The England and Wales cricket Board has spoken to Jonny Bairstow about allegations of a late-night altercation with Australia opener Cameron Bancroft.

Reports in Australia have claimed the England wicketkeeper headbutted Bancroft in a bar in Perth four weeks ago.

A brief ECB statement confirmed on Sunday night that management staff have asked Bairstow about the alleged incident and will revisit the matter once the first Test is concluded.
