England tie up series victory with ease despite mounting concerns over Eoin Morgan's wretched form

• Netherlands vs England, second ODI live scoreboard

• Wet outfield delays start: Ned win toss, bat in reduced 41 overs per side

• 150th cap for Buttler, 100th for Roy | Carse in for Curran

• Netherlands 235/7 with stand-in skipper Edwards making 78

• Salt and Roy put on 139 for the first wicket

• Morgan falls for second duck in three days

Just for a few fleeting moments, as the ball gripped and turned under the late evening sun in Amstelveen, the Netherlands could dream of a maiden one-day international victory over England. Yet the flurry of three wickets falling for nine runs to spin against a backdrop of Abba tunes blaring out at the VRA Ground proved a mere bizarre interlude in England’s six-wicket victory to seal the series.

In the last throes of England’s chase of 236 in a match curtailed to 41 overs by rain overnight, the news dropped that Pieter Seelaar, the Netherlands captain, had retired because of the longstanding back injury that led him to miss this match. Yet it was also a mixed day for his opposing number, Eoin Morgan, whose second consecutive duck this tour - this time, top-edging a hoick off Tom Cooper’s part-time off spin - added to simmering concerns about his form.

It has now been 353 days since Morgan’s last half-century in any format of the game. While he is still likely to lead England in this year’s Twenty20 World Cup in Australia in October, the balance of probability is that - barring one of his trademark dramatic reversals of form - Morgan will not lead England for their ODI World Cup defence in India in 16 months.

Yet the impact of the transformation in England’s white-ball cricket that Morgan has overseen is such that the next generation is brimming with players who bat with the same elan and uninhibited spirit that he demands. Phil Salt’s 77 off 54 balls, following on from his century on Friday, was another illustration of England’s batting depth.

Salt shared a 139-run opening stand with Jason Roy, who marked his 100th ODI with a powerful 73 that led to him being named player of the match.

“It’s an incredible feeling - whether I got 70 or nought today would have been a special day,” said Roy, whose wife and daughter were there to see him presented with a commemorative cap by Mooen Ali, though the two had to fly back before seeing him bat. “To be involved with a team like this for a hundred games is ridiculous.”

It was the first time that Roy has spoken since receiving a two-match suspended ban and a fine by the England & Wales Cricket Board for an unnamed offence.

“Unfortunately I can’t talk anything about it but it’s not been spoken about since it came all out,” Roy said. “So I was able to enjoy my training, my family time and enjoy normal life for a couple of months.”

Roy said that he struggled mentally earlier this year, particularly in the Pakistan Super League in February, and needed a break from the game. He  has not played any County Championship games for Surrey this season but has played a full part in their T20 Blast campaign.

“Things mentally weren’t right with me at the PSL. I was in a weird place because I was playing good cricket but I wasn’t enjoying myself, I wasn’t happy and it was just a dark time. It was just a good two months to come home and live a normal life for a bit after a tough couple of years.”

In a curious sense it was fitting that Roy did not put the seal on his 100th cap with a century: the allure of personal milestones have never impacted his approach. His value to England was never greater than in the 2019 World Cup. Roy missed three games during the tournament with a hamstring injury; England lost two, and then rushed him back when they needed to win four consecutive games to win the tournament. His powerful early hitting against India next game immediately reinvigorated England’s faltering campaign, signalling that England had regained their swagger.

In the early stage of the Netherlands’s innings - stand-in captain Scott Edwards chose to bat when play finally began at 1.45pm - it seemed as if England would scarcely need Roy. When Brydon Carse, who generated notable pace and bounce, trapped Tom Cooper leg before, the Netherlands were 36 for three  in the 10th over.

But Edwards, pulling the seamers in front of square and sweeping - and reverse-sweeping - the spinners, scored 78 to haul the Netherlands up to 235 for seven.  It was Edwards’s sixth half-century in 11 ODIs this year, all against Test members, and sets him up well for his new probable role as long-term Dutch skipper. Had he not been run-out by a fine direct hit from Willey, Edwards might even have been able to make England’s later collapse altogether more costly.

England beat Netherlands by six wickets: Second ODI as it happened

06:55 PM

Eoin Morgan speaks

06:44 PM

ENG win by six wicket (Malan 36* Moeen 42*)

Snater drops short with the first delivery of the 37th over, Moeen swivels, drags a pull off the bottom edge for four to win the match by six wickets with 29 balls left.

