It was a subtle shifting of the shadows. As Eoin Morgan sat out optional nets at the leafy Amstelveen ground, his likely successor in the England middle-order, Liam Livingstone, bounded out of practice for the third and final one-day international on Wednesday.
Morgan, who is carrying various injuries to his upper right leg, said before this series against the Netherlands that he would take the summer slowly to ensure his battered body makes it through to the T20 World Cup in Australia in October and November and, far less likely, the 50‑over World Cup a year later.
