Under-fire Bairstow takes a ripper\ufeff<\/h2>\n

Jonny Bairstow's wicketkeeping has been awful in this Ashes series.<\/p>\n

Dropped catches and missed stumpings have hurt England, leading to Sir Geoffrey Boycott calling for Bairstow's axing ahead of the fourth Test, in a column for the UK Telegraph.<\/p>\n

But the 33-year-old pulled off a stunner of a catch on day one of the Old Trafford Test, diving low and at full stretch to his right and plucking a one-handed catch.<\/p>\n

His phenomenal piece of fielding, which commentator Nasser Hussain described as "a worldy of a catch", sent Mitchell Marsh on his way for 51.\ufeff<\/p>\n