England win the series.

06:42 PM

OVER 36: ENG 235/4 (Malan 36* Moeen 38*) chasing 236

Malan can't get the first four balls of Van Beek's canny over away ... nor the last two either. Well bowled!

England need one off 30.

06:40 PM

OVER 35: ENG 235/4 (Malan 36* Moeen 38*) chasing 236

Tim Pringle, a touch of the young Huw Turbervill's about him, comes in over the wicket to the left-handers and starts with flight, drift and turn. Moeen plays and misses on the cut, cannot beat mid-off and decides to go over the top instead, launching the ball into orbit back over the bowler's head for a Dorothy Dix.

That's another lost ball. Hope Kookaburra is charging them mates' rates. Moeen rocks on to the back foot to slap the last ball of Pringle's over for four through extra-cover.

That blow ties the scores and provokes the DJ to spin Sweet Caroline. Which is worse? Sweet Caroline or the trumpet?

06:35 PM

OVER 34: ENG 224/4 (Malan 35* Moeen 28*) chasing 236

Dutt replaces Cooper and England stroll towards the target with four singles and a two off his darts which he manages to land with some consistency.

Chris Pringle's lad will come back at the other end.

06:31 PM

OVER 33: ENG 218/4 (Malan 31* Moeen 26*) chasing 236     

Time for pace on the ball after that long spell of spin. Van Beek returns and Malan pulls off his hip for a single and works another through midwicket. A wide and two Moeen singles, both of them stroked through point, reduce the target to 18 off 48.

In sad news after hurting himself in Friday when batting:

06:27 PM

OVER 32: ENG 213/4 (Malan 29* Moeen 24*) chasing 236     

Moeen has made his assessment, got his eye in and climbs into Tom Cooper who started the over with one for 13 off three and ends it, via three fours, with one for 25. He uses his feet twice to drive over mid-on and drill one through there, adjusting having almost yorked himself when Cooper darted it in. The last of the three is the golden child, the perfect example of Moeen's handsome bat-swing arc and sweet timing, smearing it over extra.

06:22 PM

OVER 31: ENG 200/4 (Malan 29* Moeen 12*) chasing 236   

Time for some part-time off-breaks/filth from Nidamanuru  who starts well but then drags the fourth ball down, Malan swivels and carts it high for six, 10 rows back at cow corner.

06:20 PM

OVER 30: ENG 192/4 (Malan 22* Moeen 11*) chasing 236   

This has been a very good execution of a containment strategy by the Oranje spinners. The most effective way of drying up the rate is taking wickets and they've done that by weight of dot balls scrambling minds. And Cooper reels off five more in this over.

06:17 PM

OVER 29: ENG 191/4 (Malan 22* Moeen 10*) chasing 236   

Malan takes a single when the bowler, Dutt misfields, Moeen is kept honest by the spinner changing pace and line, playing out three dot balls before slotting a drive down to the cover sweeper for a single.

06:16 PM

OVER 28: ENG 189/4 (Malan 21* Moeen 9*) chasing 236 

Scott Edwards finds the Barmy Army trumpet as tiresome as anyone with a pair of ears who isn't 10 pints in. When Tom Cooper asks him for a field change, the keeper shouts back, 'Sorry, mate. Can't hear you, f------ trumpet.'

Moeen drives two through cover, thick edges a drive through point for two more and then uses the turn to pat a drive out to the cover boundary rider. Malan uses the drive to earn a couple more. It's a change of tempo for England's boundary bothering batsmen but an effective one after losing three quick wickets.

06:10 PM

OVER 27: ENG 181/4 (Malan 19* Moeen 3*) chasing 236 

The spinners are shackling England's left-handers and Dutt, after conceding three singles, ties Malan up in all sorts of bother with another fast and flat one that pitches on two legs and pins him in front of middle.

06:08 PM

Not out

It did look high but because Malan's feet were on the ground I thought it would have been umpire's call. He got away with a similar one on Friday when the predicted bounce looked a little generous to the batsman.

06:06 PM

ENG review

Malan lbw b Dutt

06:05 PM

OVER 26: ENG 178/4 (Malan 18* Moeen 1*) chasing 236 

Moeen has a good look at Young Master Pringle for three balls and then taps a single into the covers for a single.

05:59 PM

Wicket!!

