BIRMINGHAM (United Kingdom): England's Jonny Bairstow continued his brilliant year in Test cricket when he scored 106 against India at Edgbaston on Sunday.
It was the 32-year-old's third hundred in successive Tests following scores of 136 and 162 against New Zealand, as well as his fifth century at this level of 2022.
His form as a specialist batsman has justified the team management decision to relieve Bairstow of the wicketkeeper's gloves.
