FIFTY for Shakib Al Hasan! The left-hander has played a good knock and he will look to finish on a high! He has batted with a lot of responsibility and held the innings together. 

OUT! Tim Pringle is into the wickets now and he has dismissed Towhid Hridoy. The right-hander gave himself room but missed the ball which took out the leg-stump. Netherlands keep on taking wickets to stem the flow of runs.
