Scott Edwards hit 78 as the Netherlands set England a target of 236 runs off 41 overs to win the second one-day international in Amstelveen and secure a series win.
David Willey and Adil Rashid took two wickets apiece to restrict the hosts to 235 for seven in a match shortened because morning rain had seeped through the covers onto the outfield.
Having again won the toss, Netherlands skipper Edwards didn't repeat Pieter Seelar's error of inserting England, who smashed a world record 498 in the opening ODI of the series amid a frenzy of big-hitting on Friday.

Openers Vikramijt Singh and Max O'Dowd were watchful at first as left-armers David Willey and Reece Topley quickly located a back of a length rhythm to negate the chance of big hits to the short straight boundaries.
