Reading this description makes me feel as if I were there! Finally, from the last ball of the 13th over, De Grooth's drive off Collingwood caught a leading edge and looped invitingly to extra cover.
But with 47 needed from the last 42 balls, the Dutch were favourites, especially with the accomplished Ten Doeschate at the crease.
England dug deep. Their ground-fielding remained nervous, as run-out chances were squandered, but for the time being their catching did not.
However, with little more than singles needed, the Dutch continued to go for glorious boundaries, and that gave England a chance.
Borren skied a pull shot, Daan van Bunge speared a catch to deep point and with 16 wanted from the last 10 balls England were back in it.
At that precise moment, Ten Doeschate launched a Sidebottom full toss into the off-side, and Morgan, diving at full length in front of the Dutch fans, dropped a tough chance and parried the ball over the ropes for four.
Though Broad then had his chances to save England's blushes at the death, by then the Dutch would not have deserved to lose.

He sounds like he had a Michael Douglas moment that sent him over the edge - I've seen it happen, but not in quite so extreme a form. On www.ratemyteachers.com apparently his rating has only slipped to 3.7, last time I checked...a colleague of mine who retired due to stress and hearing issues recently went out on 2.2... I'm far too embarrassed to admit I'm a perfect 5..oops, I did

Currently Glagow advertisies itself as "Scotland with Style". Now that's one way to make yourself the laughing stock of the whole nation. I Love Glasow, how couldn't you?

Wigan's bid for Heinz beans fame"We are famous for pies, now our beans - then it can all be washed it all down with our renowned Uncle Joe's mint balls." Typical BBC website editing, there.
