Kevin Pietersen has urged England to have faith in Jason Roy amid the opener's form slump in white-ball cricket.

Roy has managed just 197 runs across 11 England games, with no fifties, while he began his Hundred campaign with the Oval Invincibles with an ignominous first-ball duck followed by 10 against Welsh Fire.
