At 12.30pm the final Netherland wicket has fallen and a very impressive all round performance from the Ireland team.

The last six Dutch wickets fell in an hour and a half this morning with only the addition of 65 runs. Netherlands now have five losses and Ireland have notched up their first win

I would like to thank you for following the coverage of the game and this is me Justin Smyth saying goodbye from the Leinster cricket ground in Dublin.
