Jonny Bairstow was dropped from the England Test team this week, and has now had a teammate admit his Lord’s stumping was fair enough.

Jonny Bairstow was dropped from the England Test team this week, and has now had his former captain Joe Root concede there was every chance that he would have done the same thing

, Root steps up to say that if Bairstow had not wandered so quickly out of his crease after ducking a Cameron Green bouncer, there would have been no dismissal. “Initially I was quite angry, but I think when you’re involved in the game it’s very difficult to put yourself in the other position,” Root told the ECB. “So I’d like to say I would have dealt with it differently, but I could very easily have done the same thing.

“Look I can’t wait for tomorrow,” Bairstow is shown as saying. “We’ve been a part of some special things over the last 18 months. And for me, it just feels like it could potentially be one of those amazing days, and someone just stand up and put their name on the board, make a contribution, stick your chest out, front up and we’ll be fine.
