Alec Stewart says Jason Roy showed his 'hot streak' after he fell victim to a poor umpiring decision in the World Cup semi-final against Australia

Jason Roy has been fined 30 per cent of his match fee for his reaction to his dismissal against Australia and will not be banned for England's World Cup final against New Zealand.

The opener top scored for England with 85 in their chase of 224 and looked well set for a century before being dismissed by Pat Cummins.

Roy was given out caught behind, but replays clearly showed he had not touched the ball with bat or glove.
