Netherlands 239/5 (45.0 ov)
Broad to ten Doeschate, 5 runs, hundred for ten Doeschate and what an innings! 103 off 98 balls, Associate cricket back alive and well! Gets there by flicking a sharp single to short fine leg, throw comes in and cannons off the stumps before running away for four. Is he the first batsman to reach a World Cup hundred with a five?

 

[SinghDude]

KP will probably murder them upfront

 

[SinghDude]

this will be fun to see England work for the runs.

 

[HapticSimian]

I don't think England expected to be challenged at all. Their innings will be fascinating.

 

[AirWolf]

The Dutch are really doing well .

KP will probably murder them upfront

Cricket is a strange game. He may go for a first ball duck .

no that can't happen. i need my fantasy team to do well he must get atleast like 50 and then get out

 

[SinghDude]

The arrogant Poms deserve a rude awakening.

Well played to the Dutch so far.

 

[SinghDude]

[manesan]

Brilliant knock by Doeschate. Best match so far.

 

[HapticSimian]

Best match so far.

Absolutely. Let's just hope they don't bowl like a bunch of tonsils.

48.3
Broad to Borren, OUT
PW Borren b Broad 29 (19b 4x4 0x6) SR: 152.63
48.2
Broad to Borren, FOUR, Broad is smiling, but he doesn't mean it. Short ball, Borren jumps leg side and top edges a cut that sails over Prior's head and bobbles over the boundary
48.2
Broad to Borren, 1 wide, short, shoved down the leg side. Lucky there wasn't a bat on this or it would probably have skirted away for four
48.1
Broad to ten Doeschate, OUT, all over for ten Doeschate but it's been one of the great minnow innings. Just got under a short ball and spooned it down to Bopara on the square-leg boundary but a fabulous knock that has put Netherlands in with a real chance of an upset
RN ten Doeschate c Bopara b Broad 119 (110b 9x4 3x6) SR: 108.18
279/7 after 48.3

 

[manesan]

Lol, Borren sent back into bat.

Eng. only had 3 fielders in the circle.

 

[HapticSimian]

Batsman called back. Was a no ball; only 3 players inside the circle when the ball was delivered.
