really good start for the Dutch. 36/1

19.2 OUT! TAKEN! That is a superb catch to end a brilliant, brilliant innings from Mendis! Single-handedly has taken his side to a score which we feel is really good on this wicket. Timm van der Gugten goes for another yorker but ends up serving a low full toss, Mendis looks to heave it over the leg side but it goes off the top edge towards deep square leg. It is very well taken by Roelof van der Merwe! 157/6

6.4 OUT! LBW! This gets even better now for Netherlands! Paul van Meekeren is on fire here. Two in two for him. This could be considered as a fortunate wicket. Dhananjaya de Silva might have survived had he reviewed it. Paul van Meekeren though won't care. He goes full yet again, around middle and leg. Dhananjaya de Silva looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. A loud appeal and the finger is raised. Dhananjaya de Silva has a chat with his partner but the review is not taken. Sri Lanka in trouble. Paul van Meekeren on fire. We saw a hat-trick in the last game Sri Lanka played and it was against them, will it happen again? Also, Hawk Eye shows the ball to be missing leg. It did look that way but no review taken. 36/2

14.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! There is the wicket Netherlands desperately needed! These two were going along really well. This is on a length and outside off, it lands and moves away. Charith Asalanka slashes at it but it goes off the outside edge and Scott Edwards takes a good catch diving forward. A good innings by Charith Asalanka! He played the supporting role to Mendis. Can Netherlands build on this now? 96/3

17.2 OUT! TAKEN! That is an easy catch! Bas de Leede good form in this World Cup continues. He gets rid of the dangerous Bhanuka Rajapaksa! A low full toss, almost a yorker. Not easy to hit those. Bhanuka Rajapaksa looks to whip it but it goes off the toe-end. Tim Pringle takes it at long on. Can they keep Sri Lanka to under 160? 130/4

18.4 OUT! TAKEN! That is where you want the batter to hit on this ground. Straight down the ground. The boundaries are so long, just not easy to clear it. On middle, a slower one. It is heaved down the ground towards long on. Colin Ackermann takes a really good catch tracking back and just ahead of the ropes. 151/5

3.5 OUT! TAKEN! That was coming! Vikramjit Singh was not able to connect the ball at all. This is full and on middle, angling in. Singh gets on his knee to slog it over mid on but fails to make the required connection and ends up spooning it to Dasun Shanaka at mid on. Sri Lanka off to a good start. 23/1

6 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Right at the end of the Powerplay, Sri Lanka have a wicket and a big one of De Leede! Back of a length and outside off. Bas de Leede opens the face of the bat and tries to run it down to third man but only manages an outside edge and it goes to the keeper. An appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Bas de Leede knew he edged one there and starts walking away. What an over from Lahiru Kumara. Netherlands are 40/2. 123 runs needed in 84 balls. 40/2

6.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! An easy return catch for Wanindu Hasaranga and another one goes now! Netherlands are losing their grip on the chase! This is the wrong 'un, full and around off. Colin Ackermann prods and chips it straight back to Wanindu Hasaranga who takes an easy catch. Golden duck for Colin Ackermann. 47/3

11.3 OUT! TIMBER! A stand was building but Maheesh Theekshana gets the breakthrough. Excellent bowling. The required rate was rising and Tom Cooper has to go for something innovative but fails to connect. A flicker, this is full and around off. Tom Cooper plays the wrong line as he looks to sweep. He misses and the stumps are disturbed. 72/4

14.3 OUT! BOWLED! Another timely wicket from Sri Lanka! They are doing well to break the stand regularly. Binura Fernando strikes this time. One shot too many from the skipper! A knuckle ball, full and slanting at the base of the leg pole. Scott Edwards gets inside the line to sweep but misses and the ball hits the stumps. Just when Netherlands were running away, Sri Lanka strike. 100/5

16 OUT! RUN OUT! A DIRECT HIT AND PRINGLE GOES NOW! Max O'Dowd is running out of partners. This is on middle. O'Dowd bunts it to wide of long on and calls for a couple. Tim Pringle was running on the dangerous side. Dhananjaya de Silva runs across, collects and hits the stumps at the bowler's end. The replay shows Tim Pringle was not even in the frame. 105/6

16.1 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Two in two for the Lankans! What a bowling performance this is! A googly from the magician, flatter, slower in the air and on middle. Timm van der Gugten lunges forward to work on the leg side but misses and the ball hits the leg pole. Wanindu Hasaranga gets his second. 105/7

17 OUT! TIMBER! Wanindu Hasaranga gets his third wicket. Fred Klaassen comes down the track as he looks to heave it. Wanindu Hasaranga serves it full. slow and on middle, the ball stays really low and goes past Fred's bat to dislodge the stumps. 109/8

17.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Sri Lanka are getting closer. A full toss on leg. Max O'Dowd mistimes his push straight to cover. Paul van Meekeren was running across but there was never a run. He is sent back. Dasun Shanaka comes up with the golden arm, he throws it on the non-striker's end and finds Paul van Meekeren well short. 123/9
