England easily beat the Netherlands by 232 runs in the first ODI, setting a world record of 498 runs, the highest score in ODI cricket once again, thanks to the aggressive batting of Jose Butler.
The Netherlands won the toss and elected to field, but did not know that the decision to invite England to bat first would set a world record.

Both batsmen took an aggressive approach after batting early and put on a 222-run stand for the second wicket.
Seizing the opportunity, Phil Salt scored the first century of his career and was dismissed for 122 off 93 balls with the help of 3 sixes and 14 fours.

When Butler came on the field, England had only 122 balls left in the innings, but the wicket-keeper, known for his aggressive batting, rained sixes and fours, keeping his fame alive.
David Millan at the other end was batting at 89 while Butler came to his aid and he had completed his half century before completing his century.
Butler made a partnership of 184 runs with David Milan in which Milan's share was only 37 runs and all the remaining runs were received by the wicket-keeper batsman by beating the bowlers of the Netherlands.

On the very next ball, England captain Owen Morgan also became the wicket of the seller without opening the account. ۔
Morgan's return to the pavilion was a harbinger of a new storm and Liam Livingston, who came on the wicket, took full advantage of the inexperience of the host bowlers in the last five overs.
