NED vs IRE Live Cricket Score

0.4 OUT! TIMBER! Kevin O'Brien goes for a duck. Not the start he wanted for himself and surely not the start Ireland would have wanted after electing to bat. Fred Klaassen finds the breakthrough via a peach of a delivery. A length ball, on middle and leg, Kevin O'Brien looks to defend it but completely misses. As the ball finds the gap and goes through the bat and pad to disturb the stumps. That came in really nicely. Good start for Netherlands. 0/1

2.2 OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! Klassen gets his second for the day, as he knocks out both the openers of Ireland. A length ball, outside off, width offered again but this time Paul Stirling couldn't connect it with the middle. He swings his blade but get an outside edge as Scott Edwards takes an easy catch behind the stumps to his right. Fred Klaassen has the big fish. Netherlands are over the moon and Ireland in deep trouble now. 6/2

9.4 OUT! TIMBER! Kingma gets his man. An important wicket for the  Orange army. Fires in a length ball, on off, Balbirnie completely misses his defence as the ball finds the gap between bat and pad as it goes on to rattle the stumps. Third wicket down for Ireland. As Andy Balbirnie has to depart early. He needed to be forward there but he hangs back, the ball stays low and gets the better of him. Risky to hang back on such low wickets and Balbirnie pays the price. 28/3

36.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! van Beek gets into the picture as well by picking up an important wicket and deprating the well-set Harry Tector. The Netherlands will be pleased now after getting this wicket. Serves a good length ball, outside off, Tector looks to attack the ball but only manages to get a thick outside edge, as the ball find its way into Scott Edwards mitts. The Ireland are now being pushed on the back foot. 128/5

32.4 OUT! TIMBER! There is the wicket Netherlands desperately needed. This stand was really starting to flourish. Timely one. That though did not bounce at all. Dockrell's innings comes to an end, he played oh so well but not much you can do with such deliveries. It is just shorter than a length. Dockrell hangs back to defend but this one stays low, goes under the bat and hits the bottom off the off pole. Can Netherlands now build on this? 117/4

38.5 OUT! TAKEN! Tucker is a goner now and Ireland have lost three in quick succession and are in deep trouble. This is short and on middle, Tucker is probably in two minds whether to pull it or not to. In the end, he ends up playing a half-hearted pull, it hits the splice and lobs to mid on. 131/6

40.5 OUT! LBW! Umpires call on impact and wickets hitting. Van der Gugten gets his second for the day. He has been pretty impressive with the ball. Serves a length ball, nips in. A loud shout for LBW and umpire raises his finger. McBrine goes for the review. The ultra edge confirms there is no spike as the ball as it passes the bat. The ball tracker shows that that the impact is Umpires call as it is hitting the stumps. Ireland in deep trouble now. 139/7

46.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Soft dismissal for Barry. Eight down now the Irish. Klassen gets his third, and he completely deserves it. A lengh ball on off, Barry McCarthy  chips it straight to Pieter Seelaar at mid-wicket who takes a simple catch. 154/8

48 OUT! LBW! Josh Little departs with just a run. Logan van Beek gets his third now. The bowlers have done a great job here for the Netherlands. Serves a length ball, on the pads, Little looks to flick it but misses and gets hit on the pads. A loud appeal for LBW and the umpire raises his finger. Little does not review and we wonder why? That seemed to be heading down leg and looking at the replays, it indeed seems like it would have gone down leg. Also, Ultra Edge shows a spike. 159/9

49.2 OUT! RUN OUT! With this Ireland lose their final wicket. Young is eager to change the strike and loses his wicket in the process. Good length ball, on off, Young defends it onto the pitch. As he ventures out for a non-existant run. The bowler does really well on his followthrough as he sees the batsman out of his crease and he dives forward to pick up the ball and strike the stumps. A loud appeal, as the umpire takes it to the third umpire. The replays show that Young is outside the crease by a margin and is a goner. 163/10

43.1 OUT! TIMBER! Myburgh was in a hurry to finish it but could not see off the game. A consolation wicket for Ireland here. A loopy ball, on off, Stephan Myburgh gets low and looks to sweep it but misses his shot as the ball goes through his bat and rattles the stump. A good innings by Stephan Myburgh comes to an end. He has got the team closer towards the victory. 158/4

14.4 OUT! TIMBER! The off-breaker does the trick for Simi Singh as he finds the breakthrough here. Max O'Dowd gets beaten with his defence and he has to depart after a really great start. Loopy ball on off, Max O'Dowd opens the face of the bat to defend it but misses, as the ball stays in line and goes on to disturb the off-stump. 66/1

17.1 OUT! Edged and taken! There is number two and it is Barry who gets it. The move to send Edwards up the order fails. This is a full ball outside off, Edwards looks to drive but this one flies off the outside edge and it is taken at first slip. Ireland slowly coming back into the game. Two wickets in quick succession. 97 more needed. 67/2

24.4 OUT! There is a spike on Ultra Edge and Musa is a goner! Little strikes as soon as he has been got back. This is a brilliant review from Ireland. It is a length ball on off, it lands and holds its lines Musa is squared up as he tries block. There is a noise as it passes the bat. It is not a massive appeal and it is turned down by the umpire. Ireland review and it shows that there is an edge. Ireland hanging in there. They need a couple more quickly. 96/3

44.3 OUT! CAUGHT! A loose shot by Bas de Leede and he gets punished for it. Loopy ball, on off, Bas de Leede flicks it with soft hands straight to the fielder at mid on who takes an easy catch. Andy McBrine gets his first of the day but is it too late now? 2 more runs required for the Dutch. 162/5

45.2 OUT! LBW! What is happening here? Can this be a turna aorund for Ireland. They really toubling the opposition to see off the game. This time its the captain to depart. Loopy ball, on off, Pieter Seelaar looks to sweep it but misses and gets hit into the pads. A loud appeal for LBW and the umpire raises his finger. Still two required for Netherlands. 162/6
