England have beaten Australia in the One Day International in Melbourne.

Roy's innings, which contained 16 fours and five sixes, helped England pass Australia's total of 304-8 in 48.5 overs.

Roy coasted to a fourth England century having successfully overturned an LBW dismissal on 91, with Adam Zampa's ball shown to have struck him outside the line of off-stump.


The 27-year-old shared an England-record third-wicket stand of 221 with Joe Root - Root looking completely over the gastroenteritis that had blighted him on day five of the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney a week ago.

The second game of the five-match series takes place in Brisbane on Friday, with the third then held at Sydney next Sunday.

The series will conclude with games in Adelaide (Friday 26 January) and at the Perth Stadium (Sunday 28 January).
