England's top scorer in the T20 internationals in India Jason Roy feels he is closing on a "big score" he is desperate for having fallen in love with the game again in Australia's Big Bash.

Roy, 30, hit 49 in England's crushing victory in the first game in Ahmedabad and then 46 in the follow-up which India won equally emphatically. He has now scored more than 40 in five of his last nine Twenty20 innings -- a dramatic turnaround from a barren 2020 when he failed to pass 32.

"It hasn't gone quite as planned for the last year," Roy said blaming the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on his life and cutting his playing time. It has been nice to get a few runs, a few out in the middle, but I am still looking for that big score."

"As everyone knows those 40s are great and they look good on the scoreboard but to get those 180s and 190s -- very competitive totals in T20 -- you need somebody going and getting those big scores. So as happy as I am with it there is still a lot to improve on. My job is to not mess about," he added.
