News about Jonny Bairstow

The three-part series will centre mostly around Australia's explosive tour of England, in which the tourists successfully defended the Ashes , albeit in rather controversial fashion. Cummins and wicketkeeper Alex Carey made themselves public enemy No 1 following the stumping of Jonny Bairstow during the second Test match at Lord's in London.

LAWRENCE BOOTH: Jofra Archer has been given the green light to go to the World Cup after being included in England's 15-man provisional squad both for that tournament and the four-match T20 series against Pakistan that precedes it. Archer, whose last international appearance came on March 14, 2023, in Bangladesh, has recovered from a long-term injury to his right elbow, and will use the Pakistan series to gear up for England's title defence in the Caribbean, starting on June 4 against Scotland in Barbados. Jonny Bairstow is also named in the 15, along with Ben Duckett - England's sole top-order left-hander.

RICHARD GIBSON: Jonny Bairstow's return to form - on the eve of England naming their squad to defend the Twenty20 World Cup - could not have been better timed. Bairstow is set to feature alongside fast bowler Jofra Archer on Monday in the 15-man squad chosen to travel to the Caribbean next month, following a blistering 108 not out off 48 balls for Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League on Friday. That astonishing blitz against the Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens - nine sixes on his return to the side after being axed a fortnight ago - emphasised the enduring ability of Bairstow to play match-defining innings.

Jonny Bairstow made his case for inclusion in England's T20 World Cup squad with a blistering 108 not out off 48 balls in the IPL at Eden Gardens. His top-order rival Phil Salt had hammered 75 off 37 balls as Kolkata Knight Riders reached 261 for six, but the previously out-of-form Bairstow responded with nine sixes as Punjab Kings completed a record T20 chase with eight wickets and eight balls to spare.  England name their squad on Tuesday.

Punjab Kings face the Mumbai Indians with both teams bidding for a much needed victory after tough starts to the Indian Premier League season. The two teams have won two and lost four of their IPL matches so far this season, with both heading into the match off the back of a defeat. Punjab Kings suffered a three wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals on Saturday, while the Mumbai Indians were beaten by 20 runs by the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.

Following England's loss in a 4-1 Test series, the team is licking their wounds. Bazball's heroes suffered to a humiliating defeat within three days to put an end to their tour of India on a sour note, losing the fifth Test by an innings and 64 runs. It was a significant setback for Ben and Brendan McCullum's regime, and there are several questions to answer. Nasser Hussain is on hand to answer your questions.

England crashed to a humiliating loss in three days to put an end to their tour of India on the lowest possible note when they were bundled out for 195. In his 100th Test, Ravichandran Ashwin took five wickets for 77 runs as England was defeated by an innings and 64 runs, not even being able to muster a convincing fight for the thousands of supporters who had come to this most picturesque part of India for a 'bucket-list' Test. Mail Sport's Paul Newman evaluates the squad's results during the team's disappointing tour of India.

RICHARD GIBSON: England made a gruesome day one in their fifth Test after only making 218 in Dharamshala. England recovered from 137 for two to 218 all out in 57.4 overs after winning consolation in a series they trail 3-1. England lost Jonny Bairstow in his 100th Test, Joe Root and Ben Stokes in eight wickets, triggering a tumultuous afternoon session, ending in eight wickets for eight runs in a tumultuous afternoon session.

NASSER HUSSAIN: Forget any discussion about Bazball's merits; what England has lacked during this series in India is a ruthless streak to get through tough times. They haven't been able to prevent first-innings disasters from happening. It's simple as that. They're expensive, and it's cost them dear. I'm afraid they saved the worst until last, because they went from 100 for one to 183 for eight in the afternoon, which was the most frustrating part of the tour for me.

PAUL NEWMAN IN DHARAMSHALA: Thousands of England supporters who participated in this 'bucket-list' Test were ideally encouraged to enjoy the stunning views of the snow-capped Himalayan mountains. For the alternative, it was safer to watch a complete horror film. This was the most frustrating day of a tour so far, but England had promised a lot but not delivered maddeningly little. Worse than when they lost to a historic loss in Rajkot and even worse than when they threw it all away in Ranchi.

It's not clear if the Dalai Lama is a student of Bazball or prefers a more traditional Test approach, but if England needs a little bit of divine inspiration in their effort to end a long tour on a high note, they have come to the right place. The England squad at Dharamshala's most popular resident and well-known cricket fan welcomed him to his temple in the dramatic mountains, where talk may or may not have focused on Jonny Bairstow's chances of scoring a big score in his 100th Test. Ben Stokes isn't the type of guy who gets excited about little talk with His Holiness - maybe the Dalai Lama is more excited about the prospect of meeting the England captain - but he was happier enthusing about where his team is enthused about the final Test on Tuesday.

