8.6 Another fine doosra from Ajmal. Kervezee had dashed down the track, looking for the big hit to the on side, but was left stranded by the one that broke away. Akmal does the rest. Top bowling and Pakistan are running hot here. 49/4 |

7.1 Afridi does the trick. What a fine yorker to get rid of the batsman. Zuiderent tried to bring his bat down in a hurry. Blur. The off stump has been uprooted. 42/2 |

8.4 Butt takes the catch and Kamran Akmal rushes to him in glee. Another edge from the slog sweep and Butt settled under it at short fine-leg to take the simple catch. But when you have been dropping left right centre, nothing is easy I guess. It was a nice little doosra 47/3 |

12.5 And then they were three. Malik does a AFridi this time. He sees the batsman rush down the track, slips in a yorker outside off and Akmal does well to collect and break the stumps. 71/7 |

11.1 Afridi has cleaned him up. Pakistan climb all over the Dutch. Grooth moved outside leg, Afridi skids it on towards the leg stump and Grooth misses it completely 61/5 |

11.3 And they continue to crumble under the spin. Shahid Afridi is turning in a little gem of a spell here. Afridi saw van Bunge charge out and slipped in a yorker outside the off stump. van Bunge missed it but Akmal doesn’t. Stumped! 61/6 |

13.3 Afridi is having a great time with the ball and Pakistan maintain their charge through to the next round. Afridi flighted it wide outside off and it was hit straight to long-off 74/8 |

16.4 Another stumping from Akmal. It was another lovely little doosra from Ajmal, who has really impressed today. Nannes had walked into the shot and was beaten by the delivery that broke away. He must have thought that he was bowled as he didn’t initially try to get back. Akmal had not collected cleanly but recovered quickly to break the stumps. nannes turned back only after that. Too late. 90/9 |

17.3 And Pakistan go through to the next round in style. What a Dutch capitulation this has been. Gul cleans up the leg stump. The crowd roar. Netherlands played well against England but couldn’t repeat the trick today. Pakistan didn’t allow them. Their spinners, Ajmal and Afridi in particular, were fantastic. As some of you have mailed in, Kamran Akmal now has the most stumpings in a T20. 93/10 |
