England shatter ODI record in six-hitting blitz to rout Netherlands

• Netherlands v England, first ODI full scoreboard

• England make three centuries in ODI for first time

• Salt, Malan and Buttler reach three figures

• Livingstone smites 66 off 22

• England set new world-record score of 498

England rampaged to a world record 498 for four following Jos Buttler's breathtaking knock as the Netherlands were blown away in the first one-day international.

Not only was the previous ODI best of 481 for six England amassed against Australia four years ago eclipsed but this betters the 496 for four Surrey registered against Gloucestershire which had stood as the List A benchmark since April 2007.

Buttler missed out on breaking his own record for the fastest century by an England batsman by just one ball, reaching three figures from 47 deliveries, before finishing unbeaten on 162 off 70 as Matthew Mott's reign as limited-overs head coach started with a one-sided 232-run win in Amstelveen.

While Buttler took centre stage with 14 of England's 26 sixes - another record - he was given an ideal platform by Phil Salt's maiden international ton and Dawid Malan's first hundred in ODIs in a 222-run union which helped England recover from the early loss of Jason Roy, bowled by his cousin Shane Snater.

Eoin Morgan was out for a golden duck but no impetus was lost courtesy of Buttler and Liam Livingstone, who clubbed the fastest ODI fifty by an Englishman off 17 balls in a cameo 66 not out in 22 deliveries.

The Netherlands' response represented something of an anti-climax even if those in attendance revelled in what they had witnessed for the next few hours.

Max O'Dowd bristled in a run-a-ball 55, with one of his two sixes shattering a press room window, before he had his off-stump knocked back by Reece Topley, part of England's all left-arm seam attack.

Moeen Ali took three for 57 while Scott Edwards' defiant 72 not out averted the possibility of the heaviest defeat in ODI history. Nevertheless this was still a chastening day for the Netherlands and they have plenty to ponder ahead of the second and penultimate match at the same venue on Sunday.

England smash world record in crushing win over Netherlands - as it happened

06:03 PM

England win by 232 runs

Netherlands did not disgrace themselves with the bat but England were simply too good in their first ODI match for almost a year: three centuries, a late monstering  of the attack by Livingstone to take England to a world-record score and record number of sixes (26). Although the Oranje never stood a chance,  the bowlers made sure, Willey taking two for 42, Topley two for 46, Curran the same, Moeen three for 57 and Malan one for five to add to his century.

We will have a match report imminently and you can read all about the records shattered here as Tim Wigmore and Scyld Berry report.

05:58 PM

Wicket!!!               

Edwards c Buttlet b Malan 72 Steps back to cut and feathers an edge through to the keeper. FOW 266/10

England win by 232 runs. 

05:55 PM

OVER 49: NED 261/9 (Edwards 67 Boissevain 5)                     

Edwards uppercuts Curran for four, pulls for two and then bunts four down the ground. The pull earns him two more followed by a single. That's Curran done too with two for 46 off his nine.

Malan will bowl the final over, a first over in ODI cricket.

05:52 PM

OVER 48: NED 248/9 (Edwards 54 Boissevain 5)                   

Edwards brings up his sixth ODI 50 with a flick for two off his pads. He shapes to scoop the next ball, misses it and the ball thuds into his knee outside the line. He hobbles a leg bye. Boissevain gets off the mark via the edge when trying to scoop and Edwards jams his bat down to dig out the yorker to cover and they run a single.

Topley goes for the yorker from round the wicket again, almost nails it but Boissevain chisels it out and it shoots down to fine third man for four.

Topley finishes with 10-0-46-2.

05:46 PM

OVER 47: NED 238/9 (Edwards 49 Boissevain 0)                   

Edwards takes a single off the first ball. Is a red inker more important than a half century. Boissevain is up to the task, defending or ducking even when Curran comes round the wicket. He could have got off the mark from the final ball with a crisp leg glance but Edwards sends him back.

05:44 PM

OVER 46: NED 237/9 (Edwards 48 Boissevain 0)                 

Edwards and Dutt play tip and run for two singles and leg bye before Dutt tries something more expansive and loses middle pole.

Enter Philippe Boissevain who has had a chastening match in the field.

05:41 PM

Wicket!!               

Dutt b Topley 0  Tried to work a fast, full ball on middle stump through midwicket, payed all around it and heard the death rattle. FOW 236/9

05:38 PM

OVER 45: NED 233/8 (Edwards 46 Dutt 0)                 

Topley has two overs left, Curran four but he can't bowl out as the configuration means they need three from each end. But he may not have to after yorking Snater. Edwards began the over with a withering pull for four and ends it at the non-strikers' watching Aryan Dutt survive the last three balls.

05:34 PM

Wicket!!!       

Snater b Curran 4  Yorks him with one that shapes in. FOW 233/8

05:32 PM

OVER 44: NED 228/7 (Edwards 42 Snater 4)               

Willey will bowl out. With Livingstone off the field and Curran needing to be wrapped in cotton wool, should Netherlands, as seems likely, bat the full 50 overs, they will have to find a couple of overs from Malan or Roy at the end. Hang on, Willey dismisses the captain. In comes Snater who comes down the pitch and flogs an on drive for four first ball.

05:29 PM

Wicket!!   

Seelaar b Willey 25  Willey's round the wicket angle foxes the captain who has a big wipe across the line and hears leg stump being knocked back.  FOW 224/7

05:27 PM

OVER 43: NED 223/6 (Edwards 41 Seelaar 25)               

Edwards, the chimney sweep, shows us he has more than a broom in his toolkit by charging Rashid and launching an in-drive into the stands for six. Rashid ends with 10-0-59-0 and given his pedigree Netherands can chalk that up as a win.

05:25 PM

OVER 42: NED 212/6 (Edwards 31 Seelaar 24)             

Two singles off Willey's ninth over. Nothing more to add.

