Dizzy Roy leads England
Jason Roy overcame a dizzy spell to lead England's charge to a 44-run win under the Duckworth/Lewis method in a rain-marred first one-day international against Pakistan on Wednesday.
Roy's quickfire 65 fired England after Pakistan had made 260 for six.
But following a third and final rain interruption, the umpires called the game off with England 194 for three.
Roy sparked England's chase, but there was a worrying moment when Roy, on 20, needed several minutes' treatment for a dizzy spell.
"It was a case of not having enough sugar on me apparently," Roy told reporters. "I had a headache, felt dizzy, they got the physio and the doctor on, and told me to get some sugar."