Livingstone b Pringle 4  Ah, that's lovely. Well bowled young man. It takes some nerve to take on Livingstone only armed with guile. He lowered his arm to sling it into the pitch whence it gripped, ripped and knocked back off stump.  FOW 177/4

05:59 PM

OVER 25: ENG 177/3 (Malan 17* Livingstone 2*) chasing 236

Three singles and two leg-byes are gleaned from Dutt's sixth over. Malan continues to infuriate commentators with his lack of urgency.

05:57 PM

OVER 24: ENG 172/2 (Malan 17* Livingstone 2*) chasing 236

As Mark Butcher says, an in-form Morgan would have reverse-swept that. When you're out of nick, your decision making process is also skewed. You get no sense that his team-mates are questioning his right to play, just as there wasn't when Nasser Hussain endured that torrid 14-month run from Cape Town to Kandy in 2000-01. But that won't stop him questioning himself.

Livingstone whips a couple of singles into the onside, all hands, no feet.

05:50 PM

Wicket!!

Morgan c Snater b Cooper 0  Well, there's out of form and then there's looking like you'll never make another run. After six dot balls he goes for the slog sweep off the offspinner and top edges it to point. He needs some Baz rehab therapy.  FOW 169/3 

05:50 PM

OVER 23: ENG 168/2 (Malan 15* Morgan 0*) chasing 236

Morgan wants a hit and comes out ahead of Buttler and Livingstone but he cannot get the last five balls of Dutt's over off the square. He looks terribly out of sorts and has done for some time.

05:44 PM

Wicket!!

Salt b Dutt 77  Canny bowling. He saw Salt bound down and speared it in flat and fast. It turned, too. Salt couldn't adjust in time.  FOW 168/2

05:44 PM

OVER 22: ENG 168/1 (Salt 77* Malan 15*) chasing 236     

Malan is in Niall O'Brien's doghouse again for sauntering a single when Salt wanted two. Perhaps he just wanted the stroke after watching Salt sweep hard and flat for four before clipping two off his toes followed by that single. Eoin Morgan has criticised Malan's running before and desire for a red-inker and landmarks, perhaps it's just a common Irish complaint.

05:41 PM

OVER 21: ENG 159/1 (Salt 70* Malan 14*) chasing 236     

Good evening. England start the over needing 83 off 21 overs. Aryan Dutt, who has taken quite a bit of tap, comes round the wicket. Tall man with a bustling, busy, bouncy run-up. But the trouble with tallish spinners who try to bowl briskly is always finding a consistent length. Malan pats a couple back, waits for the short one and carts it over midwicket for two. They both love back-foot shots and slap a single apiece through the covers either side of Salt's sweep for two. Having underestimated Salt as a franchise slogger before his international debut last year, he has made a very good impression on this observer. There are some agricultural shots, but plenty of elegant, sadistic strokeplay as well. It's all about the wrists ... and nerve.

05:32 PM

OVER 20: ENG 153/1 (Salt 67* Malan 11*) chasing 236   

Young Tim Pringle, the student prince, is in for another over. Looks to have a bit of a variety, nice high action as I mentioned before. But this is a poor delivery, wide half volley, and Malan isn't missing out on that. Four. Still, a quiet enough - and that takes us up to drinks. And good news, readers, the splendid Mr Rob Bagchi is here to take it home. Cheers

05:29 PM

OVER 19: ENG 148/1 (Salt 67* Malan 6*) chasing 236   

Dutt to bowl. Can he keep Malan quiet for a bit? Create a bit of pressure? Malan squirts a single away. Salt sweeps, it falls safe and they run one. Three dots in the first five balls, so this is going well. Last ball of the over is too short but at least they keep it to three as Malan chops with no risk into the offside.

05:25 PM

OVER 18: ENG 143/1 (Salt 66* Malan 2*) chasing 236 

Tim Pringle to bowl. Malan to bat. Quieter over. Single, dot, single, single, single. Last ball of the over, Salt nearly drags a ball on.

England need 93 from 138 balls.

05:21 PM

OVER 17: ENG 139/1 (Salt 64*) chasing 236 

That brings Dawid Malan in.

05:20 PM

WICKET! Roy c Snater b Dutt 73

There are enough runs to get that each of these guys can bag a hundred, but neither man can let his partner get too far away. Phil Salt is catching up fast with Roy. He has hit the first three balls of this Dutt over for four, Singh with a misfield on the first one mind you. A single hands it back to Roy and he lofts the ball over mid off for four.