05:20 PM

OVER 41: NED 210/6 (Edwards 30 Seelaar 23)             

Seelaar sweeps Rashid for two so he legspinner slows his pace all the way down to 44 mph and beats him all ends up. When he pushes forward to the next ball, a leg break, it clips the Dutch captain on the pad. Moeen runs round from slip to 'catch' it but there was no bat.

Edwards sweeps for a pair of deuces to close out the over, the second of which takes them past the record margin of defeat, 290 runs.

05:17 PM

OVER 40: NED 203/6 (Edwards 26 Seelaar 20)           

Willey comes back for Topley after Moeen finishes with 10-0-53-3.

Seelaar raises the 200 with a Rooty dab down to third man and, back pain not withstanding, drives a single to cover and gallops down the other end. Edwards drives at the final ball which squirts of the the inside corner of the toe down to fine leg for two.

05:14 PM

OVER 39: NED 198/6 (Edwards 24 Seelaar 17)           

Edwards steps across and sweeps Moeen's arm-ball for four behind square. Nice stroke. Seelaar had begun the over with a wipe across the line to take two to the midwicket boundary rider and a quick single that leaves him looking lumbago-stricken. Edwards ends the over with a reverse sweep for four more.

This is worth your time:

05:09 PM

OVER 38: NED 185/6 (Edwards 12 Seelaar 9)         

Topley continues for an eighth over. Seelaar, strong square of the wicket, carves a cut for a single and Edwards ends the over by glancing two off his legs.

05:06 PM

OVER 37: NED 182/6 (Edwards 12 Seelaar 9)         

Seelaar square cuts Moeen for two then goes for an almighty yahoo across the line, having dropped to one knee and nicks one wide of Buttler for four.

The RRR is 24.38 from here. Yikes.

05:01 PM

OVER 36: NED 175/6 (Edwards 12 Seelaar 6)       

England cap Curran's workload for now and bring back Topley. Overthrows turn a single to cover into two for Seelaar and the Netherlands captain takes on an arm again with a sharo single to the sub Carse but his throw misses the non-strikers by quite a margin, a tin or two of Whiskas.  Time for drinks.

04:56 PM

OVER 35: NED 172/6 (Edwards 12 Seelaar 3)       

Edwards drives Moeen for a single, Seelaar gets off the mark by chopping a short ball outside off for two and then farms the strike with a single off the last ball flicked down to the midwicket sweeper.

04:54 PM

OVER 34: NED 168/6 (Edwards 11 Seelaar 0)     

Sam Curran wasn't expected to bowl all that much today given his recent recovery from the back injury but in he bounds for a sixth over. Edwards tucks two off a short ball aimed at his ribs and pulls a single off the next ball.

04:52 PM

OVER 33: NED 165/6 (Edwards 8 Seelaar 0)     

Moeen takes his third wicket, winkling out Van Beek, In comes the Dutch captain, Pietar Seelaar, whose highest score in 56 ODIs is 3 though he does have a first class century to his name.

04:46 PM

Wicket!!

Van Beek c Roy b Ali 6  'He hits a long ball', says Dominic Cork, his former coach at Derbyshire. And a ball later he does come down but goes for the chip again rather than a full swing of the bat and Roy takes it delightedly at head height at mid-on. Having missed out on the run feast, he gets into the game at last.  FOW 165/6

04:46 PM

OVER 32: NED 162/5 (Edwards 5 Van Beek 6)   

Curran is clawing back his economy rate after the first over of his second spell sent it soaring it over six. This one goes for only three singles, two of them worked into the legside with the angle, one driven to point.

04:43 PM

OVER 31: NED 159/5 (Edwards 3 Van Beek 5)   

Enter the allounder Van Beek who hits his first ball for four off a thick edge. An on-drive earns him a single, Edwards sweeps for two and pinches the strike with another lap.

04:37 PM

Wicket!!!

Cooper c Salt b Moeen 23  Instead of freeing his arms and committing he juts tried to chip it over the infield and plinked it to Salt at long-on.  FOW 151/5

04:36 PM

OVER 30: NED 151/4 (Cooper 23 Edwards 0) 

After De Leede perishes, Cooper plays tip and run to cover and takes on Moeen's arm. He would have been stranded had Moeen's shy hit. Daft.

04:31 PM

Wicket!!!

De Leede c Livingstone b Curran 28  The bouncer does the job. Livingstone cramped him and he top- edged the pull. Livingstone, back on the field, ran to his left to take a straightforward catch.  FOW 150/4

04:30 PM

OVER 29: NED 149/3 (Cooper 21 De Leede 28) 

Moeen replaces Rashid and bamboozles De Leede with drift and dip, trapping him on the front shin. England appeal but Buttler signals that it was going down. The 19-year-old allrounder sweeps hard for two then takes two more by scurrying on to the back foot to drag two through square leg.

04:27 PM

OVER 28: NED 144/3 (Cooper 20 De Leede 24)

Sam Curran returns and Bas de Leede decides, like Evan Dando, that it's about time. He walks down towards the bowler, does not get to the pitch but it doesn't matter as he reaches it and dumps his drive over mid-off for six. That's the first boundary since O'Dowd departed.

04:22 PM

OVER 27: NED 134/3 (Cooper 18 De Leede 16)

Rashid reels off three dot balls, varying pace and flight. When he overpitches Cooper gets down to sweep two down to fine leg.

04:20 PM

OVER 26: NED 131/3 (Cooper 16 De Leede 15)                   

The pint-pot snake that has been banned in England is allowed in the EU. Some Brexit dividend that..

Cooper works Willey off middle and leg behind square for a single, De Leede whisks two off his toes and drives one between mid-on and midwicket.

