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.
