England v Netherlands: England, under captain Paul Collingwood, are put in to bat but rain at Lord's delays Robert Key making his international Twenty20 debut, taking the place of unfit Kevin Pietersen
Ravi Bopara hits the first ball for four as he and Luke Wright continue on to make exactly 100 off 11 overs, including 13 off the sixth
Bopara impresses with some adventurous shots in front of a three-quarters full Lord's, making 46 from 34 balls before being caught trying to pull a boundary to long-on
Owais Shah comes and goes for five and when Eoin Morgan soon follows, caught at backward point despite a well-played shot, the Dutch look to be arresting England's good start
Next to Bopara's timing, Wright appears to be casually flaying everything thrown at him, but it is the Grantham youngster who makes the greater contribution - 71 from 49 balls, including eight fours
Wright departs, Key replacing him, but the last two overs of England's innings are a quiet mess given their good start, including the wicket of Collingwood for 11 and some desperate running from James Foster
With England making 162 from the full 20 overs, the Dutch lose danger-man Alexei Kervezee in their first over, only for Darron Reekers to deliver some gusto with 20 from 13 balls, including two sixes
Reekers is soon caught, and Bas Zuiderent follows after a good stumping, but Tom de Grooth is playing the innings of his life, Borren supporting, putting Netherlands on 91-3 after 10 overs
The visiting underdogs are easing ahead in the run-rate by the 12th over, nobody in Lord's, least of all those in Orange, can believe it, but they are certainly enjoying it
The lights are up, the rain is coming down, but the Dutch roll on and the captain of the host nation can't believe that a team half-composed of amateurs are in charge at Lord's
It's a tame end to a pugnacious innings when De Grooth top edges the ball to Key but, with the run-rate falling as well and every delivery yielding runs, the game is still Netherlands' to lose
England are coming unstuck, owing as much to Netherlands' canny harvesting of singles and twos as missing a series of opportunities to run them out from Foster, Collingwood, and Broad
The Netherlands need seven off the final over and two off the last ball and complete a sensational win thanks to an overthrow from Stuart Broad
Broad can't believe what has happened while the rest of the team trudge off after one of the most humiliating defeats in the history of English cricket
The Netherlands players go crazy after securing the biggest win of their careers
