Jason Roy hit a superb century as England cruised to an eight-wicket victory over Holland to complete a series whitewash in the third and final one-day international in Amstelveen.

Roy finished unbeaten on 101 and Jos Buttler ended 86 not out as England chased down 245 with just shy of 20 overs left to wrap up a 3-0 win.

David Willey had earlier taken four wickets as England restricted the Netherlands to a score of 244.

The target never looked enough to trouble a batting line-up which scored two shy of 500 in the first ODI last Friday.

England were without their captain Eoin Morgan as a precautionary measure due to a minor groin injury, putting on hold the debate about his form after consecutive ducks in the previous two matches.

Jos Buttler stood in as skipper but surprisingly declined the opportunity to bat first after winning the toss despite stating his ambition that England are aiming for a score of 500 in a 50-over match.
