England wins against The Netherlands in One Day Series, but Eoin Morgan, captain of the One Day Series, continues to struggle

JASON ROY was invited to England's batting party, but captain Eoin McMurray was out for his second duck after three days.

England won easily by six wickets thanks to Roy's aggressive innings of 73 runs from 60 balls.

England was set up by Jason Roy with 73 points scored

Roy only scored one of seven balls in Friday's record-breaking bonanza against Holland, but he was able to fill his shoes in the second match.

The Surrey opener, who was playing his 100th international one-day match, struck three boundaries in the opening of England's chase for a modest target 236. He then pretty much ran after that.

Morgan, the first ball out of the run-blitz middle two days earlier, left for a sevenball duck this time.

England is concerned about Morgan's problems with the bat, with the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia in October and November.

He is in good form and there has been a lot of batsman bashing at the selection door.

Morgan won't be fired because he runs England's white-ball team - but it is possible that he might decide to step down.

Roy and Phil Salt scored 139 runs for England's first wicket, and made sure that England's victory was a mere formality despite Morgan's failure.

Although this was not as impressive as Friday's surge to 498-4, England were too strong for their opponent.

England holds a 2-0 advantage in the series.

These matches attracted large and enthusiastic audiences and have given cricket exposure in mainland Europe. They have proved to be almost pointless as contests.

Roy finally sliced to point, and was caught Friday by Shane Snater who bowled him.

Salt, who scored his maiden century in ODI, was able to take advantage of Jonny Bairstow’s absence again with 77 runs from 54 balls, before being bowled.

Morgan had mis-hit to cover. Tim Pringle, left-arm spinner, took his first international one-day wicket. He was outshined by Liam Livingstone's defensive shot. Pringle then bowled Livingstone.

England lost three wickets to nine runs, but Dawid Malan & Moeen Ali saw them through with 29 balls left.

Roy stated, "To be awarded my 100th cap is an incredible honour, especially when you are playing with this team." It was also nice to score a few runs.

"Phil Salt is a great hitter, keeps it simple, and hits the ball hard. It's always a lot of fun to bat with people like this."

The match was shortened by 41 overs due to a wet field from overnight rain.

Perhaps fearing England's next batter, the Dutch decided to bat first. Their innings failed to get going.

Captain Shaun Edwards reached his second consecutive half-century, before being outed for 78 in 73 deliveries. This was due to David Willey's direct hit from deep mid-wicket. The batsmen tried a second.

Adil Rashid and Willey each took two wickets, but England's bowlers weren't put under any pressure.
