Roelof van der Merwe: It was one of those nights today, I tried different things and it has come off. The start was not good, we had to work with that and got a few after that. It’s a good wicket but it’s a bit two-paced. We have a score on the board. We will take it, we have to execute well and put them under pressure in the field.
19:23 Local Time, 13:53 GMT, 19:23 IST: Kudos to Netherlands for getting 245. They have bossed this game for the last hour or so.
