Looking back at Jonny Bairstow's matchwinning 41 off 21 balls on international debut, that helped England win the final ODI against India, Jonathan Agnew on BBC Sport writes that Bairstow looked absolutely as if he belonged. To come out and play like that in his first innings was remarkable.
I thought the way India's Rahul Dravid shook him by the hand suggested even he thought that was pretty special and I'm sure that was what he was saying to Bairstow at the end.
He has to go on the winter tours - I don't think you could have a more impressive shop window that that. To go out and play like that in such a tense situation with such maturity, collness and authority was absolutely brilliant.
Jonny Bairstow stands out for inclusion in England's one-day team for India, writes Vic Marks in the Observer.