But just as all hope is lost, a bit of a boost for the home side when Roy goes for another big shot through the line down the ground. He slices it to backward points and that's the end of that. FOW 139/1

05:14 PM

OVER 16: ENG 122/0 (Roy 69* Salt 51*) chasing 236

Now it is Phil Salt's turn to take centre stage. He has hit 2,4,2,4 in this over. The pitch is true, England are so confident, the bowling is so friendly. Feels like he can pick any spot he wants. Cracks off the front foot, rocks back and dinks through the slips region. 14 off the over.

05:09 PM

OVER 15: ENG 108/0 (Roy 69* Salt 38*) chasing 236

Aryan Dutt is coming on for a bowl. Brian Murgatroyd on the commentary says: "Some of the biggest feet in world cricket here - Dutt is a size 15." Blimey. You know what they say about big feet: that's right, smashed into the midwicket stands for an enormous six by Jason Roy. Somewhat surprisingly, that is the first six of the England innings.

05:04 PM

OVER 14: ENG 95/0 (Roy 57* Salt 37*)  chasing 236

de Leede is back on. Short ball seems to surprise Roy.  He helps it on its way to fine leg. The crowd are having fun taunting a security guard about a beach ball.

04:59 PM

OVER 13: ENG 89/0 (Roy 52* Salt 36*)         

Just five off the Snater over. He'll take that.

04:57 PM

OVER 12: ENG 84/0 (Roy 50* Salt 33*)         

Roy, unhappy to miss out on the fun in the last match, has got himself a half century. An enjoyable run out for the England team, and the crowd look like they are having a  super time. Not too sure how this ranks as a sporting contest. Still, that's not England's fault. They can only batter what's put in front of them.

04:55 PM

OVER 11: ENG 76/0 (Roy 49* Salt 22*)       

England continuing to make merry hell.

04:47 PM

OVER 10: ENG 66/0 (Roy 44* Salt 22*)       

Roy and Salt each bash a boundary off Pringle. Boundary rope heroics from Cooper deny Salt another four.

04:46 PM

OVER 9: ENG 54/0 (Roy 37* Salt 17*)     

Snater's over goes for seven.

04:43 PM

OVER 8: ENG 47/0 (Roy 33* Salt 14*)     

Salt crunches Pringle away for a four first ball but fair play to the Dutch bowler, he pulls the rest of the over back well.

04:36 PM

OVER 7: ENG 42/0 (Roy 33* Salt 9*)   

Nice nip-backer from van Beek nearly does for Roy, but it flies over the top.  Salt's taking his time, nine off 15.

04:32 PM

OVER 6: ENG 39/0 (Roy 32* Salt 7*)   

Tim Pringle comes on for a bowler. Does well. Tall kid with owl glasses, looks likes a student. High action for his left arm tweak.

04:29 PM

OVER 5: ENG 34/0 (Roy 30* Salt 4*) 

Van Beek is keeping Salt quiet. Four dot balls to start this over. Just a single off it in the end.

04:25 PM

OVER 4: ENG 33/0 (Roy 30* Salt 3*) 

Kingma to Roy. He's had a little word with the England player. Roy helps himself to two legside boundaries.

04:24 PM

OVER 3: ENG 25/0 (Roy 22* Salt 3*)

This is a better over from van Beek. Shorter, tighter lines. Salt cannot make hay.

04:15 PM

OVER 2: ENG 21/0 (Roy 21* Salt 0*)

I reckon England would like to roll this Dutch cricket team up and take them away. Proper "can we play you every week?" vibes. Roy just battering the ball hither and yon. Kingma the lucky bowler.

In the slot, drilled back down the ground for four. Now pulled away hard and true for the same result. Still, three dots after that.

04:10 PM

OVER 1: ENG 13/0 (Roy 13* Salt 0*)

Too floaty from Van Beek. Roy is coming at him, charging down the pitch and freeing the hands to drive through the off. Three fours in the over. Van Beek onto the pads last ball, Roy takes a single and there are 13 off the over.

04:08 PM

Van Beek will bowl

Jason Roy is on strike.

04:07 PM

The players are coming out for the second innings

There's a lady with an umbrella up there.

Mr Rob Bagchi will be taking over the blog from 5.30pm UK time. Wonder how many runs he'll have left to get?