04:17 PM

OVER 25: NED 127/3 (Cooper 15 De Leede 12)                   

There's some turn for Rashid but not enough to beat the bat. Simon Doull says it's as if the batsmen are enjoying the inquisition provided by Rashid, the best ODI spinner in the world over the past few years, and that's enough for now, working out how to play him. Yes, they've been shellacked but the match ought to be an education for them, too.  Two singles.

04:13 PM

OVER 24: NED 125/3 (Cooper 14 De Leede 11)                   

Willey comes back for a second spell. De Leede takes singles to cover and midwicket, Cooper to extra cover and a leg bye.

04:09 PM

OVER 23: NED 121/3 (Cooper 13 De Leede 9)                 

Hey Jude is played by the DJ and the crowd joins in as if they were at Griffin Park. Cooper and De Leede take a pair of singles apiece off Rashid. Boundaries have dried up completely. They can manipulate the ball but dare not try to hit out when Rashid cramps them.

04:06 PM

OVER 22: NED 117/3 (Cooper 11 De Leede 7)                 

Livingstone has to go off with some discomfort in his right calf. Given how much force he puts through his body to provide a stable base when he brings the bat through the dial from nine o'clock to 11, I'm not surprised. Cooper drives a single and pulls for one and two. Topley's pace is good. Mid eighties. It proves you can recover from back injuries and come back even better if you have the luck and grit that Topley showed. De Leede back-cuts a single and works another through midwicket.

04:02 PM

OVER 21: NED 111/3 (Cooper 7 De Leede 5)               

Netherlands take three singles and a two off Rashid without really using the middle of the bat.

03:57 PM

OVER 20: NED 106/3 (Cooper 3 De Leede 4)               

De Leede pulls Topley's short one down to fine leg then cuts a single. Cooper, finally on strike for the last ball, hacks a pull off the bottom edge for a single to ensure he retains it.

03:55 PM

OVER 19: NED 102/3 (Cooper 2 De Leede 1)             

Roy drops Cooper at extra cover. Rashid had come back on, beat Cooper in the flight and Roy made good ground tp dive forward but couldn't close his fingers around the ball before he landed heavily.

03:53 PM

OVER 18: NED 100/3 (Cooper 2 De Leede 0)             

Morgan sends for Topley to relieve Rashid and he immediately makes amends for burning a review when he pins Cooper with one that was slanting down the legside. He was convinced but no matter, after they run a leg bye he takes the wicket of the well-set O'Dowd instead.

03:46 PM

Wicket!!!

O'Dowd b Topley 54  Done by the angle of  left arm quick coming round the wicket. He tried to step away to smash it over mid on, threw everything at it apart from precision and missed the ball that clattered into the top of middle. FOW 100/3

03:45 PM

OVER 17: NED 98/2 (O'Dowd 53 Cooper 2)           

After the wicket in comes Tom Cooper for his first ODI innings for nine years. That's some international exile for the 35-year-old native Aussie whose Dutch mother allowed Netherlands to cap him in 2010. He didn't enjoy a particularly productive Bog Bash with the Brisbane Heat but he does have an ODI century to his name.

Cooper gets off the mark with a legside nurdle, O'Dowd flicks one through midwicket and Cooper farms the strike with a prod through cover.

03:38 PM

Wicket!!!

Musa c Rashid b Moeen 21  Musa plays a premeditated scoop . Rashid runs to his right from short third man and dives to take a decent catch.  FOW 95/2

03:38 PM

OVER 16: NED 95/1 (O'Dowd 52 Musa 21)           

More tap for Adil who is slog swept by O'Dowd to bring up his fifty with a four/

03:36 PM

OVER 15: NED 89/1 (O'Dowd 42 Musa 20)         

Now O'Dowd shows the deftness to go with the power, reverse sweeping Moeen for four. Another single down to long on stretches the partnership to 69 off 67 balls.

03:34 PM

OVER 14: NED 84/1 (O'Dowd 42 Musa 20)         

Max O'Dowd is doing to Adil Rashid what few other batsmen have managed to achieve. He drops to one knee having cleared the front leg and, with enormous forearm power, bludgeons a drive over long on for six. It  smashes a pane of glass in the press box window. Poor Tim Wigmore and pack. They've been under bombardment all day.

03:30 PM

OVER 13: NED 75/1 (O'Dowd 34 Musa 19)         

Moeen is giving it a rip and when one pins O'Dowd England go up in unison. But they must have known it was going down as they down't review. Four singles off the over.

03:26 PM

OVER 12: NED 71/1 (O'Dowd 32 Musa 17)       

Double change. Adil Rashid spins the ball from hand to hand and wheels in. He begins with two dot balls and Ahmad takes him for two and a single on the sweep, both risky as the ball was arrowing towards middle and leg. O'Dowd ends the over with a fat six over long on. No real elegance but a highly effective clout.

03:23 PM

OVER 11: NED 61/1 (O'Dowd 25 Musa 14)       

Musa sweeps Moeen for two and then square drives the off-spinner for a single. Moeen comes over the wicket to O'Dowd who tries to reverse sweep him but doesn't bargain for the spin which makes the ball turn and hits his elbow. Jos Buttler raises his hand and shouts an appeal but it was heading down and probably over, too. They run a leg bye.

03:18 PM

OVER 10: NED 55/1 (O'Dowd 24 Musa 10)     

Curran tests O'Dowd on the bouncer but he's not quick enough to hurry the right-hander who sways inside the line and hooks it fine for four. When Curran pitches the next ball up, O'Dowd thumps it on the up back over him for four.

That's the end of the Powerplay and time for some spin. Moeen Ali will have first crack. 

03:14 PM

OVER 9: NED 46/1 (O'Dowd 16 Musa 9)     

O'Dowd tires of Willey getting into the groove with a series of length balls. When Willey errs slightly on the short side, O'Dowd pulls it smartly for four. He pitches the next one up, right in O'Dowd's slot, and he drills an off-drive betwixt bowler and non-striker for four. Now he's dictating terms.

