It was a good day for England cricketer Jason Roy on Saturday at Cardiff.
Roy got a century for his country in England‘s World Cup match against Bangladesh.

He made it to a hundred with a four. But as the ball passed over the boundary, Roy clearly wasn’t looking where he was going and collided with umpire Joel Wilson, taking him off his feet.
