With the bat also, he scored just five runs off 18 balls. But, Cameron Green took his wicket and Jonny Bairstow remained not out on 99 runs. However, after such a knock, Bairstow took a dig at his critics. While speaking to Sky Sports' Ian Ward, he said: "Everyone thinks that I play better when people go at me, it gets a bit tiresome to be honest with you. I've played a lot of cricket now and to be keep being told that you're rubbish. Well, if I was that was that rubbish. I wouldn't have played 94 games … I've been happy ."

"There's been a couple of interesting dismissals during the series … but it's only a couple games ago that I got 70-odd, so it is what it is. That's part and parcel of the way that I want to play my cricket. I want to go out and enjoy it. I want to go out and entertain. People will have comments on the way that I bat, they always have done. That'll carry on, but you can leave them to their comments, and I'll just keep on doing what I'll do in the middle," he further added.