03:11 PM

OVER 8: NED 37/1 (O'Dowd 8 Musa 9)   

Sam Curran, back from the stress fracture of the verterbrae, comes on for his first bowl in international cricket since last year's Headingley Test. O'Dowd squirts a single between gully and third man but that's the only damage to Curran's figures as he mixes cutters with a bouncer and outswing to the left-hander.

03:08 PM

OVER 7: NED 36/1 (O'Dowd 7 Musa 9)   

O'Dowd brings the bat down not from second slip but leg slip and then around to second slip. Curious method but working so far. He tickles the first of Willey's fourth over down to fine leg for a single, Musa twists his wrists the other way to divert his drive down to third man. Willey, from over the wicket, strays too close to the pads and although O'Dowd fiddles after it, he can't reach it. His pads do the work though and they rack up four leg-byes.

03:02 PM

OVER 6: NED 29/1 (O'Dowd 5 Musa 8)   

Musa throws his hands at a drove and the ball flashes wide of second slip in the air and rattles down to the boundary for four. The rest of Topley's over is a series of dots but Ahmad was unlucky his straight drive off a low full toss clattered into the stumps at the no striker's. Had it been 10cm wider it would have gone for four.

02:59 PM

OVER 5: NED 25/1 (O'Dowd 5 Musa 4) 

Ahmad skelps a straight one from Willey off his pads for two and then leans back to slice a single down to third man.

02:57 PM

OVER 4: NED 21/1 (O'Dowd 4 Musa 1) 

O'Dowd gets off the mark with a push through point, ditto Ahmad who dabs Topley down to third man. O'Dowd, originally from Auckland, has a highest score of 89. Looks a bit loose with his backlift. But he likes straight balls and whips just such a ball through midwicket for three. Livingstone's chase, dive and pull-back saves one.

02:51 PM

OVER 3: NED 15/1 (O'Dowd 0 Musa 0)

Singh withdraws his back foot to allow him to stroke the ball square through the offside but it leaves him vulnerable to late movement and he trudges off when Willey works that out and executes the plan perfectly.

Musa Ahmad comes in at No3. The Lahore-born left-hander made his top score of 42 against West indies in his last match and has played second XI games for Leicestershire.

02:46 PM

Wicket!!!

Singh b Willey 13  Done by the nip-backer. No foot movement. Good nut. Poor shot. FOW 15/1

02:44 PM

OVER 2: NED 11/0 (Singh 11 O'Dowd 0)

England have three left arm medium pacers in their attack; Topley, the quickest of the trio, takes the other new ball but hangs the first one, invitingly full, outside off and Singh square drives it handsomely for four. Two more come in front of square with a well-timed push. It's not Jason Roy's day. He fails to get the long barrier down and the ball squirts between his legs at point and they run a single.

02:39 PM

OVER 1: NED 6/0 (Singh 4 O'Dowd 0)

Vikramjit Singh, a tall left-handed opener, punches Willey's second ball through cover for three. Nice stroke. Willey has a couple of slips, Moeen, unusually, at first, Malan at second.

Malan slants one too wide across O'Dowd and concedes a wide but then gets it almost spot one with an inswinger that pins the right hander but was heading down. They run a leg bye.

02:35 PM

The players are out

And David Willey will open the bowling for England.

02:12 PM

Break: ENG 498/4

England blast their way to a new world record; Buttler maks England's second fastest century and the world's second fastest 150 while Livingstone blitzes the second fastest ODI fifty.

Spare a thought for those bowlers - only Logan van Beek with one for 82 managed to keep his economy rate below nine.

Join us as Netherlands chase 499 for victory. Why not? Remember Jo'burg 2006?

02:07 PM

OVER 50: ENG 498/4 (Buttler 162 Livingstone 66) 

Snater uses the wide ball to hold Buttler down to two fours to equal the world record of 481 with four balls left. Buttler takes England past it by flipping a low full toss over deep midwicket for six. The next ball is fuller and slower and Buttler taps a single through cover.

Can they get to 500 with 12 needed off the last two? No Livingstone tonks them both for boundaries to midwicket but the first falls a yard short and goes for four, followed by a six.

What an onslaught.

02:03 PM

OVER 49: ENG 477/4 (Buttler 151 Livingstone 56) 

Van Beek has used the tramlines cleverly to keep the carnage, at least from his end at bay. Buttler takes a two and two singles to bring up 150 off 65 balls, one ball more than AB De Villiers's 64-ball record.

Logan van Beek checks out by going for only seven, nailing a series of wideish yorkers.

The strike rates are risible: Buttler's is 229, Livingstone's 280.

02:00 PM

OVER 48: ENG 470/4 (Buttler 146 Livingstone 54)

Oh no. Poor Boissevain, who has figures of 10-0-108-0 drops a horribly difficult chance off Livingstone. It was swirling and went up a mile but he couldn't hang on at deep backward square and they run two. Po' lad. Having pumped the first ball over cover for four, Livingstone is well on course t beat AB De Villers' 16-ball fastest 50 but a swing and a miss and a full toss that strikes him in the goolies puts paid to that. He smacks his 17th ball for six over wide long on to bring it up nonetheless. Decent over from Snater given the circs.

01:55 PM

OVER 47: ENG 457/4 (Buttler 146 Livingstone 42)

Good start by Van Beek who is using the tram lines. Buttler jams his bat down to squirt a wide one to point for a single. Livingstone can stretch to reach the sixth-stump line and pongos it over cover for four. Van Beek surprises him with a bouncer and clanks him on the lid. He's OK but will need a concussion test. He passes it, he's fine. It's the Dutch who are reeling.

Livingstone moves to 42 off 12 balls with a flat-batted spank over cover for four and then pinches the strike with a swipe down to long on for a single.

