Jonny Bairstow comes up with a cheeky reply over his ankle injury
Jonny Bairstow was also asked about his ankle injury to which he came up with a cheeky reply. Bairstow said to the reporters that it was the first time that they had asked this question to him.

It’d be like you guys taking a three-year sabbatical and then coming back and writing to the same level - may be even three years of a bit of touch typing without a delete button and then see how that then pops us
