5 Players who did well for England in the Investec series

#2. Jonny Bairstow

Keeper-bastman Bairstow did well with bat and at the stumps

England’s wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow had a better series than most of his accomplished contemporaries scoring 330 runs in a low-scoring series at an average of 41.25. That he accumulated those runs, which included three fifties, batting at number seven shows that he can actually do a much better job if given a promotion in the middle order.

Bairstow often scored his runs at a good pace and his innings at Old Trafford showed glimpses of someone who is currently enjoying his time on the field.

At Manchester his 99 runs in the first innings came at a swift strike rate of 68, which is a tremendous effort considering he kept losing partners on the end all the while.
