There is goes....with a six.
13 off 3 to break the 500 barrier... seems unlikely

Eoin Morgan can tell his grand-kids he at least played his part in a record...... a first ball duck, but techincally he did bat
Jason Roy also got 1, bowled out by his cousin.... who might take comfort in some family bragging rights before being taken for a further 100 runs.
Salt, Malan and Buttler score big. Livingstone made 66 in 22 balls at the end.
Not a bad day at the office

Could be the biggest margin of defeat as well

498
which means Buttler and Livingstone must have scored 90 runs in the last 5 overs
blimey!

Presume there are a lot of records being broken here. This is the highest ODI score for starters. England also hold the next two.

ABDV got 149* off 44 balls, so fast scoring records won't be broken.

Third most expensive figures for Boissevain.

Currently watching the highlights and it seems that England's 498 seems rather flattering.
Netherlands fielding is barely County Cricket standard. Their ground fielding is not sharp and Buttler could have been caught twice early doors.
Also the Amstelveen outfield looks rather bumpy along the boundary edges. I wouldn't be surprised if the ODI series got abandoned part way though due to safety concerns.

Another zero for Morgs today.

Bit of a fight from NL after losing 3 early wickets, but this looks like a straight forward win
I confess to feeling a little uneasy about all this talk of 500. I worry that there is a danger that England become so obessed by it that they get distracted along the way from the much bigger target of retaining the WC. We saw this unnecessary fixation with records (okay, started by the athlete, but driven relentlessly by the media) derail Adam Peaty at the CWG's in 2018, which I think was pretty much the first time he'd lost a race in 4 years, and I can easily see the England cricket team doing something equally unnecessary.

Maybe a small outfield v NL feels like worth the risk.

maybe not in this series, but sometime in the future when getting it all wrong might matter

I mean, I'm negative about English cricket, but when the debate is "should England try to beat a score that 10 years ago you'd not have even thought possible"....you know times are pretty good.
First world cricket problems.
