England captain Alastair Cook has confirmed Jonny Bairstow will replace the injured Kevin Pietersen in the final Test against New Zealand at Eden Park.
It was announced on Wednesday that Pietersen would fly home for further tests on a knee injury, which is set to sideline him for up to eight weeks. And although Cook is disappointed to see Pietersen leave the tour, he is confident Bairstow can rise to the occasion. “Obviously, it’s a blow when you lose one of your senior batters and a guy who’s performed consistently well for
us over a number of years,” he said. “He’s a great player, and will be missed but it gives an opportunity to Jonny Bairstow coming in. “He’s probably been a little unlucky not to be selected earlier, through circumstance this winter, so he has a great opportunity to try to end this winter well.” Although Bairstow has been part of England’s touring squads to India and New Zealand, he has had little playing time. His last appearance came in England’s series-clinching Twenty20 victory over the Kiwis in Wellington in February.
“In an ideal situation, you’d like a little bit more match practice behind you,” Cook said. “But you can’t choose sometimes, and I know he’s just very excited about being given the opportunity - and he won’t be looking at that as a negative. He can go out there very fresh, and raring to go. “He’s desperately keen to be involved. He’s been on all the winter tours. “He only got one knock in the Tests in India. Coming back after playing really well against South Africa at Lord’s, to then miss out because of the balance of the team was probably a tough call to make.”
plete their opening rounds before thunderstorms once again forced an early abandonment at the tournament in the afternoon. Home player S. Murthy and France’s Victor Dubuisson were two shots off the pace
at five-under after signing for rounds of 67, while Charl Schwartzel - second favourite behind Donald at the start of the week - was one of seven men at four-under with the South African having played 11 holes on Thursday.

Aphibarnrat Leads After Day One
Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat leads after a weather-affected first day of the Maybank Malaysian Open, as pre-favourite tournament Luke Donald toiled to a twoover 74.
In-form Aphibarnrat, who finished fourth at last week’s Avantha Masters, carded a total of eight birdies as he made his way to the top of the leaderboard with a sevenunder-par 65. That left him a stroke clear of Italy’s Edoardo Molinari, Dane Anders Hansen and France’s Gregory Bourdy, while Scotland’s Scott Jamieson had also reached sixunder having played only ten holes of his first round. Indeed, half of the 156man had field failed to com-
