    Jimmy 'JDawg' Dawson: Take a bow @JasonRoy20 simply outrageously sensational stunning batting.

  2. Eng 282-4

    In comes Jos Buttler to see this chase out. England need 27 off 25 balls with six wickets remaining. It should be straightforward.

  3. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    "An incredible innings. He's destructive - he just takes bowlers apart. The camera lights are going."

  4. Dan Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    "He bats his pads with frustration - but it has been quite some innings. 162 wonderful runs."

    WICKET

    Roy b Pradeep 162 (Eng 281-4)

    Oh Jase, no! Six runs short of breaking a significant record for England, Roy takes one chance too many with a big step to leg, an ugly swing and a miss to allow Pradeep to clean him up.

  6. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    "Is it too early to get a gate at The Oval named after Jason Roy?"

  7. Highest ODI scores for England

  8. Eng 276-3 (32 needed off 30 balls)

    What can Prasanna do for Sri Lanka? He can get smashed through extra cover for a one-bounce four by Bairstow, that's what. The English pair then milk him for another six through smart play and good running. They are finding runs all over this pitch. Only wickets save Sri Lanka.

  11. Eng 266-3

    I suppose you can't get 150 in an ODI without giving a few chances. Jason Roy slices a Pradeep ball over the short third man and picks up a fortunate boundary. Roy is 158 - the highest ODI score at the Oval. Records tumbling. Seven-an-over required from the remaining six.

  12. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Comedian & BBC Test Match Special statistician

    "There's only been eight dot balls in the last nine overs."

  13. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    "It's very intelligent batting from Roy; he's got a real rounded game now."

  14. Eng 257-3 (Target 308)

    167 not out is the highest score by an England player in ODIs. Robin Smith against Australia in 1993. England lost that game.

    If Roy is there at the end he will beat that and England will win. He takes a nasty blow on the foot from Maharoof but it would take a fleet of traction engines to drag him off this pitch.

  15. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Comedian & BBC Test Match Special statistician

    "That is the sixth score of 150 or more by an England batsman in an ODI. Rob Smith had one, David Gower and Andrew Strauss had three."

  16. Alec Stewart
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "Jason Roy has been the man of the day. He has made batting so easy. Front foot, back foot, power, placement - it's all been there."

  17. 150 runs

    150 for Roy

    Eng 253-3

    Another of those little punches to leg and Roy has his 150. Brilliant. Just a small bat raise from the opener this time. He is in the zone with a job to do.

  19. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    "With wickets in hand and your big guns there, this should be a piece of cake."

    "That pull was hit as hard as any ball has been hit today. A magnificent shot from Roy - goodness me."
