Signs off by saying that fans have been unbelievable and they should make a habit of coming here.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
The chase started on the same note as everyone expected. Philip Salt and Jason Roy straight away went into the top gear and punished the Dutch bowlers mercilessly. It was a disastrous bowling plan from the Netherlands in Powerplay 1. They were stubborn to bowl short and the English openers feasted. Paul van Meekeren picked up two wickets in one over to peg England back a wee bit, but then Jos Buttler arrived to partner Jason Roy, and together the duo completed the demolition job with an unbeaten 163-run stand.
During Netherlands' batting innings, everyone wanted them to score above 300 to challenge the English batting. They did have the platform but in the last 10 overs, their innings crash-landed. Their three batters scored 50-plus but none stayed for long to make their knocks count. The English bowlers sized up the conditions quite well, didn't go for magic deliveries and stuck to disciplined lines to reap rewards. David Willey picked a four-fer and impressed both with the new ball and towards the death.
England cruised to another remarkable win to complete a whitewash, and by doing so, they have jumped to the top in the 2020-23 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League standings. Once again their ruthless batting was too hot to handle for the Dutch boys as they overhauled the target without breaking a sweat. 3-0 it is, as was expected at the start of this tour. Not sure how much the Netherlands will gain from these hammerings that they are getting quite consistently.

FOUR! There it is, ODI century number 10 for Jason Roy! He missed out on a world-record day in the first ODI of this series but made an aggressive fifty in the second and now finishes the series with a hundred. The crowd is on its feet and rightly so, it has been a stupendous knock from the Englishman. Full delivery on off, Roy clobbers it straight down the ground, no chance for the fielder in the deep to cut it off, running across from long on.

One run. Buttler just pushes this length ball on middle to long on to give his good friend Roy a chance to get to his century.
8 to win, two balls left in the over. What will Buttler do? His partner needs 3 for his century.

On a length, on middle. Roy tucks it behind square on the leg side for a single.

FOUR! He moves onto 96 now! Bas de Leede keeps it a tad short, outside off. Roy makes a bit of room and slams it through the extra cover region for a boundary.

WIDE! Goes short but drifts it down the leg side. Roy tries to pull it but misses.
