Chasing Holland's mark of 133 for five victory,Stuart Broad's side - who had won the toss and opted to chase - mustered a risible 88 all out, just eight more than their worst-ever score in the format.

NUMBERS SHAME
2 - England’s record against the Dutch is now P2 L2.
88 - England equalled their second-worst ever T20 total, 88 against West Indies. Their lowest total was 80 against India in 2012.
45 - Holland’s 45-run win was their largest in T20s. It was also the largest between an associate team and a full member.
2 - Holland have only ever beaten two Test-playing nations in limited overs cricket: Bangladesh and England.

It was a repeat of the 2009 embarrassment at Lord's, but this was arguably an even more abject display against a side blown away for 39 by Sri Lanka but gradually building to this unlikely act of giant-killing ever since.
