Roy on Saturday limped off the field with an injury during England’s last Group 1 game against South Africa.

Chasing the target of 190 against South Africa in Sharjah, Roy pulled up a few strides into a single, struggling with an apparent issue with his left leg in the fifth over. While he limped through the run, he could go no further.
He was in evident agony in the middle, unable to walk on his own, and seemed emotional when he was helped off the field by the physio and his teammates. He was replaced in the middle by Moeen Ali.

This is England’s second big injury concern of the tournament after bowler Tymal Mills was ruled out of the campaign with a thigh strain. If Roy gets ruled out, England will have no other option but to open with Jos Butler and Jonny Bairstow in the knockouts.

It’s not that Bairstow is not a good fit, but a change in his batting order would mean a few more tinkering in other’s batting orders and eventually instability. Roy had looked in good touch and was complementing Jos Butler really well.
