Your support makes all the difference.England batsman Jason Roy has passed a concussion test after being hit in the nets ahead of the third Ashes contest at Headingley.
The 29-year-old was struck by a throw-down from former international Marcus Trescothick, who is working with the team in a temporary capacity, during practice on Tuesday.
Roy was assessed after impact and was able to continue batting, but also required a follow-up check on the eve of the match to determine any delayed symptoms.
Australia batsman Steve Smith will miss the test at Headingley after being diagnosed with delayed-onset concussion after being hit in the neck by a delivery from Jofra Archer during the second test at Lord's.
Australia leads the five-match series 1-0.
