**Controversial Bairstow Stumping Incident Rocks Ashes Test**

– On Day 5 of the Lord’s Test, England and Australia were battling it out for the coveted Ashes urn.
– Jonny Bairstow, England’s wicket-keeper batter, was stumped by Alex Carey, causing a major controversy.
– Bairstow ducked below a half-tracker ball from Cameron Green, thinking it was dead and walked out of his crease.
– However, Carey noticed Bairstow’s movement and threw the ball at the stumps, getting him out.
– The third umpire reviewed the incident and Bairstow was adjudged stumped out.
– The MCC rules state that the ball is considered dead only when both teams have ceased to regard it as in play.
– Despite the controversy, the decision was deemed fair as Bairstow had left his crease while the ball was still in play.
– The incident led to a heated altercation between MCC members and Australian cricketers in the Long Room.
– The MCC apologized to the Australian team and suspended three members involved in the altercation.
– Fans at Lord’s booed the Australian team and chanted ‘same old Aussies, always cheating.’
– England players, including Bairstow and Stuart Broad, expressed their anger and frustration over the incident.
– Australian captain Pat Cummins defended the appeal, stating that Bairstow often leaves his crease.
– Usman Khawaja criticized the behavior of some MCC members, while England captain Ben Stokes questioned the spirit of the game.
– Coaches Brendon McCullum and Andrew McDonald shared contrasting views on the incident.
– The third Ashes Test will take place in Leeds on July 6, with England desperate for a win to keep their series hopes alive.
