Watch this brilliant fielding by Jason Roy, running out Kusal Perera from backward point, throwing on the turn and striking the stumps with a direct hit

Sri Lanka batsman Kusal Perera must be sick of the sight of Jason Roy!

The England man caught him out with a stunning diving take at backward point in the first ODI at Trent Bridge - and then ran him out with a cracking pick-up and throw from the same position in the second at Edgbaston.

Roy grabbed Dinesh Chandimal's cut behind square off David Willey with his left hand, before quickly transferring the ball to his right and shattering the stumps with Perera way short of his ground.

It wasn't the only impressive effort in the field from the Surrey star, as Roy - who would go on to smite 112 not out from 95 balls with the bat while sharing an England ODI record stand of 256 with Alex Hales (133no) - also running out Dinesh Chandimal.

Also, Sky Sports columnist, Willey, took a stunning diving catch to dismiss Seekkuge Prasanna - enjoying a laugh with Hales afterwards, having not known who's catch it was!
