Netherlands bowl first, David Willey to play for England
Toss Netherlands chose to bowl first vs England
Netherlands won the toss and sent England in to bat in the first of their three ODIs in Amstelveen.
A late team change sees the return of Tom Cooper to the Netherlands middle-order, having played his previous ODI back in 2013. He replaces Teja Nidamanuru following the last-minute submission of his paperwork. For England, David Willey plays ahead of Brydon Carse to complete a three-man left-arm seam attack, alongside Reece Topley and Sam Curran.
“It looks a nice wicket and what we’ve seen from the West Indies series is it’s a good ground to chase on,” he said.
“The wicket looks good and the weather’s set fair so we don’t expect to see [conditions] changing much,” he said. “It’s great to have clarity in the direction we’re going, Motty’s a guy who’s been fantastic around the group and he comes with a great reputation.”
Play was set to begin in warm and fine conditions.
