• Batsman missed defeats by Sri Lanka and Australia
• Roy in contention for Ashes place, says Trevor Bayliss
Jason Roy is more than a talisman. When he scores runs England tend to win, which is why they are so delighted he is back and 100% fit – almost. Roy feared the worst when his hamstring rebelled on 14 June against West Indies. But in two vital games on his return to the side he has hit a couple of 60s and is looking for more. Like the rest of the squad he hopes he has two more matches to play in this tournament.
