Top 5 batting performances in England's ODI history

#4 Jason Roy - 162 (118) against Sri Lanka, 2016

Jason Roy made a mockery of a seemingly stiff run-chase at the Oval

Following a botched campaign in the 2015 World Cup, England were intent on revamping their white-ball game. The selectors ousted accumulators and injected batsmen capable of taking the bull by its horns. One of those was Jason Roy. After honing his skills to meet the demands of international cricket, the opener did not take too long to unleash himself on the global arena. The bilateral series on home soil against Sri Lanka in the 2016 summer saw him make giant strides.

After scoring a sizzling century in the second match at Edgbaston, Roy ran rampant against the hapless visitors at the Oval. With England facing a stern target of 308 runs from just 42 overs, he showed intent right from the outset and tore the Sri Lankan bowling attack into pieces. The Durban-born batsman smashed 13 boundaries and 3 sixes in his 118-ball 162. The hosts cruised to the target with six wickets and 11 balls remaining at their disposal.
