Watch: England vs New Zealand, 3rd Test - Bairstow’s quick-fire 50 gives hosts clean sweep #IndiaNEWS
Jonny Bairstow led England to a clean sweep over World Test Champions New Zealand with a stunning fifty on his Headingley home ground on Monday.Bairstow made a blistering 71 not out, England’s second quickest Test fifty of all time, to follow a majestic 162 that helped revive the hosts from a first-innings collapse after they had slumped to 55-6.Former captain Joe Root, largely reduced to the role of a spectator by Bairstow, was 86 not out after sharing a partnership of 111 with his Yorkshire team-mate, having started the day unbeaten on 55.England reached their target of 296 with just three wickets down to complete a 3-0 series clean sweep in a first campaign under their new leadership duo of captain Ben Stokes and red-ball head coach Brendon McCullum, a former New Zealand skipper.“To walk away with a 3-0 win over the best team in the world is very special,â€? said Stokes at the presentation ceremony. “The team has been phenomenal. For me when I took over this job it was about more than results, it was about changing mindsets towards Test cricket.“I wanted them to have fun and enjoy representing their country.â€
