Ashes: Probably Bairstow's Best Test Knock, Says Alastair Cook

By IANS News January 07, 2022 • 18:33 PM View: 1461

Former England captain and opener Alastair Cook has applauded wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow for his unbeaten 103 on day three of the fourth Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday, saying it may have been Bairstow's finest effort in the longest format of the game.

After being 36/4, on day three, Bairstow rescued England by raising 128 for the fifth wicket with Ben Stokes (66) and later shared a stand of 72 for the sixth wicket with Mark Wood (39) before bringing up his seventh Test hundred in the last over of the day as England reached 258/7 at stumps, still trailing Australia by 158 runs.
