3:51 PM IST Presentation Time...

3:50 PM IST Earlier in the game, after electing to bat first, England posted a big total on the board courtesy of a nice half-century from Dawid Malan at the start but the main credit goes to an exceptional hundred from Ben Stokes who took his team out of trouble after struggling in the middle overs. He was also well supported by Chris Woakes who registered a fine fifty as well. Bas de Leede was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets while Aryan Dutt and Logan van Beek picked up a couple each. Paul van Meekeren chipped in with one too. While chasing, Netherlands did show some fight with a couple of good partnerships but they needed a lot more than that and the target proved to be too much for them in the end.
