Jonny Bairstow might t have h a great Ashes series with bat but he definitely me an impact behind stumps twice in fifth and final Test match at Oval.  Jonny Bairstow h tricked Steve Smith while latter was batting. It so happened that when Steve Smith was returning back to striker's end, Jonny Bairstow pretended to collect ball. Seeing this, Smith put in a full-length dive and got back to crease safely. Unfortunately, it was a needless dive fromSmith as throw was never me at keeper's end and in fact, was me at bowler's end. It was only after world's top-ranked Test batsman got back on his feet that he realised that he h been deceived by Jonny Bairstow. Bairstow would once again go on to trick former Aussie skipper while he was fielding at slips. However, he me a vital contribution behind stumps as well.
