FOUR! There it is, ODI century number 10 for Jason Roy! He missed out on a world-record day in the first ODI of this series but made an aggressive fifty in the second and now finishes the series with a hundred. The crowd is on its feet and rightly so, it has been a stupendous knock from the Englishman. Full delivery on off, Roy clobbers it straight down the ground, no chance for the fielder in the deep to cut it off, running across from long on.
