40th Match (D/N), Pune, 
v 
England chose to bat and are currently 111-1 after 17 overs, Nelson incoming
133-2 after 20.2
Root trying to be creative and gets nutmegged by a straight one. Completely missed it,
139 - 3
Dutt to Malan, OUT
Run-out appeal, sent upstairs. Length at the stumps, Malan pushed it a few metres to the right of van Beek at cover point and took off. Stokes sent him back but after Malan was a third of the way down. He charged back and put in the dive but his bat was on the crease as Edwards whipped the bails off. Great throw from van Beek too. Low to the left of Edwards, who squatted low
One of these incoming??
It’s all so predictable isn’t it…
de Leede to Brook, OUT
Splices a pull, Ackermann runs in from deep square leg and settles under… and takes it. Dug deep into the pitch by de Leede, it was on the fifth-stump line and Brook tried to whack it across. Went hard, got it off the upper-half of the bat, bottom hand came off right after impact as well. Netherlands have taken 3 for 31 to peg England right back.
164-4 after 26.5
Buttler just give up and join your mate Jason already, chips to mid-off for the simplest of catches, 5 runs from 11 balls.
178-5 from 30.1 overs
FFS now Ali up to it, spoons a catch to long-off in the deep.
192-6 from 35.2 overs (from 133-1)
England aren’t even going to make 50 overs at this rate.
So limp from Moeen! Looped up, he leans into a lofted drive, gets neither power nor placement through the stroke. A powder-puff launch, floats to long-off as if on a parachute, which is much as this innings now is.
Typical Stokes inning, he’s soaked up the pressure and then put his foot down, 100 up with a reverse sweep 4.
310-6 from 48
64 runs in the last 4 overs.
Woakes gone for 51 swinging and gets a thin snick to the keeper
321-7 from 48.4 overs
Stokes now out 108 from 84 balls. Tried to hit the ball too hard!!
England 334-9 from 49.4 overs
Just made it 339-9
124 runs from the last 10 overs

And of the 17th over and Netherlands are 65-2 in reply.
Root thought he had snaffled Sybrand but the 3rd umpire didn’t give it out as it was unclear whether the ball had hit the ground or not.
Oh wait, Barresi has just run himself out, well out
67-3 after 17.2 overs
Netherlands 169-8 after 36 overs.
Netherlands 179ao, England win by 160 runs.
England now 7th in the table and in the Champions Trophy spots.
Yawn
