Well, what an opening match we’ve had, ladies and gents. It’s all coming down to the last over. Seven to win for Netherlands! Who’d have predicted this? Not I, sir. Collingwood’s chatting to Broad and Anderson, and it’ll be Broad going around the wicket19.1Broad to ten Doeschate, 1 run, cracked out to the off side, Broad fields and should run him out – but misses! That’s the fourth run-out opportunity they’ve missed tonight alone19.2Broad to Schiferli, 1 run, tries to smack it out to cover but can’t time it. Broad fields and does a Jonty Rhodes, diving onto the stumps. But as his right hand (holding the ball) hits the turf, he releases the ball – it’s his hand which smashes the bails! Not out19.3Broad to ten Doeschate, 1 run, Broad’s dropped a wellied smash to a full toss! High above his head and it took a while to reach him19.4Broad to Schiferli, 1 bye, he plays and misses, the ball flies through to keeper who is standing back – and they run a bye!19.5Broad to ten Doeschate, 1 run, another smash, but he picks out mid-on! Only a single. Good grief, this is so tense19.6Broad to Schiferli, 2 runs, goes for a club, Broad again fields – they run, and Broad has all three stumps as he collects it in his follow through. But he misses, and they run an overthrow. They’re through and Netherlands have scored a brilliant, outstanding upset here for the first match at Lord’s!
