25th over - Henry returns to the attack. The Dutch making a determined effort to occupy the crease here but the run rate is creeping up quickly, over eight now.

Vikramjit Singh lbw b Henry 25 (47b 1x4 1x6)
22nd over - De Leede drives CDG straight for four.

13th over - Bracewell has O'Dowd chasing a couple of wide ones. OUT - Huge shout for LBW! Umpire takes a long look but says no. Latham wants another look at it, and his decision pays off!

12th over - Colin de Grandhomme up for his first of the night. OUT - The partnership breaker comes to the fore to take the crucial wicket of Myburgh. Fantastic knock from the opener.

6th over - Jamieson again. Bang! Myburgh blasts him over square leg for six. He's raced to 43 off just 23 balls.

3rd over - Henry continues. Myburgh with a thick top edge, falls to safety. Big LBW shout off the final delivery, umpire says no.
2nd over - Kyle Jamieson to open from the other end. Dropped! Myburgh crushes one to Nicholls at point who gets two hands to it but can't hold on. Myburgh pulls for four. This is reportedly his final innings for his country, why not go out swinging? Crunches the final ball through cover for four. How bout this?
1st over - Here we go, can the Dutch get close to this initimidating total? The light have taken effect at Seddon park, as Taylor takes the field by himself to another round of applause.
Matt Henry gets the ball first. Great start for Myburgh who slams two boundaries to get their chase underway. Make that three, cuts a wide one for four more. Great start for the visitors.
That will do us for the NZ innings, which was anchored by two masterful centuries by Martin Guptill (106) and Will Young (120).
Ross Taylor got an opportunity for a late cameo, delighting the crowd with a trademark six over cow corner. He departed for 14 to a rousing ovation, signalling the end of his international career.
Join us back here shortly for the Dutch chase.

Will Young lbw b Dutt 120 (112b 6x4 4x6)
43rd over - Van Beek to Young, mistimnes a drive but sneaks a single. Couple of perfect blockhole dot balls to Taylor. Chasing the wide line a little too hard, couple of extras.

When can we mention the elephant in the room - Will Ross Taylor actually get a bat?
Will Young slams one over midwicket for six coming out of the drinks break. Time to accelerate perhaps?
34th over - De Leede returns with his medium pace. Oh no! Young is caught on the boundary but the fielder has misjudged how close to the rope he was, throwing it back in unnecessarily. Had at least a couple of metres behind him.
33rd over - Young sweeps Floyd, well saved on the boundary. Works a single to mid-on. No rush whatsoever from the Blackcaps, very composed.
32nd over - Guptill lofts a high one over long-off for four.

28th over - Dutt into the bowling attack with some off-spin. Seven off the over.

20th over - Rippon continues. Young advances and lofts a drive back over the bowler's head for four. After some early struggles, NZ will be pleased with the platform they've build themselves here. Guptill sweeps another one fine for four to end the over.
19th over - Guptill guides a loose delivery off Seelaar fine for four.
18th over - Michael Rippon enters the attack for Netherlands. On the money from the outset, just three off the over.

11th over - Guptill edgy on the drive off Floyd but he'll pick up a boundary. Sweeps the next delivery for four.
10th over - Bas de Leede into the attack with some medium pace. Sneakily quick single from Young, has his stumps thrown down but he's safely home. The man is rapid. Guptill completely mistimes a pull shot, skies it briefly. Just a single to end a power play Netherlands will be very satisfied with.
9th over - First over of spin for the day from Clayton Floyd. Three runs from the over, solid areas early.
8th over - Just a single off the van Beek over.
7th over - Excellent start by the Dutch bowlers, line and length on the mark. Young looks to free the shackles but mistimes one over cover for just a single. Lovely off drive by Guptill for four, that's the release they were after.
6th over - Van Beek continues. Guptill leaves one and almost has his middle stump collected. Quick single to end the over.
5th over - OUT - Nicholls pulls and misses, the keeper takes it and goes up, big appeal. Umpire says no, they'll ask for a review. Looks a clear edge, Nicholls is on his way.
Henry Nicholls c Edwards b Klaassen 2 (12b 0x4 0x6)
Guptill plays one off his hip to fine leg for four.
4th over - Nicholls pulls firmly but only earns one. Van Beek nips one back off the seam and almost sneaks through Guptill's bat and pad. Guptill cramped on the leg glance, gets some glove on it and it runs away for the first boundary of the day.
3rd over - Klaassen continues. Free hit for Guptill, slashes through cover for two.

1:57pm - Taylor has his children lined up next to him for the anthems and the family are belting it out. Special times.

___________________________________________________________________________
Kia ora, good afternoon and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the third Blackcaps v Netherlands one-day international at Hamilton's Seddon Park.
While New Zealand chase a sweep of their three-match series against the Dutch, probably more importantly, they will want to bid fitting farewell to one of their greatest players - master batter Ross Taylor - who plays his last match for his country.
Although the Blackcaps have largely dominated the previous two encounters, winnning by seven wickets and 118 runs respectively, Taylor has been relatively quiet with the bat, scoring just 11 and one.
Not only will New Zealand hope to complete their dominance, they will hope Taylor can put the exclamation mark on a career that has set the standard for international batsmanship.
His test career ended in most improbable fashion, when he took just his third bowling scalp in 112 matches against Bangladesh in January. What can he produce in his white-ball swansong?
While the margin of victory two days ago suggested a comprehensive hometeam performance, Netherlands actually had their hosts 32/5, before captain Tom Latham and his lower order resurrected their innings, eventually compiling 264/9 in their 50 overs.
New Zealand will hope for a more complete performance on such an auspicious occasion. Join us at 1:30pm for the toss.
