Bairstow just holed out at mid-on when we were 84-4 chasing four hundred and plenty.

Hopefully cast off any aspersions that he is a bit of a luxury in the team

If you want to look at luxuries in that side, I'd say a guy with 100+ wickets and 2000+ runs (usually batting with the tail) isn't where I'd start.

I can think of four players who need to go and none of them is Ali. I also think young Stokes might want to find a few performances pretty damn quickly.

I would swap Stokes and Moeen in the batting order for a start

Definitely. Although I'm not sure I wouldn't put Moeen up where Bairstow is.
