Jonny Bairstow was the standout player for England on day one of the third Investec Test at Lords, hitting a punchy unbeaten 107 as the hosts closed on 279-6 against Sri Lanka at Lords. The Yorkshireman described his first Test century at HQ - and third in his last eight innings - as amazing and something every boy dreams of during a post-innings chat with Ian Ward.Bairstow also discussed in depth how shedding a technical mind-set and focussing on being relaxed at the crease has helped him boost his form. Weve picked Bairstow as our player of the day after his century on the first day of the third Test against Sri Lanka. The right-hander is averaging over 106 in his six Tests in 2016 at a strike rate of 69.35.I was overanalysing things and getting far too technical, said Bairstow. Now, though, I am standing relaxed at the crease, watching the ball, and letting the flow of the bat go through the ball.I used to play the ball slightly further in front of me and push at the ball, but now I am playing it underneath my eye line a bit later.Its been a journey - Ive gone away, worked on things, re-evaluated and trusted myself. If I get left out now Ive gone about it the way I want to go about it, not how other people want to go about it.
