England vs Netherlands 1st ODI: England batter Jos Buttler came back to his brutal best on Friday (June 17), smashing the second-fastest ton for his side in the one-day internationals. Not to forget, he also holds the record for fastest and third-fastest ton in the ODIs for England. He reached the hundred vs Netherlands in just 47 balls. Earlier, Buttler has smashed hundred in just 46 balls vs Pakistan in 2015, his fastest. In 2019, he smashed another hundred vs Pakistan in 2019, it came off 50 balls which is third-fastest hundred for England.
Dawid Malan too hit a century, scoring 125 off 109 balls that included 9 fours and 3 sixes. After completing his century he became only the second English player to have a hundred in all international formats. The interesting fact is that the first player to do so is Buttler again.
A fitting way to finish our innings from @liaml4893! _
Just two runs short of scoring 500 _

At the end of the 50 overs, England posted a recod ODI total going past their previous best of 481/6 vs Australia in 2018. They posted 498/4 from the 50 overs.
Not to forgert the knock from Liam Livingstone. Coming in to bat at number 6 after Netherlands picked uo two wickets on back-to-back deliveries in the death overs, he smashed 66 off just 22 balls. His innings included 6 sixes and 6 fours each and was one of the factors why England could reach 498/4 in the end. However, as he consumed more balls in the death overs, it only meant that Buttler did not have enough balls in his hand to reach his first-ever double hundred, and become the first England batter to overcome the landmark. There were just 2 failures for England on the day, as Jason Roy and captain Eoin Morgan for just 1 and 0 respectively. Earlier, Malan had sent a six into the bushes around the cricket ground and the players, broadcaster as well as the groundsmen got busy searching for the ball with the game coming to a halt.
