Paul van Meekeren to Michael Leask. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Lion-Cachet. That brings us to the end of the first innings. After opting to bat, Scotland has posted a massive total on the board as a target for the away team. George Munsey, at the top of the order, played an exceptional knock of 191 runs off 150 balls, followed by the skipper Matthew Cross in the middle order scoring 59 runs. There were also contributions from the other batters to help Scotland reach this total. For the Netherlands, Aryan Dutt and Michael Levitt are the pick of the bowlers taking two wickets each, unlucky to not have more as several chances went begging throughout the innings. Let's see whether the Dutch batters can chase this down after a 30-minute break.
