Ok, I think that’s enough beard-stroking from me. An out-of-this-world win for England, which in the space of four Tests has almost become run-of-the-mill. Their highest run-chase, a fourth century in five innings for Bairstow, an eleventh Test century since December 2019 from Joe Root. A fourth Test win for Stokes in four Tests since taking over as England captain.

A drink, to Baz-ball, and all who sail in her. Bye!

Jonny Bairstow's last five innings: 136 (92), 162 (157), 71* (44), 106 (140), 114* (145)

589 runs from 578 balls at an average of 196

Let’s throw things forward, shall we, with the eternal question: “A thought for Jos Butler,” taps Robert Mitchell, “who surely would have benefited as much as anyone from the new regime?”

For sure, but will Stokes change this team? I think Jos might have enough on his plate with the white-ball captaincy.
