[Watch] Jonny Bairstow's flop show in India continues, Ravindra Jadeja catches him lbw on Day 4 of India vs England 3rd Test
Jonny Bairstow's flop show in India continued. In the second innings of India vs England third Test in Rajkot on Sunday (February 18), he was dismissed for just four runs after a duck in the first innings.
The right-handed batter is yet to score a fifty in six innings of the ongoing five-match Test series. He has returned with scores of 37,10, 25, 26, 0, and 4 so far.
The dismissal came during the 12th over of England’s second innings. Ravindra Jadeja bowled a full-length ball on off-stump and Bairstow leaned right across his stumps, looking to sweep.
He failed to clear his front leg and the ball went on to hit him on the back thigh in front of the stumps. Bairstow walked back in disappointment and didn’t even consider looking at non-striker Joe Root for review.

With the dismissal, the hosts reduced England to 28/4 in a mammoth 557-run chase. At the time of writing, the visitors were 50/5 in the 21st over of their innings.
