Jonny Bairstow scored an unbeaten knock of 109 runs in 2016 with 17 fours and stabilize the English innings. The partnership of Bairstow and Ben Foakes allowed England to make their way back again in the game.

This is not the first time that Jonny Bairstow has saved the English team from collapse. He did the same in Ashes 2021-22 against Australia in the Sydney Test. He scored 113 runs against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
