Can Pat Cummins’ men pull off a miracle in Manchester? 9News
The Yorkshireman smacked 10 fours and four sixes, displaying the simplicity and raw power that have made him a daunting limited-overs batsman and a fearsome hitter in England's Test XI.He reached his half-century with possibly the most stunning shot of his innings, swatting a short-arm jab for six over deep square leg off the bowling of Mitchell Starc., cheering and banging on the glass windows of England's dressing room.
No man has struck a faster Test ton at the Manchester venue than Sir Ian Botham, who belted an 86-ball century in the 1981 Ashes, but Bairstow took just 81 deliveries to make his 99.He became just the second player to make 99 not out in an Ashes Test; Steve Waugh was left not out on 99 in Perth in the 1994-95 summer when his twin brother Mark, who was running for Craig McDermott, was run out.
The English hurtled along at 5.49 runs per over, making particularly light work of Cummins , Marsh and Head .Unless rain washes out the match, the English and Australians will be heading to The Oval locked at 2-2.
