Patience was needed and it was sadly lacking. He threw his wicket away. 17/2 42.1 to Noor Ali Zadran, A faint edge through to Buurman and Ali's resistance is over! That's the key wicket for the Dutch. 111/4 84.6 to Mirwais Ashraf, There's a breakthrough! Buurman dives to his right and snares a great catch. Still hope for the Dutch. 197/8 88.2 to Shapoor Zadran, Shapoor doesn't play a shot and is taken on the back pad. No doubt there, a superb bit of bowling!
