Yet, the man who terrorised New Zealand, with two brutal hundreds, could hardly lay bat on ball as Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah put him through a trial by fire late on Day Two as he went back unbeaten on 12 off 47 balls to fight another day.
He would have hoped that a brighter forecast with the sun out on Day Three at Edgbaston on Sunday, would have made life a lot easier. But he didn’t find any favours from both Bumrah and Shami. Shami was relentless with his line and cut Bairstow into half at least a dozen times. He also used the away-going delivery smartly to induce the false shot.
He remained scoreless for 20 deliveries as all the talk of Bazball went out of the window. Then, Virat Kohli, standing at slip, made the mistake that Andrew Flintoff did in the World T20 match at Durban against India. Awaken a sleeping giant. Flintoff ’s angry exchange with Yuvraj Singh pumped him up to smash Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over.
