Early Wickets. The Men in Orange have lost two of them.

Woakes produced the first wicket, the second one was taken by Willey. NED- 13/2 after 5.4 Overs.

Hundred For Stokes. What a knock this has been and a partnership between him and Woakes who is also approaching a fifty. Can Woakes get to that mark too? England are past 300. ENG- 310/6 after 48 overs.
7 overs to go, England- 239/6.
Fifty for Ben Stokes. Spirited effort from the all-rounder. England need him to bat through the innings now.

Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali In The Middle for England.

England Losing Their Way once again. Third wicket in quick succession and this time it is Harry Brook who falls. Tries to whack this ball from outside off onto the on side but the connection is far from perfection. Catch taken in the deep. Netherlands take 3/31 suddenly to reduce England to 164/4.

Background
In the 40th match of the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, defending champions England are set to face the Netherlands. Unfortunately for Jos Buttler's team, their World Cup campaign has taken a disastrous turn, unlike anything seen from defending champions. As it stands, England find themselves at the bottom of the points table, even trailing the Netherlands, their opponents in the upcoming game scheduled for November 8 (Wednesday) in Pune.
England's campaign has been plagued by a series of disappointments, and they have already been eliminated from contention to defend their title. This has led to discussions and evaluations within the team and cricketing community.
England's performances in this World Cup have been far from the aggressive and dynamic ‘Bazball’ approach that was expected. They appeared lackluster and, at times, timid in their seven matches, particularly against India. They seemed vulnerable against every opponent they faced. Some argue that they struggled to adapt to the diverse conditions of the different Indian venues, which contrast with the more consistent conditions in England. As Moeen Ali recently pointed out, the signs of their struggles were evident from the beginning, but they failed to address them.
Despite England's current woes, the Netherlands would still regard them as a formidable side and expect them to bounce back.
For England, the goal now is to avoid the embarrassment of failing to qualify for the Champions Trophy. In this revised mission, they need a win against the Netherlands, a team that have proven their mettle with two victories in seven games, one more than England. The match on Wednesday carries considerable significance in this context.
The match between England and the Netherlands is set to take place on November 8 at 2:00 PM IST at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. A win for either side in this crucial contest could significantly impact their chances of qualifying for the Champions Trophy.
Pitch and Weather Report:
The cricket pitches at the Pune ground are typically prepared using black soil, and this stadium has hosted a total of nine One Day International (ODI) matches. These pitches are known for favouring batsmen, offering good conditions for run-scoring. The highest team score recorded at this venue in an ODI match is 356, indicating that it is indeed a batting-friendly wicket.
The weather forecast for November 8 (Wednesday) in Pune indicates that there is no threat of rain during the day. The temperature is expected to range from 32 degrees Celsius as the high to 22 degrees Celsius as the low. The humidity levels are forecasted to be around 61 percent during the day, which may increase to 78 percent at night.