01:49 PM

OVER 46: ENG 446/4 (Buttler 145 Livingstone 33)

Call the cops. This is ridiculous. Poor Philippe Boissevain is being dismembered. Livingstone launches a violent assault on the young legspinner and takes him for 32 off the over, going 4, 6, 6, 6, 4, 6. All the sixes go over midwicket, one of the fours is dragged through square leg and the other is pulverised over cover.

Is the world record, which currently is England's 481 at Trent Bridge against Australia in 2018 on?

01:45 PM

OVER 45: ENG 414/4 (Buttler 145 Livingstone 1)                                       

Some reward for Seelaar - two wickets in two balls and were Morgan anyone else but the steel-eyed supremo of English cricket you might think he would be cursing his luck. But that's not how Morgan thinks.

Enter Livingstone for the hat-trick ball which he pats through midwicket for a single.

Patting is not in Buttler's vocabulary any more. He is on strike for the final ball and he wallops it over long on for six more!

01:41 PM

Wicket!!!

Morgan lbw b Seelaar 0 Gone for a golden duck. The umpire must have thought it pitched outside leg as the England captain went for the slog sweep because it looked as though it was hitting, which, indeed it was. FOW 407/4

01:39 PM

NED review

Morgan lbw b Seelaar Looked close.

01:36 PM

Wicket!!!

Malan c De Leede b Seelaar 125 A superb innings that will be overshadowed by Buttler's blitzkrieg ends when Malan tucks into the Dutch captain's left-arm spin and cloths it down deep backward square's throat.   FOW 407/3

01:35 PM

OVER 44: ENG 401/2 (Malan 121 Buttler 138)                                     

Malan, understandably becalmed and content to rotate the strike whenever Buttler lets him have a hit, joins the party with a towering straight six off Bossevain. He chisels out a single through midwicket and then Buttler makes it a dozen sixes, losing his umpteenth ball, by heaving it over midwicket. I'm running out of verbs. That's 400.

01:28 PM

OVER 43: ENG 385/2 (Malan 114 Buttler 129)                                     

Snater is the next volunteer to put his head on the block as Buttler wields his axe. He tries slower balls, a language Buttler is fluent in. He projects the first back over the bowler's head for six and torpedoes the third over cover for four. He hit that so hard and flat it would have amputated the hand of the cover had he been able to react before it screeched past him.

01:23 PM

OVER 42: ENG 368/2 (Malan 113 Buttler 114)                                     

Buttler rocks on to the back foot to cart Dutt over deep backward square for a six to bring up a 47-ball hundred. I don't think England have ever had a match where three of the top four have made hundreds or any game where they have scored three hundreds.

Dutt pitches the next one further up, Buttler gets his front leg out of the way and sticks it in what, for once, we can accurately call the long grass.

Buttler makes it three sixes in a row with a swivel slapshot over deep midwicket. De Leede misjudged it and ran past it but he would have needed a trampette to reach it.

01:17 PM

OVER 41: ENG 346/2 (Malan 112 Buttler 93)                                   

Malan gives Buttler the strike with a clip through midwicket for a single off Van Beek. Buttler's six sixes have all flown well beyond the rope but his seventh eclipses all of them, launched into orbit back over the bowler's head for six. Van Beek decides to hide the ball outside off, painting the blue wide line. He gets it wrong by milimetres and concedes the wide but when he gets it right he makes Buttler stretch and racks up a dot ball, a pair of twos and another dot ball. Twelve off the over is treated as something of a triumph for the Oranje.

Someone reading the lyrics off his phone starts the Barmy Army chant. How can you not know the words? How have you managed to escape them after all these years?

01:11 PM

OVER 40: ENG 334/2 (Malan 110 Buttler 83)                                   

De Leede returns and sees Buttler coming so bangs it in two balls in a row, both of which he scoops for four. Netherlands' fastest bowler comes round the wicket, pitches up and Buttler clears his front leg to flog it into the pavilion. That's his sixth six and takes his score to 79 off 39, a strike rate above 200.

You'd think he might accept that the kid has taken enough punishment but he keeps meting it out as a lesson for the all-rounder who finishes with a short ball. Buttler ramps this one for four fine of third man. He has 83 off 40. The fastest ODI hundred record for England is his 46-ball ton against Pakistan in 2015 at Dubai.

01:05 PM

OVER 39: ENG 313/2 (Malan 110 Buttler 63)                                 

Buttler reads Van Beek's slower ball and takes on the one that did for Salt. He meets it with a tennis stroke, spanking it through cover. After the power, the grace. Buttler dabs one down to third man, giving Malan the strike and he takes advantage of the extra ball following a wide with a legside flip through midwicket for four. His timing was immaculate.

12:58 PM

OVER 38: ENG 300/2 (Malan 105 Buttler 57)                                 

Aryan Dutt tries to put the brakes on with a wise strategy of bowling shorter with his off breaks, stopping Buttler freeing those slick wrists to hit down the ground. Buttler takes a two and two singles to square leg on the pull plus a strike-stealing reverse sweep to point. Malan chops a cut for a single and whips a rare fuller one through midwicket for another.

12:55 PM

OVER 37: ENG 293/2 (Malan 103 Buttler 52)                               

Buttler brings up his half-century off 27 balls with his fifth steepling six. He picks Snater's slower ball and whomps it over long-on. Goodness me. The record score on this ground is 443. It has to be under threat.

12:51 PM

OVER 36: ENG 283/2 (Malan 101 Buttler 44)                               

A hundred for Malan which makes him England's second all format international men's centurion (Heather Knight has the hat-trick for the women). Buttler had late cut a four and chopped a single off the inside edge to give his partner the strike and Malan brings up his first ODI century with a flick through midwicket. It has taken him 90 balls and includes seven fours and two sixes.

