Didn't see his innings but love Bairstow, easily my favourite cricketer. He's a lovely fella too.

He's a lovely fella too.Was discussed earlier Chris, but there is going to be an ongoing debate about where he should bat for England. I think the headache is going to come when Woakes comes back and everyone is fully fit. A 6,7,8,9 of Stokes, Bairstow, Ali and Woakes looks a very strong unit, but it would mean that only two out of Wood, Roland-Jines, Broad and Anderson could be picked. We are still going to need a five after this series, so moving Bairstow up to there and moving Ali and Woakes to 7 and 8 could be an option, but will we really need 5 seamers?
I can see Broad and Anderson getting one test off each in the Windies series. Not just to give them a break but also to give TRJ some more games.Is there anyone with express pace in the county game that could be looked at with a view to taking them to Aus ?Mills would be great but unfortunately that's not going to be possible.
Meanwhile, SA could be bowling themselves back into the game.
