England vs Netherlands, Highlights: Roy, Buttler steer England to win, series sweep over Dutch

The
first
ODI
matches
between
the
two
countries
outside
a
Cricket
World
Cup
have
followed
an
expected
course,
with
England
winning
by
232
runs,
six
wickets
and
now
eight
wickets
over
the
past
six
days
in
Amstelveen.

The
Netherlands’ total
of
244,
which
included
64
off
72
balls
from
captain
Scott
Edwards,
never
looked
enough
against
world-champion
opposition
and
on
what
has
been
a
run-scoring
paradise
outside
Amsterdam
given
the
fast
outfield
and
short
boundaries.

The
only
blip
in
England’s
reply
saw
Phil
Salt
(49)
and
Dawid
Malan
get
dismissed
in
the
space
of
three
balls,
but
Roy
and
Buttler
got
the
innings
back
on
track
with
an
unbroken
partnership
of
163
runs
off
125
balls.

Buttler
got
England
to
its
target
with
a
nonchalant
flick
down
the
ground
for
six
as
England
finished
on
248-2
off
30.1
overs.
Buttler,
standing
in
as
captain
for
the
injured
Eoin
Morgan,
hit
seven
fours
and
five
sixes.
Max
O’Dowd
(50)
and
Bas
de
Leede
(56)
also
weighed
in
with
half-centuries
for
Dutch
at
Amstelveen,
where
England
smashed
a
world-record
498-4
last
week
in
winning
the
first
ODI.

David
Willey
took
4-36
off
8.2
overs,
including
the
final
wicket
of
Paul
van
Meekeren
(2),
as
the
Dutch
were
dismissed
with
four
balls
remaining
of
their
allotted
50
overs.