12:46 PM

OVER 35: ENG 274/2 (Malan 99 Buttler 38)                             

Singh misjudges the flight of Buttler's lofted on drive, comes in too far and tips it over the rope for six. Had he stood still he would have caught it. Or should have. Buttler makes the most of his life and carts the next ball over midwicket for six and then almost clears the trees at long on. Birdstrike imminent! The Dutch captain Seelaar is under a terrible assault but should have bagged his man ... twice. Oh no. Nadeem Musa grasses a sitter at long off and it was such a goober that Buttler was heading off. To drop Buttler once is misfortune etc

The captain must be fuming.

12:41 PM

OVER 34: ENG 253/2 (Malan 99 Buttler 17)                             

Seven off the over, which must count as something of a triumph for the home side. Malan moves to 99 with two twos - a drive to cover and his favourite reverse paddle - and a single off Boissevain to midwicket.

12:37 PM

OVER 33: ENG 246/2 (Malan 94 Buttler 15)                           

Hockey all the way for Buttler who plays his hockey snap to deposit the ball on the hockey fields behind the bowler. No one can find it so we start again with a third ball of the innings.

12:33 PM

OVER 32: ENG 237/2 (Malan 93 Buttler 7)                           

Buttler takes on the legspinner with his lightning hands, driving the first ball through mid-on for four. It's all about weight transference these days and the astonishing dexterity of those hands for Buttler rather than any significant movement towards the ball. Which makes talk of a red ball return  silly. As Simon Doull says, he's the best in the world at this game. Leave him to flourish without any more attempts to reclaim him for Tests.

Boissevain darts a couple in to put dot balls in the scorebook until Buttler punches a single off the back foot through cover. Malan does use a big stride, by contrast, and smears a cover drive for four.

12:28 PM

OVER 31: ENG 228/2 (Malan 89 Buttler 2)                         

Circumspect start from Buttler and Malan, momentarily, goes back into his shell against Seelaar as they stroll four singles.

12:25 PM

OVER 30: ENG 224/2 (Malan 87 Buttler 0)                         

The partnership ends on double Nelson when Van Beek makes the breakthrough. Jos Buttler, IPL 2022's MVP and England's 'floater' , which isn't a term with wholly positive connotations, comes in and Malan gives him the strike for the final ball with a tuck off his pads for a single. Buttler gets his nose over the top to defend it.

Salt's innings of 122 took him 93 balls to compile and contained 14 fours and three sixes.

12:17 PM

Wicket!!

Salt c Boissevain b Van Beek 122  Gets him with the slow bouncer outside off. Salt leans back to try to carve it for six but the lack of pace wrecks his timing and he slices it to point who runs to his right to snaffle.  FOW 223/2

12:16 PM

OVER 29: ENG 218/1 (Salt 118 Malan 86)                       

Seelaar brings himself back on to try to stem the tide and for five balls, from which England glean only three singles, it looks as if he might have a chance. And then he serves up a full toss. Salt chassés down and pumps it over midwicket. It sails high into trees, hits a branch and rebounds on to the field. They didn't lose the ball but it suffered too much damage in the impact for the umpires to persevere with it. The partnership is 217.

12:10 PM

OVER 28: ENG 207/1 (Salt 110 Malan 84)                       

De Leede returns and England climb into him with four fours off his first five balls. Malan carves the first through point and when De Leede adjusts his length and pitches up, the left-hander flicks another off his bootstraps. De Leede tries to stay full to Salt but serves up a couple of half volleys and Salt eases the straighter one through midwicket and the wider one whistling through the covers.

12:06 PM

OVER 27: ENG 190/1 (Salt 101 Malan 75)                     

Century for Salt, brought up with a controlled pull off Snater for a single, the 82nd ball of his fine innings. Malan shakes his hand then gives him the strike back with a flick through square leg. Salt continue to rotate, driving to long-on and Malan moves his strike rate above 100 when Snater angles one on to his pads and he just helps it round the corner for four.

12:01 PM

OVER 26: ENG 182/1 (Salt 99 Malan 69)                     

Malan makes it successive fours for England with the reverse sweep he uses so frequently, tickling Dutt's offbreak from outside off fine down to third man. The cover drive earns him two and a straighter punch a single. Salt moves to 99 with a flick off the pads and takes the strike on the verge of a maiden international century.

11:58 AM

OVER 25: ENG 174/1 (Salt 98 Malan 62)                     

Seelaar feels that spin from both ends is allowing England to motor along too smoothly so brings back Shane Snater. They work him around for five singles until he hangs one too wide and short outside off stump. Salt's eyes brighten, he chases it and gives it the kitchen sink, ensuring that it flies for four even though it comes off the edge.

11:53 AM

OVER 24: ENG 165/1 (Salt 92 Malan 59)                   

Malan has to gallop hard to beat the throw from the covers weeper and does so by hurtling straight up the middle of the pitch which makes him collide with keeper and stumps as he makes his ground. The umpires should really have a word with him but leave him be. Malan cuts Dutt for a single, Salt whisks one through midwicket and Malan goes over point with a slice for a third.

11:49 AM

OVER 23: ENG 160/1 (Salt 91 Malan 55)                   

Boissevain oversteps, adding an extra as well as a free hit after Malan slams two through cover but the No3 swings and misses at the gimme ball. Malan drives a single down to long-on and Salt cleaves the leggie through point for two.

11:45 AM

OVER 22: ENG 152/1 (Salt 89 Malan 50)                 

Fifty for Malan off 54 balls, working the off-spinner through midwicket for a single. Salt, who had faced only 13 more balls at the end of the 21st over accepts the strike greedily and collars Dutt's drag down, pulling it balletically for four.

11:39 AM

OVER 21: ENG 146/1 (Salt 84 Malan 49)                 

Boissevain tempts Malan by tossing one up and he RSVPs by slamming a drive over long-off for six. He is a fine player of spin and Boissevain can only keep him quiet by darting the last couple in to him and giving him no possibility of freeing his arms.