03:41 PM

England need 236 to win

On a small ground, nice batting deck, you have to seriously fancy them. They were 66/1 on on Betfair a few minutes ago. 50/1 on now, I think.

03:37 PM

OVER 41: NED 235/7 (van Beek 30* Snater 17*)       

Dutch guys throwing the bat, Willey mixing it up with his cutters. Two, dot, one, two, one... can van Beek finish with a flourish? He can! In the slot from Willey, and he has panelled that down the ground for six! Huzzah.

03:32 PM

OVER 40: NED 223/7 (van Beek 22* Snater 14*)     

Carse to bowl the last-but-one over. No boundary.

03:28 PM

OVER 39: NED 217/7 (van Beek 18* Snater 13*)     

At last, van Beek has connected with a big shot. Slogs Rashid into a bush at long on. They manage to find the ball. 13 runs off the over.

That was the most productive over of the innings (good) but only the fifth double-figure over (bad).

03:24 PM

OVER 38: NED 204/7 (van Beek 8* Snater 10*)   

Snater gives Topley the charge and slaps a ball away for six. Got hold of that one, did Jason's cousin.

03:23 PM

OVER 37: NED 192/7 (van Beek 5* Snater 0*)   

Shane Snater comes in.  Van Beek continues to grind his way to a 21-ball 5.

03:21 PM

WICKET! Pringle b Rashid 0

Oh dear, a batting debut to forget for Tim Pringle as fails to pick Rashid's googly. He has a huge slog, misses completely, and is bowled through the gate. FOW 192/7

03:20 PM

OVER 36: NED 190/6 (van Beek 4* Pringle 0*) 

Netherlands really struggling to get Topley away. Tim Pringle, the debutant, comes in.

03:14 PM

OVER 35: NED 189/6 (van Beek 3*) 

That was the last ball of the over.

03:12 PM

WICKET! Edwards run out 78

Ah bad luck skipper. This has been an excellent knock and kept his side in the game. Willey gets on the ball in the outfield and throws, scoring with a direct hit. They took two to midwicket but it was only maybe 35 yards from the stumps that Willey fielded. Great throw. Willey does not look confident, but they have a look on the TV umpire... Edwards is an inch or two short and he has to go! Brilliant throw from David Willey. FOW 189/6

03:08 PM

OVER 34: NED 184/5 (Edwards 75* van Beek 1*)

Willey. Nice reverse sweep six. Lovely shot Edwards.

Logan van Beek has taken nine balls for that one so far....

03:06 PM

OVER 33: NED 173/5 (Edwards 65* van Beek 1*)

Rashid back on. van Beek looks like he's having a hard time picking Rashers. Sweeps and misses. Would have been plumb but it just flicked his glove before hitting the pad.

DJ Is firing the crowd up with Gala's Freed From Desire.

02:59 PM

OVER 32: NED 170/5 (Edwards 63* van Beek 0*

Willey with a one-run wicket over. Noice.

02:58 PM

WICKET! Nidamanuru b Willey 28

On the stumps and full from Willey, Nidamanuru with a big swing of the bat, looking to hit it down the part. Just nibbles a tiny bit and he is bowled neck and crop. Stumps all over the shop. FOW 170/5

02:56 PM

OVER 31: NED 168/4 (Edwards 62* Nidamanuru 28*)               

Eight-run over from Carse. Edwards gets a boundary off the first ball but then looks to accumulate rather than dominate.

02:51 PM

OVER 30: NED 161/4 (Edwards 56* Nidamanuru 27*)               

Willey back into the attack. Ten runs off the over. Netherlands runs on an inside edge, Buttler gets to it and shies at the stumps. No dice. England's fielding and throwing has been moderate.

02:44 PM

OVER 29: NED 151/4 (Edwards 55* Nidamanuru 22*)             

Well batted skip! Edwards slots one down the ground from Carse and that's six runs, as well as a half century. 55 off 56 balls he has scored so far and that's a fair offer from the captain.

02:39 PM

OVER 28: NED 142/4 (Edwards 48* Nidamanuru 20*)             

Topley, though, is parsimonious once again. I see no reason to think that Ned are getting anywhere near a defensible total.

02:38 PM

OVER 27: NED 139/4 (Edwards 47* Nidamanuru 18*)           

That's the ticket! Edwards gets one in the slot from Livingstone and he's put that away for a six.

