England are back playing the One Day Cricket as they took on the Netherlands for three-match series at Amstelveen. The World Champions haven't played an ODI game in the last 11 months and are only playing against the Dutch for the first time in a bilateral series. 

The series had an interesting build-up and the start was a memorable one as well. The Netherlands won the toss and put England to bat first as Pieter Seelaar thought 'it's a nice ground to chase on'. 

Jason Roy opened the inning with Phil Salt and Shane Snater shared the new ball with Logan van Beek. After playing out the first over, Roy faced his cousin Snater in the second over of the game. 

Jason Roy and Shane Snater's mothers are sisters.

The last time the cousins faced each other was back in the 2018 Royal London Cup when Essex played against Surrey. Roy's 86 off 64 balls had helped Surrey beat Snater's Essex by five wickets. 

Even though Snater couldn't dominate his cousin the last time but the opportunity rose again after four years. Roy faced just three balls from his cousin as on the other third ball itself, Snater got the better of him.

Snater got one moving just a bit into Roy who looked to dominate his cousin but ended up getting a slight inside edge and the ball crashed into the stumps as England lost their first wicket in just the second over of the match.
