In the ongoing test series against New Zealand, Jonny Bairstow has already scored two centuries. Bairstow scored 136 runs in the 2nd innings of the Trent Bridge test to register a historic win for the English side. In the 3rd test at the Headingley in Leeds, Jonny Bairstow again became the savior of the English side.
