Under-pressure Jason Roy fired England to a 132 run win over Bangladesh with an outstanding century ahead of the World Cup, with Jos Buttler, Sam Curran and Adil Rashid also starring as the visitors wrapped up a series victory.
Having averaged just 23.91 in ODIs since Buttler took over the captaincy from Eoin Morgan, Roy's spot at the top of the order was looking increasingly shaky for the World Cup with the return of Jonny Bairstow looming large and Dawid Malan outlining his credentials with an excellent match winning hundred in the first ODI against Bangladesh.
However, Roy bounced back in the second ODI as he scored 132 off 124 balls, battling through a difficult early period against left-arm spinners Shakib Al Hasan and Taijul Islam to find some fluency and smash 19 boundaries on his way to a 12th ODI ton. "It wasn't the brute force we might usually associate with Jason Roy," former England bowler Steven Finn said on Sky Sports.