DAVID LLOYD: Jonny Bairstow will do something special to celebrate his birthday in England's Hundred Club this week. The 100th Test in Dharamshala may be a dead rubber against India, but Jonny's account would be regarded as a major achievement, not just for himself but also for his families. I know his mum Janet is a natural performer because she served as an cricket administrator at Yorkshire for a long time, when my wife Diana held a similar role at Lancashire.

ASK NASSER: After losing by 434 runs to India in the third Test in Rajkot, England was left to lick their wounds. India's elving victory put them 2-1 up in the series of two games to play, but England captain Ben Stokes was unconcerned about their Bazball strategy.

The visitors suffered to a humiliating loss and now trail 2-1 in the series, as England cricket supporters blasted their third Test loss against India on Sunday as 'catastrophic.' England's dismal first innings gave India a huge advantage as they stormed into a commanding lead that demanded a run chase of 557 to seal an impressive triumph. They lost by 434 runs.

STUART BROAD: England has never been in this situation, where the game is stretched out so early - under the guidance of Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes. Not that they will linger long on Saturday's events. The team chat in this particular England environment is always about how you can influence the next passage of play in a positive manner. Naturally, when you're on a scoreboard predicting your opponents are 322 runs ahead, two wickets down, you must respond quickly, but the only comparable game I can recall during this two-year period was against India at Edgbaston.

It was the 32-year-old Test wicketkeeper's first 50-over game since being dropped from the Australian team at last year's World Cup in India, and he had a day to remember. In the Bulls' total of 218 at Karen Rolton Oval, Adelaide on Wednesday, five of Carey's catches were shot off the bowling of player of the match Jordan Buckingham, who finished with 6-41.

RICHARD GIBSON: After England's humiliating loss in Hyderabad, England lost by 106 runs in Visakhapatnam to see India square the five-Test series. In the first innings, Jasprit Bumrah broke through the England batting order, taking six for 45, while Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a stunning 209 runs, with Shubman Gill adding another wicket in the second innings. Zak Crawley's in-form opener was undeniably the most impressive of the tourists with his 76 and 73 leading the way in both innings, while captain Ben Stokes was his only teammate to reach 40 in the entire match.

PAUL NEWMAN IN VISAKHAPATNAM: England fell short of a second miracle in a row this week after being bowled out for 292 runs on Monday, losing the second Test by 106 runs. After pulling off an amazing victory in the first Test, England got to a target of 399 and make history on the fourth day. However, even though they did have times when they were able to imagine escaping the near impossible, they were unable to repeat their first Test magic and left the series level at 1-1 with three others participating.

On Sunday, India was stunned on home soil by Stokes' side, losing a Test match for the first time in history, despite taking a first innings lead of 100 runs for the first time in history. Tom Hartley's magic bowling began a second innings loss, but visitors were left with a last innings stand between Siraj and Bumrah.

RICHARD GIBSON AND PAUL NEWMAN IN HYDERABAD: Ollie Pope spearheaded a defiant England reaction on the first Test in India on day three, putting on a remarkably strong 148 to leave his team 126 ahead. On Saturday morning, the tourists took quick wickets to complete the Indian tail, with Joe Root removing Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah in successive deliveries before England returned to the crease. England lost Root, Jonny Bairstow, and Ben Stokes as a team lost only 18 runs, while Pope put together a superb innings to put the visitors in a more favourable mood going into day four.

PAUL NEWMAN IN HYDERABAD: At times when it seemed that England's faith in Ollie Pope was going to be unrewarded, and that he was never going to become the next great batsman. Even on the first day of this massive series, Pope was the least likely of the England batsmen to find a way to combat outstanding Indian bowlers in their own environment. Yes, it was Pope's comeback after suffering his second major shoulder injury in his career cut short his Ashes at Lord's last summer.

NASSER HUSSAIN: ROM the West Indies tour, Jimmy Anderson, Ollie Robinson, and Jack Leach, all-format cricketers, haven't played much since last summer. One of the benefits of this is that you will really push your workout, fitness, and diet to its limits.England are giving themselves the best chance to start with fresh minds, and that's all you can ask of any squad. My fitness, diet, and gym were all directly related to my elevated stress levels exacerbated by running, or a lack of them, as well as decisions I had made during my career.

PAUL OUT HYDERABAD: Although the possibility of Bazball colliding with the Indian juggernaut was not delectable enough, this eagerly awaited first Test became just a little more tense on Tuesday. Obviously, Shoaib Bashir's decision to return home from the UAE to try to sort out a mess that is in the danger of ruining his Cinderella-like journey to the Test ball game added to England's determination to upset all logical odds here on Thursday.
