PLAYER RATINGS: England's batting stars bully Netherlands in Amstelveen

The Cricketer runs the rule over the individual performances on both sides during the first one-day international

NETHERLANDS

Vikramjit Singh (13): Looked lively in his short spell at the crease but ultimately his day will have been defined by the chance at long-on off Buttler which went begging. 4

Max O'Dowd (55): The most aggressive of the Dutch batting top order, and the most likely to pick off England for boundaries. Very good against Rashid. 7.5

Musa Ahmed (21): A horrible spill off Buttler when the England keeper was in the 30s cost around 125 runs. That was always going to be an awful lot to make up when it was his turn with the bat. 3.5

Tom Cooper (23): Coming in with the asking rate already touching 12s was a hiding to nothing. Cooper hung around without looking particularly dangerous on his return to the team after a long time away. 5

Bas de Leede (28 & 0-65): Five painful overs with the ball, during which de Leede looked occasionally spooked by the prospect of facing Buttler (nothing wrong with that, most of us would). 5

Scott Edwards (72*): A fine knock from the keeper, batting with the tail to give his side some form of respectability. Kept well among all the chaos. 8

Logan van Beek (6 & 1-82): The pick of the Dutch bowlers, his final over - against a set Liam Livingstone and even-setter-than-set Jos Buttler - was a terrific example of blockhole bowling. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. 6.5

Pieter Seelaar (25 & 2-83): Winning the toss and putting the most destructive white-ball line-up in world cricket in to bat on a road, with short boundaries, on a glorious day might not have been the best of ideas. Took responsibility with the ball when things were going wrong. 5

Shane Snater (4 & 1-99): After dismissing his cousin Jason Roy cheaply, Snater took treatment through the backend of the innings. Tried mixing up his variations, but was picked off by Buttler. 4

Aryan Dutt (0 & 0-55): The Dutch may rethink a three-spinner policy after this outing. Dutt was only given six overs, and struggled against England's absurd hitting ability. 4

Philippe Boissevain (5 & 0-108): A tough ask for a young leg-spinner given the dimensions of the ground and the power of England's batting unit. Kept tossing it up, which is admirable. Also kept getting hit out of the park. 4

ENGLAND

Jason Roy (1): Missed out. Inside edge onto pad onto stumps off Snater. Will be looking to make up for it on Sunday. 3

Phil Salt (122): A first international hundred in quick time, Salt reached three figures inside 27 overs and lay the foundations for the assault which followed later. He will need extraordinary form to keep Jonny Bairstow out of a first-choice team, or relegate Roy, but this was an excellent start. 9

Dawid Malan (125& 1-5): The third player to make centuries in all three international formats for England, Malan played a characteristic innings - slow to start, but quick through the gears. Understood the need to play junior partner to Buttler, despite being completely set. Not bad for only his second List A appearance at No.3. 9

Jos Buttler (162*): Dropped twice in the 30s, Buttler punished the Netherlands with a savage display of clean striking. Smashed 14 sixes, with his innings taking just 70 balls, which is quite frankly absurd. 9.5

Eoin Morgan (0): Out first ball attempting a slog sweep. Cameras picked him up smiling and tucking into lunch as Buttler and Livingstone created carnage. Easy afternoon to be a captain. 3

Liam Livingstone (66*): Missed out on the world record for the fastest ODI half-century after taking five balls to get from 46 to his fifty. The VRA was far too small for the Lancashire batsman. 9

Moeen Ali (DNB & 3-57): Extracted turn from the surface and claimed wickets at regular intervals. 6.5

Sam Curran (DNB & 2-46): Pretty consistent with line and length, picking up two scalps and looking as if he was coasting through proceedings. 6

David Willey (DNB & 2-42): Always tight in the powerplay, and reliable throughout the Dutch innings. 7

Adil Rashid (DNB & 0-59): Not at his best, and found himself picked on the most by the Netherlands line-up. 4

Reece Topley (DNB & 2-46): Continues his excellent season with spells of discipline and incision. 7
