After a tough winter, a 45-ball IPL ton is a reminder of how destructive Jonny Bairstow can be.

If all are at their best, England will have a very dangerous top 4 for the T20 World Cup: Buttler, Salt, Jacks, Bairstow

Lord’s, Edgbaston and the Oval all keen to host an India-Pakistan neutral Test, if bilateral cricket relations between the countries resume.
