It was another great day for England and for opener Jason Roy, who scored his 9th one-day international hundred in the third match of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 against Bangladesh at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff.

A moment that was captured by all left the crowd laughing and also the English dressing room shocked. The moment Roy reached the milestone century in just 92 balls, all were in hysterical laughter because he had knocked down the umpire in the process of reaching his ton.

According to News18 reports, this hilarious incident happened in the 27th over of the England innings, as Mustafizur Rahman dropped the the fifth ball of the over short as Roy flashed into position and pulled it in the direction of deep square leg. As Roy and Joe Root rushed for a single, the fielder in the deep misjudged the ball and it resulted in a boundary. Everyone in the stadium had their eyes on the ball, including the umpire as well as Roy. The result was that Roy crashed into umpire Joel Wilson, as he tried to celebrate.

Both Roy and his partner Joe Root along with Bangladesh fielders quickly came to check Wilson but thankfully the umpire was fine, reports Times Now.

The English opener has been in sensational form and started his ICC World Cup 2019 campaign with a superb 54-run knock against South Africa.
