    from BBC: Jason Roy has not opened in the first innings of a first class match since 2013.
    And that is very much the point. 4 slips and a gully as opposed to no slips. It's a game of patience not "see ball hit ball".

    This shows just how short of options we have at the top of the order in the longer version of the game. 
    I am one of Roy's biggest fan's and in limited overs cricket he is one of the top openers in the world. 
    Not sure he will make it as a test opening batsman though. 
    Time will tell I suppose.

    We are a bit "pot committed" with Roy and he does deserve his chance. However, it is down to Root's stubbornness is the reason that they have had to give him this opportunity.

    At least Denly didn't review it. I can think of at least one English batsman who would have done so.

    It might take a time for Roy to master "the leave"
    He's not the only one!

    Nice of England to enact their very own tribute to Boris Johnson

    He might end up scoring more than the rest of the team put together!

    It is comforting to know that Starc and Cummins won't be quite as threatening as Murtagh and Adair
