Pieter Seelaar to Andy McBrine
OUT! LBW! Umpire's call on wickets hitting and the skipper's gamble to bring himself on has worked wonders. A drifter which pitches on middle and skids on. McBrine looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pad. An appeal follows and the umpire takes his time before raising his finger. McBrine takes the review straightaway. Replay rolls in and Ultra Edge shows no involvement of bat. Time for the Ball Tracker and it shows the ball to be kissing the leg pole. Kissing enough to send McBrine back to the pavilion but save the review.

Pieter Seelaar to Barry McCarthy
OUT! CAUGHT! Brilliant catch and skipper Seelaar has turned the game on its head. Pieter gives this one air and flight as he bowls it around off. McCarthy goes for the drive and hits it uppishly to the left of short extra cover. Lagan van Beek there dives and takes a very good catch. 2 wickets and just a run of the over. Can he finish it well?

Pieter Seelaar to Josh Little
Yes he can! Just a single off the final ball. Short around off, Little punches it to long off and keeps the strike. 17 needed off 18. Remember, if it is a tie, we will have a Super Over.

Logan van Beek to Josh Little
Dot to finish the over. Just 2 off the over. The last ball is a length ball around off, Little taps it to the off side and calls for a quick run. Simi Singh shows awareness and says no quickly as he knows he needs to play majority of the final 12 balls if Ireland are to win this.

Fred Klaassen to Josh Little
DROPPED! Good effort in the deep but cannot hold onto it. Fuller around off, Little hits it across the line. This time he connects but does not time it. The fielder at deep mid-wicket dives to his right but fails to hold onto it. That allows the batters to take two. 12 needed off the final over.

WIDE! Harsh on the bowleer! SImi Singh comes inside the stumps and looks to hit it over fine leg. Van Beek bowls it around leg. Simi misses and the umpire signals it as wide.

Logan van Beek to Simi Singh
OUT! RUN OUT! Simi Singh's bat is in the air and he has to walk back! Is it the final nail in this chase? Slower ball which is back of a length around leg. Simi hits it through mid-wicket. He calls for two which is always going to be a risk. The throw at the keeper's end is a bit wide. Edwards does well to gather and whips the bails. The square leg umpire takes it upstairs. Replays find Simi Singh has failed to ground his bat and his willow is in the air when Edwards has whipped the bails.

Play and a miss! Josh Little tries to scoop but he misses and Netherlands have managed to hold onto their nerves. Full outside off, Little shuffles inside his crease and paddle it. He misses. Little is disappointed but Young calls for the run. Edwards keeps his calm. He runs towards the stumps with the ball in hand. NETHERLANDS WIN BY 1 RUN!
