England are back playing the One Day Internationals as they take on the Netherlands for three-match series at Amstelveen, Netherlands. The World Champions haven't played an ODI match in the last 11 months and are only playing against the Dutch for the first time in a bilateral series. 

The Netherlands doesn't have a history of hosting too many international games and the stadiums in the country aren't as developed as one gets in the full member nations. The grounds are covered with trees around making up a picturesque setting and a view to enjoy cricket. 

With the England team traveling with some of the most aggressive batters, it was expected that the ball will travel a long way at some point in time. It happened quite quickly as Dawid Malan smacked the Dutch captain, Pieter Seelar, for a huge six that went into the big trees and bushes just on the boundary of the ground. 

Just like in the amateur level of cricket, when a ball gets lost in the bushes, all the players gather around and try to find it, a similar thing happened in this ODI game as well. The Dutch players and a few officials went inside the bushes to search for the ball.

After searching for the ball for nearly a minute, the fielders finally managed to find the ball, and applause from the ground followed as the game resumed.
