Full commentary

He had the ball in his hands and all he had to do was knock the bails off but he missed with the swipe. Lyons caught up and got home and the Scots win by one wicket with one ball remaining

Outstanding cricket here and the Amstelveen crowd have been treated to a top game of cricket. It was full or everything and the Netherlands dropped the game of an easy catch on the second last ball and then missed the run-out of the last.

The man of the match award has been given to Tom Cooper for his innings of 87 for the Netherlands.

Peter Borren described the defeat as "unbelievable" and admitted that it was hard work in the field in the muggy conditions. The total of 235 was decent but the team conceded too many extras and let Scotland control the game with the bat when they should

have been gone at 80/5. Iqbal anchored the innings with a super 63 and Drummond saw them home with 33*. Tom Cooper said he would be happy to trade all of his 87 runs for a Netherlands victory and they will be gutted after having plenty of chances to win

Do join us again here on Saturday where we will have all the games from the ICC World Cricket League but for now from me Callum Stewart here in Amstelveen, it's goodbye.
