BIRMINGHAM, England : A charged-up Jonny Bairstow smashed a rapid 106, his third hundred in four innings, providing the bedrock for England's 284 all out in reply to India's 416 on day three of the rescheduled fifth test at Edgbaston on Sunday.
Jonny Bairstow dashed off another outstanding century, his third in as many Tests and fifth this year, but England were battling the odds after day three of their series decider against India.
England face a sizeable battle to avoid a series defeat to India as they trail by 257 runs in the rescheduled fifth LV= Insurance Test, with the tourists only three down in their second innings at the close of day three at Edgbaston.
In a rain-delayed afternoon in Edgbaston, England managed a total of 284 in their first innings, before limiting to India to 125/3 in day three to trail by 257.
Virat Kohli knows how to get under the skin of the opposition and he tries his best to disturb the concentration of the batters. So it was no surprise that Kohli decided to have a go at Jonny Bairstow as he came out to bat on Day 2 of the ongoing Edgbaston Test. The England batter has been the best performer for the side this summer and he scored centuries against New Zealand at Trent Bridge and Headingley. As Bairstow tried to get going in his innings, Kohli was heard on the stump mic, taking a dig at the England batter.
England star Jonny Bairstow had started slow on Day 2 of the rescheduled 5th Test against India as the hosts went to Stumps at 84/5. On Day 3 too, he started cautiously, as Mohammed Shami zipped the ball around. This prompted Virat Kohli to have a go at him, with the two seen engaging in a feisty exchange. But Kohli's sledging seemed to spur Bairstow on more, as he switched gears and took the attack to the Indian bowlers and went on to score his third Test century in as many matches.
The Jonny Bairstow-Virat Kohli drama was the centre of attention on Day 3 of the ongoing rescheduled 5th Test between England and India at Edgbaston. With Bairstow seemingly struggling, Kohli was seen repeatedly sledging him. Soon after, Bairstow teed off, slamming his century off just 119 deliveries. Kohli, however, had the last laugh, as he took the catch off Mohammed Shami's bowling to dismiss Bairstow for 104. As the England star walked back to the pavillion, Kohli was seen blowing a kiss.
