England defeated the Netherlands by six wickets to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, as both openers scored over 70 but Eoin Morgan registered a duck
Jason Roy toasted his 100th one-day international with 73 off 60 balls as England repelled a fightback from the Netherlands to move into an unassailable 2-0 series lead. Roy was one of the few England batters to miss out in their48 hours earlier but, in a contest reduced to 41 overs per side, he hit top form to hasten their pursuit of 236.
David Willey and Adil Rashid each collected two wickets while Brydon Carse showcased his impressive pace in his one for 36 after the Netherlands captain Scott Edwards, standing in for the injured Pieter Seelaar, had opted to bat, perhaps influenced by England’s sensational innings on Friday. Roy was dismissed for just one then but rose to the occasion here.
Morgan’s lean trot continued when a hack was caught at backward point and Liam Livingstone came and went as Pringle claimed his maiden international scalp, with England losing three wickets in 19 deliveries.Photograph: Piroschka van de Wouw/Reuters