11:37 AM

OVER 20: ENG 137/1 (Salt 82 Malan 42)               

Time for the 19-year-old Aryan Dutt who bowls off-spin. He is tall and bowls briskly but with any lanky spinner, looks susceptible to length issues, dragging the odd one down because they don't want to be too floaty. Salt taps a single to mid-on and Malan breaks the manacles off the short one, carving a cut for four.

11:32 AM

OVER 19: ENG 130/1 (Salt 80 Malan 37)               

Salt drives the legspinner through mid on for a single, Malan chips one down to long-on for another and Salt bludgeons Boissevain for two down the ground. Salt closes the face to nudge a single and Malan ends the over by flicking two through midwicket.

11:28 AM

OVER 18: ENG 122/1 (Salt 76 Malan 34)             

Dominic Cork is concerned that Dawid Malan is chewing up too many balls and it's now nine overs since his last boundary. A flick off his hip earns him a single to take his score to 34 off 43. Salt bunts two through cover, a single to mid-off and then nurdles a single past the square leg umpire.

11:25 AM

OVER 17: ENG 117/1 (Salt 72 Malan 33)             

Much better by Boissevain after that revivifying drink, conceding only two singles as he takes control with more turn and flight.

11:21 AM

OVER 16: ENG 115/1 (Salt 71 Malan 32)             

Van Beek comes back on, this time from the other end. Salt pats a drive to mid-on and sprints a single, Malan cuts the medium pacer for another and then, for some reason, Van Beek tries the popgun bouncer again. He must think he's quicker than he is. Salt rocks on to the front foot, climbs into the pull and wallops it into the gazebos at midwicket.

11:15 AM

OVER 15: ENG 107/1 (Salt 64 Malan 31)           

Here's the leg-spinner Philippe Boissevan on the threshold of drinks and England milk him for four singles and two twos as he struggles to find a consistent length. Not much in the way of sharp turn.

11:10 AM

OVER 14: ENG 99/1 (Salt 60 Malan 27)           

Bas de Leede comes round the wicket to Malan but still can't find a consistent line, angling one so far across the umpire signals wide. Both batsmen work singles through the onside and, when De Leede overpitches, Salt caresses an off-drive for four. Beauty and the beast: next ball is short and wide, Salt tries to cut and edges it for four with what would have been a gimme for a first slip worth his ... erm ... sodium chloride.

11:04 AM

OVER 13: ENG 88/1 (Salt 51 Malan 26)         

Malan is pinned playing the reverse paddle, missing the ball which clipped him on the right ankle. Eoin Morgan was halfway down the steps, thinking it had to be out but ball tracking judged that it was turning down. I'm not certain Seelaar has turned anything as far as that all day and he looks shocked not to get the decision.

Malan stays upright to work a single through midwicket and Salt brings up his half-century off 39 balls after dancing down and belting a drive between bowler and long-off for his eighth boundary.

11:01 AM

NOT OUT

That's a surprise. It turned too much.

10:58 AM

ENG review

Malan lbw b Seelaar   Looked pretty plumb to me. Unless he hit it. But if he did why did it take him so long to make the signal?

10:57 AM

OVER 12: ENG 82/1 (Salt 46 Malan 25)         

De Leede is punished by Reiffel for a bouncer he calls wide and Snater who drops Salt at backward point. The right-hander hammered it off the back foot and it must have stung but he really should have clung on. They run two and Salt exploits his good fortune by opening his stance to bludgeon a length ball over mid-on for four. Poor Bas.

10:54 AM

OVER 11: ENG 75/1 (Salt 40 Malan 25)       

Seelaar beats Malan with the final ball of the over, taking the pace off to fox the left-hander. The over had started with four byes, Malan shaping to reverse sweep, the keeper running to his left to try to stop it and the ball scuttled under the bat, beat Edwards on the inside and rolled down to the sightscreen.

Three singles come into the legside.

10:49 AM

OVER 10: ENG 67/1 (Salt 38 Malan 23)       

Time for a spell from the all-rounder Bas de Leede who bats No3 and is the quickest bowler in the squad. He's 22 and from Nootdoorp, to the east of the Hague in South Holland. Comfortably 85 mph but Paul Reiffel punishes him by signalling a wide when Malan walks across his stumps and the ball vaults leg stump. It's one of three wides he signals to go with two singles and a two for Salt, whipped behind square leg.

De Leede has more control from over the wicket bowling to the right-hander. Touch of the Jacques Kallis about him.

That's the end of the Powerplay and the end of Salt's bat which was cracked by the final delivery which he blocked back up the pitch.

10:43 AM

OVER 9: ENG 59/1 (Salt 35 Malan 21)     

Malan has had enough of staying in the hutch to Seelaar, walks down and plonks a drive into the trees at long off. After a  minute or so of searching, 12th man finds the ball in the undergrowth.

Seelaar adjusts, bowling slower and straighter, conceding only three singles from the remaining five balls.

10:39 AM

OVER 8: ENG 50/1 (Salt 34 Malan 13)     

Salt dabs a single off Snater through gully, Malan works the straight one through square leg and Salt picks the slower ball and clips it wide of mid-on for four. All bottom hand.

Here's that England shirt, in case you wanted to do an Oedipus on yourself:

10:35 AM

OVER 7: ENG 44/1 (Salt 29 Malan 12)   

Malan reverse paddles the second ball for a single and Seelaar comes round the wicket to Salt who drives his first delivery between bowler and mid-off for four. Malan looks less comfortable with this line of attack and after Salt plays tip and run to mid-off, Malan can't work the final two balls off the square or past the infield but England do add a wide to the total.

10:31 AM

OVER 6: ENG 37/1 (Salt 24 Malan 11)   

Snater stays on for a third over and England milk three singles but are otherwise becalmed ... temporarily.

Pietar Seelaar is going to bring himself on with his slow left-arm spin. Bold move in the Powerplay.

