LONDON (Reuters) - Jonny Bairstow's outstanding form in the last two years has not been enough to nail down a full-time place in the England squad but the 27-year-old admits he has come to terms with the situation.

His unbeaten 60 off 35 balls in Wednesday's comprehensive Twenty20 victory over South Africa provided yet more evidence of what he brings to the side as England took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
