6 talking points as Roy is left red-faced by cousin before Buttler steals show for England

England beat the Netherlands by a whopping 232 runs in the first ODI at Amstelveen, having set a new world record for the highest ODI total in history thanks to hundreds from Jos Buttler, Dawid Malan and Phil Salt.

After losing the toss and being put into bat, England lost the early wicket of Jason Roy for just 1 when he was bowled by his cousin Shane Snater. However, that was one of very few highlights for the Dutch as England proceeded to utterly dominate proceedings.

First, Salt and Malan shared a 222-run partnership, with Salt scoring his first-ever hundred for England as he made 122 off 93 balls. Malan, meanwhile, notched 125 off 109 balls as he struck his first ODI hundred.
