England's Jason Roy reacts in pain after an injury. Roy was close to tears after retiring hurt on 20 and was on crutches after the game and could miss the rest of the tournament. Pace bowler Tymal Mills' tournament was ended by a thigh strain suffered against Sri Lanka on Monday. England now have a very depleted team and could struggle to advance to the final without the two key players.