02:33 PM

OVER 26: NED 129/4 (Edwards 39* Nidamanuru 16*)           

Topley coming back on for a bowl. Excellent return to the fray for him. Accurate stuff. Three off the over.

02:29 PM

OVER 25: NED 126/4 (Edwards 36* Nidamanuru 16*)         

Four off the Livingstone over, including a superlative piece of fielding off his own bowling.

02:27 PM

OVER 24: NED 122/4 (Edwards 34* Nidamanuru 15*)         

Better over for the hosts. Edwards cracks the first ball of it away for four, and now Nidamanuru  joins in the fun with a towering six. Moeen's four overs have gone for 30.

02:25 PM

OVER 23: NED 110/4 (Edwards 29* Nidamanuru 8*)       

Nidamanuru pings a lovely shot through the legside, got all of that one from Livi.

02:22 PM

OVER 22: NED 102/4 (Edwards 28* Nidamanuru 1*)       

Edwards pings Mooen with a smartly struck sweep for four

02:19 PM

OVER 21: NED 97/4 (Edwards 24*Nidamanuru 0*)     

Teja Nidamanuru is the new man in. The batsmen had crossed during that Willey catch so it's Edwards on strike.

02:16 PM

WICKET!  de Leede c Willey b Livingstone 34

England have kept their mid on up, inviting de Leede to have a go. He has indeed had said go, but he has failed to get that over Willey. FOW 97/4

02:11 PM

OVER 20: NED 93/3 (de Leede 32* Edwards 22*)     

De Leede uses the feet and whacks Mooen away for four. A few singles make that a handy nine-run over.

As it concludes, we will have drinks. Some of the England fans in the ground look like they're getting properly stuck into the pints.

Decent recovery this, from Netherlands. They've put on 57 in 10.4 overs. Niall O'Brien on Sky comms keeps on about "how Holland need 230, 240". Cannot see England having any trouble at all scoring that in 41 overs. Indeed in 21 overs if they needed to I'd fancy them.

02:09 PM

OVER 19: NED 84/3 (de Leede 24* Edwards 21*)   

Morgan shuffles his pack again, Livingstone on for a bowl. You feel that one of these twirlymen needs to get got if the Holland boys are going to post any sort of total. It ain't Liam in this three-run over.

02:08 PM

OVER 18: NED 81/3 (de Leede 23* Edwards 19*)   

Time for the great man Moeen Ali to turn his arm over. Four runs come off it. Netherlands accumulating solidly enough but you cannot help but feel England will better whatever they put up barring something exceptional from the Holland bowlers.

02:06 PM

OVER 17: NED 77/3 (de Leede 21* Edwards 17*) 

Seven off the over as Edwards slots Rashid through midwicket for a boundary.

01:58 PM

OVER 16: NED 70/3 (de Leede 20* Edwards 12*) 

Carse really keeping these guys honest.

01:53 PM

OVER 15: NED 68/3 (de Leede 19* Edwards 11*)

Here's fun! Rashid tosses it up, de Leede has had a crack at it and smacked it for six over cow corner. It crashes into a window in the commentary box, prompting Mark Butcher to joke: "Well that's certainly woken me up!"

01:51 PM

OVER 14: NED 61/3 (de Leede 13* Edwards 10*)

Carse continues. Bowling well. He's angled the ball in from over the wicket to trap de Lede in front. Looks a good shout, and it's a full delivery. Buttler suggests to Morgan that they review. England do, but that's going down leg and they have lost their second and final review.

01:41 PM

OVER 13: NED 54/3 (de Leede 13* Edwards 6*)

Review! England like this for a caught behind. It's the one that goes straight on from Rashers and Edwards flicks at it as it slides across his body and behind his pads. Given not out. England review. There is  a wee sound as it goes past the pad, rather than the bat. England are losing that review but probably a reasonable one to go for because it was an each-way bet: they also checked the leg before, but it was sliding down.

01:38 PM

OVER 12: NED 50/3 (de Leede 12* Edwards 3*)         

Carse with a tremendous bouncer, 86mph and it climbs horrifically from not all that short a length. Edwards manages to get his head out of the way just in time. Proper smell-the-leather stuff.

01:35 PM

OVER 11: NED 45/3 (de Leede 8* Edwards 2*)       

Rashers with a nice little leg-break that turns just enough. Edwards plays down the wrong line, head falling over the ball and missing it. Crashes into the pads and this looks a good shout to me. Given out. Edwards reviews. And rightly so, that was doing just enough to turn past off stump. Just.

