While Bairstow has managed only 102 runs in six innings, Root’s bat has produced a mere 77 runs from the three Tests so far, begging questions on the duo’s place in the side for the fourth Test.
The question arises whether Bairstow mistakenly believed the ball was dead as he departed for a score of 10 runs off 22 balls.
South African Pacer Kagiso Rabada, Australian left-handed opener Usman Khwaja and English batsman Jonny Bairstow are nominated by the ICC.
The successful chase of 378 is also the highest they have chased ever in Test cricket.
Jonny Bairstow, who is the part of the 55-member squad called for training, stated he was disappointed at the time when he was replaced behind the stumps.
"It's an honour to be asked to captain Welsh Fire in the first year of The Hundred," said Smith.
England chased down South Africa's daunting 222 for 6 with five balls to spare to seal series 2-1 at SuperSport Park in Centurion.
The Englishmen came from behind in every one of the three series, fighting back to win the test series 3-1, to draw the ODI series 1-1, and to win the T20 series 2-1.
South Africa produced a disciplined bowling performance, making scoring difficult on a pitch which always offered something to the bowlers with some sideways movement and uneven bounce.
