Bairstow, the replacement for Kevin Pietersen, knew that Pietersen’s supporters would regard him as a pale imitation of the real thing. His Test experience was only three matches old and they had not gone awfully well. But against a formidable South Africa attack with the series in a critical phase he steeled himself to make an unbeaten 72 from 137 balls that kept England in contention. (Photo by Reuters)
