'Would love to see him open in the Test team'
With his 180 at the MCG, Jason Roy went past team-mate Alex Hales' 171 to claim England's record ODI score. Hales was among those who reacted on Twitter.
What a win and what a knock! Highest ever chase at the MCG and @JasonRoy20 breaking the England ODI highest score! Great start to the series #ENGvAUS

Having played with @JasonRoy20 at Surrey and seeing what he could do out in the middle, doesn't surprise me at all that he's broken a couple of records tonight. Always looks a class above when he gets going. #gun
