XtraTime Web Desk: England’s Jason Roy did a fantastic performance today as he smashed a stunning century against Bangladesh to give the hosts a big upper hand against Bangladesh in Cardiff on Saturday. But there was a comedy of errors as Roy reached his hundred. Roy was facing Mustafizur Rahman in the 27th over and on the fifth delivery, he pulled a short ball to the deep square leg fence and set off for a single but a misfield allowed him get to the landmark in 92 deliveries. Roy was so busy looking at the fielder that he didn't see umpire Joel Wilson at the other end and crashed into him, knocking the umpire down flat on the ground. Roy went past former captain Graham Gooch on the list of most hundreds in ODIs for England with his 9th century. He is now joint fourth on the list with Kevin Pietersen and Jos Buttler. Joe Root (15), Marcus Trescothick (12) and Eoin Morgan (11) lead the list.
