'Emotional hundred': Jason Roy reveals baby daughter was hospitalised when he scored century
Story highlights
Roy explained how he had scored the century following an overnight visit to the hospital with his baby daughter
England defeated Pakistan in the fourth one-day international by three wickets on Friday at Trent Bridge. Now, England go in the last match of the series with an unassailable 3-0 lead.
Jason Roy smashed 114 and Ben Stokes finished on 71 not out as England chased down a target of 341 with three deliveries to spare.
However, Roy was at a loss to explain how he had scored the century following an overnight visit to the hospital with his baby daughter.
"It was a very emotional hundred. I didn't see it coming," Roy told BBC Radio's Test Match Special.
"I had a bit of a rough morning so this one is a special one for me and my family," added Roy, who returned to hospital after a three-wicket win, although his daughter's condition is not believed to be serious.
"It was my little one. We had to take her to hospital at 1:30 in the morning. I stayed there until 8:30 am, came back for a couple of hours sleep and got to the ground just before warm-up and cracked on."
