The final day of the second Ashes Test had its fair share of memorable and controversial moments but none so more than when Jonny Bairstow was dismissed in quite controversial fashion by Australia.
In the 52nd over, Bairstow had ducked a bouncer from Cameron Green and he neither checked the fate of the ball nor stood his ground. Instead, he immediately left his crease and wicketkeeper Alex Carey simply tossed the ball into his stumps. Bairstow was confused and the umpires sent the decision upstairs, where he was ruled to have been run out.
Bairstow left shaking his head after his brain fade, English skipper Ben Stokes expressed his anger to the on-field umpires and Lord’s came alive with chants. One was, “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, cheat, cheat, cheat.”

Stuart Broad who came in to replace Bairstow had some choice words for Carey in the middle. “That’s all you’ll ever be remembered for. That,” the stump mic caught the veteran England seamer saying to Carey.
Meanwhile, Australia won the match by 43 runs to take a 2-0 lead in the five-test series, despite a superb rearguard innings of 155 from Stokes.
Stokes appeared fired up after the controversial stumping of team mate Bairstow and began to smash sixes and fours around the ground. But he eventually skied a catch to Carey, and Australia’s fast bowlers wrapped up England’s last three wickets to seal the victory.
