Flintoff reveals mental battle after car crash

England's Jonny Bairstow continued his brilliant year in Test cricket when he scored 106 against India at Edgbaston on Sunday.

It was the 32-year-old's third hundred in successive Tests following scores of 136 and 162 against New Zealand, as well as his fifth century at this level of 2022.

His form as a specialist batsman has justified the team management decision to relieve Bairstow of the wicketkeeper's gloves.
