The Netherlands posted a solid 235-7 runs against a blistering England attack lead by David Willey and Brydon Carse on a rain-delayed day at the VRA cricket ground outside Amsterdam.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Newly-minted Dutch skipper Scott Edwards won the toss and decided to bat first in the match, reduced to 41 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The move paid far better dividends than Friday's first ODI, when England was sent in to bat and proceeded to set a new one-day world record of 498.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Top-scoring Dutch batsman Edwards, with 78, played a skipper's innings which included three sixes and four fours after surviving an appeal for caught behind off the bowling of Adil Rashid shortly after taking the crease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Television umpire Rizwan Akram also ruled out a subsequent call for lbw -- and Edwards who scored 72 in the first ODI -- continued his good form, including a solid drive for six off a lightning-fast Carse to reach 50, and a magnificent reverse scoop for another six later in his innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Together with exciting rookie Teja Nidamanuru, who slugged 28 off 30 balls, the captain put on a day-best partnership of 73 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Edwards was eventually run out after Willey removed the bails at the bowlers' end with a bull's-eye throw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Young Bas de Leede carved out a patient 34 including slogging a big six off the bowling of Adil Rashid in the 15th over, the ball flying over cow corner to break a window pane in the press box.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A promising spell however came to an end when De Leede mistimed another attempt at a slog off the bowling of Liam Livingstone, popping the ball up into the air for an easy catch by Willey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A late flurry by Logan van Beek with 30 not out saw the hosts post a defendable total against a top England batting line-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
