A fair shout. The Surrey head coach Michael di Venuto has suggested Roy would be best at 4 while Roy himself says he would prefer to open or come in first wicket down.Would Jason Roy be better coming in at No 3? That is also a trouble spot in the batting line up and a bit of the new ball could be used up. It would still mean finding another opener (Dom Sibley maybe, having a good season although I haven't seen much of him) but would keep Root in his favoured no 4 slot.