10:27 AM

OVER 5: ENG 34/1 (Salt 23 Malan 9) 

At last Malan has some strike after Salt hogging and butchering (some of) the last 13 deliveries. Van Beek continues, bowling a fourth-stump line from over the wicket but drifts too wide and Malan opens the face to drill a square drive for what turns out to be four - they ran three but when the third umpire checked Boissevan's claw back from the rope came a split second too late.

Malan pats a single to mid-off and hares a single, Salt nurdles one to midwicket and Malan ends the over by whisking three off his pads. They're bowling far too straight for such accomplished inside players.

10:22 AM

OVER 4: ENG 25/1 (Salt 22 Malan 1) 

Salt is typically damned with faint praise which usually focuses on his brute strength. But the Welshman can play and shows off his lovely timing with a wonderful straight drive for four that whistles past the non-striker's stumps. He holds the pose and doesn't bother to run. There wouldn't have been any point.

Snater keeps plugging away with a fullish length but errs just the once, dropping short and Salt pulls it witheringly for four more.

10:16 AM

OVER 3: ENG 17/1 (Salt 14 Malan 1)

Salt shows his power, creaming a drive off Van Beek that screeched through cover for four and then, when the bowler tests him out on the short ball, he swivels and carts it on the pull high into the stands at cow corner for six. You can't bowl 75mph bouncers at Salt ... or anyone.

Van Beek sprays a wide down the legside and Salt uses the extra ball to farm the strike by turning a single through midwicket.

10:12 AM

OVER 2: ENG 5/1 (Salt 3 Malan 1)

Shane Snater, who plays white ball for Essex and is the cousin of Jason Roy, bags familt bragging rights with his second delivery. The groundsman has watered the pitch on what promises to be a scorching day in the Amsterdam suburbs and the ball is sticking in the pitch a little. It won't last but while it does it's messing with their timing.

I did Snater a disservice by originally saying Roy played on. It came off his right pad as Smater snuck the inswinger through his booming drive.

Malan works his second ball for a single then Salt is almost undone by the sticky pitch, the ball coming on a fraction after he had anticipated it. But the fielding restrictions during the Powerplay helped him as he spooned the drive over point, up in the circle and they run three.

10:07 AM

Wicket!!

Roy b Snater 1  Roy drives and is gated by the inswinger. And the bowler is his cousin! FOW 1/1

10:05 AM

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

Brian 'Murgers' Murgatroyd is also in the commentary box and is on mic when Logan van Beek, a Kiwi by birth, comes in to Roy, playing his 99th ODI, right-arm over. Roy leaves one, wears one on his thighpad and then pats a single to mid-on to get off the mark.

Van Beek, a former Derbyshire bowler, hangs one outside Salt's off stump and the Lancs opener has a swish but doesn't reach it with his yahooing drive.

Good start from Van Beek.

10:00 AM

The openers are ready

And they're wearing their hideous new shirts. Sky has flown Mark Butcher, Dominic Cork and Simon Doull out to commentate. Doull says the pitch is hard and fast which should make the Netherlands' second string attack quiver.

09:46 AM

09:41 AM

Toss: Netherlands have won the toss

And put England in to bat.

09:41 AM

Good morning

It has been two years and 11 months since England became 50-over world champions on Bastille Day 2019 and in that time, because of pandemic and priorities, Eoin Morgan's blue and blue army have played only 16 ODIs and three of those were undertaken by Ben Stokes' irregulars last year when the entire first-choice team was ruled out by Covid. By contrast, they have played a scarcely believable 40 Tests and 39 T20s as they kept propped up the entire game's finances.

Netherlands, deprived of their county players today, have been on a dreadful run, losing their last nine ODIs, though they put up a game fight against West Indies in their recent three-match home series.

England have a couple of issues to sort before next year's World Cup in India. The batting places, if everyone is fit, should be pretty settled unless Morgan steps down after the T20 later this year - Roy, Bairstow, Root, Buttler, Stokes and Morgan - but it would be good to have someone in form to push for a place. The three spinning slots should go to Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid with Matt Parkinson as the back-up but they desperately need to find some seam bowlers after the sidelining of Liam Plunkett and the ongoing injury problems of Jofra Archer and, to a lesser extent, Chris Woakes.

All eyes will be on Sam Curran and Reece Topley to see of they can press their claims today.

08:34 AM

England's new white-ball era

By Greg Wilcox

The low-key surroundings of Amstelveen, a suburb of Amsterdam, may be a world away from England's usual environs but it's where their new white-ball era under Matthew Mott begins with the first of three one-day internationals against Holland.

A series against the Dutch may not seem overly arduous but captain Eoin Morgan said that the ODIs were an important part both of the side's 50-over World Cup defence and the build-up to this year’s T20 World Cup in Australia in October.

“At the moment it revolves around trying to get the right players in the right roles given the squad we’ve brought,” he said. “Part of one of the reasons for having our senior guys here is to grow that relationship with the coach.

“One of the attributes when thinking about the future of our white-ball game and what the team require is an experienced coach that brings that hunger for success and isn't afraid to hold some of the best players in the world accountable in a team environment,” Morgan said. “Motty brings that.”

One of the most obvious changes we'll see in Holland is Jos Buttler being used in a new floating role in the middle order, as England bid to make greater use of their most talented batsman.

Buttler has only batted at four in 11 of his 148 ODIs – making two centuries in the position. He has most frequently been used at six, including at Lord’s in the 2019 World Cup final, but Morgan suggested he might appear higher up the order this series.

“He has done that previously and we'll assess it as the game goes on and see how his role might evolve,” Morgan said.

Buttler comes into the series on the back of a hugely impressive showing in their year's Indian Premier League, where he scored 863 runs - the second-highest tally in the competition’s history – as an opener.

Stay here for all the action with play set to start at 10.
