5 talking points as Jason Roy and Phil Salt star but Eoin Morgan doubts remain

England beat the Netherlands by six wickets in the second ODI at Amstelveen, thanks to twin 70s from openers Jason Roy and Phil Salt.

After deciding to bat first, the hosts made a respectable 235-7 in their innings, with captain Scott Edwards leading an impressive recovery. The Netherlands fell to 39-3 in the first ten overs, before Edwards backed up his 72 in the first match with an excellent 78.

He shared crucial partnerships with Bas de Leede and Teja Nidamanuru, before getting run out by a magnificent direct hit from David Willey. The left-armer was the pick of the seamers for England as he took 2-46, while leg-spinner Adil Rashid was typically effective as he picked up 2-50.

In response, Roy and Salt got England off to a brilliant start and it looked as though the visitors would romp to another dominant victory. Roy made 73 after missing out in the first match, while Salt backed up his ton on Friday with an excellent 77.

However, England did suffer a scare when captain Eoin Morgan fell for his second duck of the series and the dangerous Liam Livingstone was bowled for just four. It was the slow bowlers who made the impact for the Dutch, with 19-year-old Aryan Dutt taking 2-55, part-timer Tom Cooper removing captain Eoin Morgan and debutant Tim Pringle producing a beauty to dismiss Livingstone.

Despite the fightback, England ultimately reached their target with 29 balls remaining as Dawid Malan and Moeen Ali guided them to a six-wicket win.
