England take 3 quick wickets just after Root drops Carey. Carey currently being checked after taking a bouncer to the noggin (as I predicted the other day). 254-8.

The Netherlands snatch the final World Cup place away from Scotland after chasing down 278 inside 43 overs. Bas de Leede took 5 wickets and scored a century for the Dutch, becoming only the 4th man to do so in a ODI. It will be Netherlands' 5th World Cup appearance and their first since 2011.

SMITH IS GONE. Edges behind. Reviewed it for some unfathomable reason. 85-4.

Smith and Head both dropped by Bairstow. The first chance was difficult but any wicketkeeper should be taking the second one. 85-3 after Woakes removed Labuschagne.

Scotland have set Netherlands 278 to win the crucial World Cup qualifier. The Dutch need to reach the target in 44 overs to go ahead of Scotland in the table on run rate, or 45 overs if they beat the target by six runs.

An article on the AFC website about this month's qualifying draw talks about 45 teams learning their fate. This would suggest Sri Lanka, who are currently suspended by FIFA, won't be included in the draw. That would mean seeds 28-45 playing in the opening round, with the top 27 qualifying for the 2nd round. The seedings will be based on the FIFA rankings due to be published on July 20th.

After a narrow defeat in the first T20, England keep the women's Ashes alive with a 3-run win over Australia in the 2nd T20. England made 186-9 and survived a late onslaught from the Aussies to take victory. Australia lead the series 6-2 with four matches to go and eight points still up for grabs.
