00:00Graham Hick happily restored to full fitness after that pulled hamstring in

00:05the first match against New Zealand at Ahmedabad in India. He missed the match

00:10against the UAE. Very impressive average.

00:15In the air, that's found the gap.

00:30Boris Janssen's after it but he won't get there. First boundary of the day.

00:45Shot. That'll get to the extra cover fence. Superb timing from Graham Hick. He

00:58really does look in excellent touch. This is a classy shot. Just stands up, crispy.

01:06Beautifully played and very well picked up indeed.

01:21Not surprisingly the man was a bit nippy out there. Zaid Arendt is the man who is

01:26the youngest in the World Cup competition to 17 years old.

01:36That's in the air. Oh! Fingertips and four.

01:46It's 52 for 2.

01:57It was a very positive stroke but it really diced with the fingertips of

02:02Lubbers, the Holland captain, who got a touch on it.

02:10Hit it very hard, but that has to go down as a half chance.

02:17Getting Holland into the Premier One Day competition in England. That's a good throw.

02:36The Dutch are going to need some help in their development.

02:42Good throw here from PJ Bucker, an experienced cricketer of course.

03:01Holland are just not able to stem the flow of runs. It's not that they're

03:05getting boundaries all the time in England, but they're just knocking it

03:08around quite easily into the gaps.

03:17That's very well placed indeed. Beautifully placed.

03:23Shows the exact spot to bisect those two fielders.

03:31Yes, it's the perfect example of what I was saying about the offspin is so slow.

03:37It's given Graeme Hick time to get back. Picky spot and play a very nice well-placed back foot full.

03:47And that's Graeme Hick's 50.

03:55So the half century for Hick coming very shortly after the one which is scored by Thorpe.

04:00And the partnership is 100 exactly. 1.42 for two.

04:16Big shout for LBW.

04:21KG France's Sri Lankan umpire. Well this is a really predetermined shot. You see the foot's

04:27down early. The time it hits him is out.

04:39That's good running from Atherton. First time we've seen it in this innings really.

04:57England move to 200.

05:11Won't quite get away for Thorpe. Oh what a kick-off.

05:16Some people might have put a boot on that.

05:19Further with the injury. As you can see he's struggling a little bit there and

05:24you have to get the long strides out towards the end. Well controlled sweep.

05:28Rolling to the wrists. This really is a good piece of work for a man who's about 60% fit.

05:36It's gone away fine.

05:53Hick going for the sweep. Not out says umpire Francis.

06:01Flores Janssen to Graham Hick.

06:05Lovely shot.

06:08Poor miss field in Thorpe.

06:16Zader in for the culprit. Yeah through no fault of the bowlers. The bowler very sensibly kept

06:22the ball pitched up. Even when Graham Hick advanced and gave himself room. That should

06:27have been one two at the most. Bowlers have to be backed up by good feeling especially

06:34when they're under pressure. That's a big one.

06:44Can't get there. It's six.

06:46Well I think that's disappointing for the bowler. I think he's bowled very well and so is Lefebvre

06:50at the other end. At the death it's always difficult. He made the batsman hit to his field

06:56placings and I think he should have caught that. He came in a couple of yards. He should have stood

07:01still and I think the bowler and the captain would have expected him to catch it. A lot of time to

07:09see it. Full toss. That'll be down to long on. Well fielded this time. Two more to Graham Hick.

07:1916 from that over. A good one for England. 261 for Thorpe.

07:23Graham Hick hit a beautiful six.

07:25Lefebvre to Hick.

07:55He'll take him on to 96. He can't get back. He's lost the strike.

08:14Tim DeLayda, pick on 97.

08:26That's a good six. What a way to bring up a century.

08:32Graham Hick.

08:37Up to three figures in the Grand Manor.

08:40Splendid innings by Graham Hick. He looks England's best batsman in this competition.

08:46And he's looked to take the Dutch attack apart.

08:56That's wide. Down the left side, it'll be four runs.

09:02Full wide signal by Steve Buckner.

09:09Well, Graham Hick went to his hundred by picking the off-spinner.

09:14He's obviously seen Bucker bowl it before. He was waiting for it and just smacked it out of the ground.

09:26Hick's found the only man down there at fine leg.

09:33No run. Two balls to go.

09:36103 for Graham Hick.

09:38Within two of his best ever effort in one day internationals.

09:42That was in the subcontinent as well at Waliore against India.

09:51Good ball from back up.

09:56So Graham Hick's going to have to be satisfied with 104.

10:01He'll come to the last ball of the innings.
