Liam Livingstone

Living scored a quickfire 66 in the first ODI and was out for just four in the second. He will bat at number five and look to score big in the final overs. Along with Roy, Buttler and Malan, he forms the batting core of England in their current white-ball squad.

Jos Buttler (WK)

Buttler did not get an opportunity to bat in the second ODI after scoring 162 runs in the first ODI. If England are looking to breach the 500-run mark batting first, Buttler should ideally open the batting.

Moeen Ali

Sam Curran

Curran should come into the playing Xi in place of Brydon Carse. He can bat and bowl and is a brilliant fielder to boost. He gives the team a better balance in the given conditions than Carse as well.

David Willey

Willey will bat at number nine in the playing XI. He is a good swing bowler that England have in their arsenal in the conditions. He can also bat anywhere in the XI given his flexibility as a player.

Reece Topley

Topley can be the third seamer in England playing XI. He is also the third left-arm seamer in the XI. Given the opposition and the conditions, he is a good selection.

Adil Rashid

Rashid completes England’s strongest-looking playing XI for the third and final OSDI against the Netherlands. If the batters play to their potential they can breach the 500-mark and their bowlers can defend it.
