Jonny Bairstow joins coach Brendon McCullum on illustrious list with brutal hundred

Jonny Bairstow joined England coach Brendan McCullum on an iconic list after producing another memorable innings in the third Test between England and New Zealand at Headingley.

Fresh off his incredible knock of 136 off 92 balls at Trent Bridge, which saw his side chase down a total of 299 on the final day to go 2-0 up in the series, Bairstow's latest effort was every bit as memorable. Especially given he came to the crease with England in dire trouble at 17-3 in response to the tourists' 329 all out.

That became 55-6 before the Yorkshireman turned the tide on his home ground. He hammered 130 not out, including 21 boundaries, having brought up his century in just 95 balls.
