England v Australia - 3rd Specsavers Ashes Test: Day Three

Prior to Ashes 2019, Jason Roy had a remarkable summer having helped his side in winning their first-ever World Cup. The Surrey man was instrumental in the famous triumph and his deeds in the limited-overs earned him a callup to the Test squad.

Ardent followers of English Cricket hoped that Jason Roy would carry his World Cup form to The Ashes but sadly the Englishman has failed to produce prosperous results at the top.

In six innings, Roy has scored a meagre 57 runs, which hardly justifies his spot in the side. Often known as a free-flowing dynamic opener in the limited-overs format, Roy has found a hard time dealing with the moving red ball at the top. His struggle against the new ball has been pretty evident which is why Joe Denly is set to replace him at the top.

Jason Roy's switch to No. 4 will come as a sigh of relief for the English cricket fans, who've grown impatient with Roy's form at the top.

The upcoming Test match will certainly play a huge role in Roy's Test career whose place in the starting XI hangs by a thread.