Later in the over, de Leede crunches a ball through the covers for.  Last ball of the over, de Leede hits it into the covers again, and runs for the shot. Roy gathers, throws in, and Buttler has surprisingly failed to break the wicket. Edwards would have been out by a yard. Oh Jos!

01:31 PM

OVER 10: NED 39/3 (de Leede 3* Edwards 1*)       

If Scott Edwards is a Dutchman, then I'm a Dutchman, but nevertheless here comes the Holland skipper for the day.

01:29 PM

WICKET! Cooper lbw Carse 17

Brydon Carse has come on for a bowl, and before you know it, he has trapped Cooper in front with one that seams back in. Cooper doesn't review. It looked on the high side but would have hit the top of leg on umpire's call so the right decision I guess from the Dutch bat. Anyway, nice bit of bowling. FOW 36/3

01:25 PM

OVER 9: NED 36/2 (Cooper 17* de Leede 1*)     

Bas de Leede comes in. Holland are not really going anywhere yet as the powerplay comes to an end.

01:22 PM

WICKET! O'Dowd c Malan b Rashid 7

Change of approach from England, giving a bowl to the spinner Rashid. O'Dowd, who likes a sweep, tries that shot but flips it to Malan on the edge of the ring. Smart catch. FOW 34/2

01:20 PM

OVER 8: NED 33/1 (O'Dowd 7* Cooper 15*)     

Cooper scoring at a reasonable clip.  Gets Topley away for a boundary.

01:15 PM

OVER 7: NED 26/1 (O'Dowd 7* Cooper 8*)   

Bit more action in this over for the Dutch. Cooper pokes into the offside, runs two, and in so doing reached 1000 ODI runs for Netherlands. The fifth man to do so. Well done lad. Celebrates with a crunch through point a few balls later, getting himself four in the process.

01:11 PM

OVER 6: NED 17/1 (O'Dowd 6* Cooper 0*)   

Reece Topley with a maiden, the first of the series apparently.

01:10 PM

OVER 5: NED 17/1 (O'Dowd 6* Cooper 0*) 

A run and a wicket off this Willey over. Nearly even better yet, when new man Tom Cooper is beaten first ball.

01:04 PM

WICKET! Vikramjit Singh c Carse b Willey 10

But that's as good as it's going to get for VS. Willey bouncer, Singh has misjudged it and flapped the pull shot to square leg. Easy catch. Bit of a nothing shot, he didn't really try and smash it, just a sower of powderpuff flick. FOW 17/1

01:02 PM

OVER 4: NED 16/0 (Vikramjit Singh 10* O'Dowd 5*) 

Topley to Vikramjit Singh, too wide, and that's the first boundary of the day as Singh cracks that awa through point.

12:59 PM

OVER 3: NED 9/0 (Vikramjit Singh 4* O'Dowd 4*)

V Singh edges the ball and it lands a wee bit short of Moeen at slip. Well fielded in the end. Sharp bit of fielding also here from Malan at point, quite close to the bat.

Singh 14 balls for his four so far...

12:54 PM

OVER 2: NED 7/0 (Vikramjit Singh 2* O'Dowd 4*)

Reece Topley from the other end, into quite a stiff breeze. A couple of singles off the over.

12:50 PM

OVER 1: NED 5/0 (Vikramjit Singh 1* O'Dowd 3*)

Good tight start from Willey, nothing for Vikramjit Singh to engage with. Single. Nice shot from O'Dowd to force the ball through off. Willey bowling with the breeze. He was bowling from the other end the other day.

12:48 PM

Here's Moeen giving Jason Roy

his cap earlier for 100th ODI.

12:46 PM

Here come the players

David Willey will bowl the first over.

12:42 PM

Dominic Cork

"The pitch is exactly the same as the one the other day. Another excellent wicket."

12:41 PM

Eoin Morgan

"Our message is always about intensity. That is how we keep ourselves accountable. Obviously we make mistakes but it is about intensity not about figures or numbers."

12:37 PM

Playing conditions then

41 overs each. Powerplay overs 1-8. Four bowlers can bowl 8 and one guy 9.

12:36 PM

Talking of Tim Pringle

He is no relation to Mr Derek once of this parish, but is the son of 1990s Kiwi all-rounder Chris. Good luck to him on dayboo.

