England opener Jason Roy completed his maiden World Cup century against Bangladesh in a very unusual fashion. While running towards the non-striker’s end, Roy flattened the on-field umpire Joel Wilson at the Sophia Gardens Cricket Ground in Cardiff.
Thankfully, no damage was done Wilson was up on his feet and Roy finally got the c🃏hance to raise his bat to the home crowd.
The incident had the Engl🎀and dressing room incl��uding all-rounder Ben Stokes and captain Eoin Morgan burst into laughter.

Roy scored a 121-ball 153 and powered England to post 386 for six, leaving Bangladesh needing to surpass Ireland’s 329-7 against England in 2011, the highest score by any team batting second to win a World Cup match.
Despite Shakib Al Hasan’s 121, the Bangladesh Tigers were never in the hunt and they were eventually dismissed for 280 with seven balls to spare.
