LOL the cricket is breaking news on sky sports

Hosts England crashed to a humiliating four-wicket loss to the Netherlands off the last ball of a thrilling opening to the World Twenty20 at a rainy Lord's.

Ravi Bopara (46) and Luke Wright (71) put on 100 but England struggled for boundaries and finished on 162-5.

Tom de Grooth smashed 49 and Peter Borren 30 as the minnows attacked.

The Dutch needed seven off the last over and two off the final ball and sealed a stunning win thanks to an overthrow from bowler Stuart Broad.

The defeat leaves England in danger of failing to qualify from their three-team group.
