Nagpur: After a career best 119 knock, Ryan ten Doeschate struck again to send packing Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell with two stunners to put the Dutch back in the game at the VCA Ground in Nagpur on Tuesday.
Trott on 62 and Bell on 33 were on a rescue mission as England lost both their openers after a strong start to their chase for the 293 target set by the Netherlands. It’s now a thriller in the making at Nagpur. England need 44 runs to win from 36 balls with two new batsmen out on the strip.
Earlier, the Dutch, who beat England at Lord's in the opening match of the 2009 World Twenty20, exposed a toothless English bowling and fumbling fielding while they set a 293 target.
The Netherlands' total was their best against a Test nation at the World Cup, surpassing the 230 they made against England at Peshawar in 1996.
