Jonny Bairstow is in some truly other-worldly form at the moment, so much so that it appears as if he is treating the red-ball game as a T20 match.

Bairstow finished the series by hammering a 44 ball 71* to seal a whitewash for England over New Zealand in the third game. The England limited-overs opener scored a total of 394 runs in the series at an average of 78.80 and an incredible strike rate of over 120.