12:35 PM

Dutch team news

Three changes for the hosts as  Teja Nidamanuru, Vivian Kingma and Tim Pringle come in for Pieter Seelar, Musa Ahmed and Philippe Boissevain.

Seelar, the skipper, misses out with a back injury and Scott Edwards thus leads the side in his absence.

Pringle is making his debut.

12:33 PM

The Teams

Netherlands: Vikramjit Singh, Max O'Dowd, Teja Nidamanurut, Tom Cooper, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards (capt, wk), Logan van Beek, Tim Pringle, Shane Snater, Aryan Dutt, Vivian Kingma

England: Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Dawid Malan, Eoin Morgan (capt), Jos Buttler (wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Brydon Carse, David Willey Adil Rashid, Reece Topley

12:18 PM

Netherlands have won the toss

and they are going to have a bat.

12:17 PM

England team

Carse comes in and Curran comes out.

12:15 PM

It will be the traditional 41-over format

Nine overs per side lost to the wet outfield/insufficiently well secured covers. Silly Dutchers.

12:06 PM

The umpires have passed it fit to play

The toss will be at quarter past, and we will begin play at 1245 UK time.

11:34 AM

Mark Butcher tells Sky Sports

"The covers blew off overnight in heavy rain and that has soaked into the follow-throughs. At the moment there is not a great deal of activity. Bitter disappointment for Cricket Netherlands and for the fans."

"Cloudy, dark and grey here at the moment and the mood of the fans has not been improved by the news that we are having a further inspection at 1pm."

11:29 AM

The result of the inspection

Is that we will have another inspection. At 1pm local time, which is to say 12 noon UK time.

11:18 AM

Paul Reiffel and Nitin Bathi

are out having a butcher's.

11:13 AM

News of that inspection

will be with us shortly. We will not be losing some overs from the game, I imagine, so I don't think England's bid to get 500 runs is going to happen today.

10:47 AM

There will be another inspection

at 12.15pm local time, which is 11.15am UK time. IE in about a half an hour.

10:07 AM

Phil Salt is having a chat on Sky

"I want to play as many games as I can, whether as a batter or by keeping as well. I have to take every opportunity with both hands. We are world champions, you have to do something special to knock out a man in possession in this side."

10:00 AM

Update

09:57 AM

Some of the covers

are coming off.

09:55 AM

There will be an inspection at 11.30

Go and get yourself a coffee, or other beverage, and we'll get back to it in a few minutes.

09:53 AM

Second ODI coming up soon

But not yet: the match is delayed by a wet outfield. It's a lot cooler than the other day there, a lot of cloud overhead. The covers are on.

09:22 AM

Good morning and welcome

To our coverage of the second ODI between England and the Netherlands, which gets under way at 10am.

The Matthew Mott era started with a bang - with England shattering the previous world ODI record in the first match and falling just two runs short of an almost unfathomable 500.

If you are a Dutch player you'd imagine there will be a fair amount of trepidation at having to play the same opposition just a couple of days after a 232-run savaging.

From an England point of view, the pyrotechnics of Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone came as no surprise, while Dawid Malan proved his class with a well-constructed century.

But the platform for the world-record total was set by Phil Salt's maiden ODI ton - and the new man at the top of the order believes Mott will empower his players to keep on playing no-fear cricket.

"He certainly likes the way that I play," Salt said of the Australian coach. "I don't think anything is too dissimilar from the brand of cricket that we're going to play.

"It's pretty self-explanatory what you need to do if you want to play for England. If you want to play for Morgs, you have to play a certain type of way and he's very clear with that.

"It's as simple as knowing that when I get the opportunity, I've got to perform and I've got to do well. That's how it's going to work if you want to have a long England career."

Salt accepts one innings will not be enough to dislodge the Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow axis when both are available, an opening partnership that averages 57.67 with a staggering 13 100-plus stands in 49 innings and was instrumental to England's World Cup triumph.

But while he will retain his place in today's second match and Wednesday's finale, both in Amstelveen, Salt is content to bat anywhere in the top order if it means he retains his spot.

He said: "Every time you put on an England shirt is an honour, I want to keep doing that. If I can keep doing stuff like that and keep putting my name in the hat, hopefully I will give the selectors a headache.

"You can't bat everywhere, can you? I'd love to get as many games as possible for England. For me, it doesn't matter where. I'll always do the best I can to perform, put my hand up and win games for the side."
