11th over: Pringle puts the breaks on India somewhat early in the over, before Sharma answers the challenge with two boundaries. 

10th over: Sharma steps off his back foot and sends one racing away to the boundary. It gets better though, when he chips a six as India accelerate their run rate. The most expensive over of the innings so far with 14 off it.

50-run partnership comes up between @ImRo45 & @imVkohli ????????

9th over: The teenager Shariz bowls his first over, with Kohli looking to get aggressive. India brings up their half-century. Just five off the over. 

8th over: Van Beek comes into the attack, with India happy to work three singles in succession. The Sharma smashes his second six out of nowhere! But he then gets pinned lbw the next ball. The captain reviews the decision, and he is given his second reprieve of the game with bat involved. 48/1

7th over: The powerplay is over, with the Dutch happy with their work in the early stages. They've restricted India's run-rate and claimed a wicket. Pringle's second over is another tidy one. 38/1

6th over: Sharma and Kohli work van Meekeren around the ground, until Pringle almost catches a stray one down leg side. It just falls short though. 32/1

5th over: A single gets Kohli off strike, with Sharma then going big. He smacks one down the ground and should be caught but it's dropped in the outfield. Big let off for the captain. 

4th over: Kohli comes to the crease to huge cheers. Sharma strokes another boundary as India keep the score ticking over. 23/1

3rd over: Wicket! The Netherlands continues to rotate through their bowlers with van Meekeren taking the ball. On his fourth delivery he traps Rahul lbw! The batter contemplates challenging the decision but elects not to after a lengthy discussion with Sharma. The captain then smashes a six to end the over. 18/1

2nd over: As is customary with the Dutch side, Pringle takes the second over. It's a steady over with India able to score just two. 9/0

1st over: Klassen takes the new ball with Rahul on strike- the batter digs it out and then a wide is bowled as India gets off zero. Rahul then hits his first boundary with a drive down the ground. 7/0

6:10pm: Both team's national anthems have been aired and play is about to get underway at the SCG. 

6:05pm: Netherlands - Vikramjit Singh, Max O'Dowd, Bas de Leede, Tom Cooper, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (C) (WK), Tim Pringle, Logan van Beek, Shariz Ahmad, Fred Klaassen, Paul van Meekeren. 

India - KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma (C), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammad Shami, Arshdeep Singh.

5:55pm: The match was originally scheduled to start shortly, but the toss has just occurred. Rohit Sharma won it and elected to bat first. Both sides are unchanged from their opening game. 

5:35pm: "We are not resting anyone," India's bowling coach Paras Mhambrey confirmed. 

"When you have got momentum in the tournament, you want individuals to be in form as well, so every game becomes important."

5:30pm: Hello and welcome to Sporting News' live blog for this clash between India and the Netherlands at the T20 World Cup. The toss has been delayed due to the game between South Africa and Bangladesh going on for longer than anticipated.
