Jonny Bairstow was branded 'dozy' and 'naive' for his controversial dismissal on a fiery fifth day of the second Ashes Test at Lord's, but was it fair and within the spirit of the game?
Bairstow was out stumped by Alex Carey, caught wandering out of his crease at the end of a Cameron Green over, with the third umpire upholding Australia's appeal as the ball was not deemed 'dead'.
With the wicket, England slipped to 193-6 in pursuit of their 371-run target and, though Ben Stokes dragged them back into the contest with a mesmerising 155 to evoke memories of Headingley 2019, the hosts ultimately fell 43 runs short and now trail 2-0 in the five-match series.

The MCC's Laws of Cricket state:
20.1.2: The ball shall be considered to be dead when it is clear to the bowler's end umpire that the fielding side and both batters at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play.
As Bairstow ducked under a Green bouncer to end the 52nd over, Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey immediately threw the ball back at the stumps, with Bairstow having not yet left his crease.
When the ball broke the stumps, Bairstow was by this point well out of his ground.
Initially, confusion reigned at Lord's. There was a hush that came over the crowd as the decision was sent upstairs to the third umpire but booing began as replays were shown on the big screen and only grew louder as the dismissal was confirmed.
They continued to echo round the Home of Cricket for the final half an hour of the morning session, interspersed with huge, guttural roars to greet Stokes repeatedly smashing the Australian attack for six.

As the players enter for lunch, Usman Khawaja and David Warner get confronted by spectators in Lord's Long Room.
Former England white-ball captain Eoin Morgan:
"There was a huge sense of frustration [in the crowd] but I can't understand why? It's complete naivety around Bairstow's dismissal.
"The ball is not dead at any stage when Bairstow leaves his crease. He was obviously in his own little bubble - and you cannot do that.
"It's actually really smart from Carey, recognising what is going on - Bairstow living in his own little world - and seeing an opportunity to take a wicket. I don't see it compromising the spirit of the game."
Former England captain, Sir Andrew Strauss:
"Australia are the villains, as far as England fans are concerned - especially [captain] Pat Cummins and his decision not to withdraw that appeal of Bairstow.
Not exactly. Stuart Broad, the next batter out after the dismissal, came to the crease steely-eyed and determined to ruffle a few feathers.

A fired-up Stuart Broad took it to the Australian team after Jonny Bairstow's controversial stumping.
Broad reserved words for Cummins, Marnus Labuschagne and Carey, among others, and continuously (and rather sarcastically) made a point of making his ground at the end of any over he faced to avoid any such Bairstow shenanigans.
One Broad exchange with Carey was even picked up on the stump mic, with Broad telling the Australian wicketkeeper: "That's all you're ever going to be remembered for, that."

England captain Ben Stokes:
"Taking the whole situation into consideration, the first thing to say is it is out," Stokes said in his post-match press conference. "The thing I had to consider when I was out there was the fact it was the last ball of the over.
"I very shortly questioned the umpires whether they had called over; both were making the gesture towards walking to their opposite positions.

Ben Stokes questions Australia's 'spirit of the game' after Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal on day five at Lord's.
"Jonny left his crease to come out and have the conversation in between overs like every batter does and I think if I was fielding captain at the time, I would have put a lot more pressure on the umpires to ask them around what their decision was around the over.
The row even made it to the Houses of Parliament, where Prime Minister Rishi Sunak appeared to criticise Australia's actions in the second Test.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said Mr Sunak, a keen cricket fan who was in attendance at Lord's on day four, agreed with the views of England captain Stokes about the incident.
"The Prime Minister agrees with Ben Stokes," the Prime Minister's official spokesperson told reporters. "He said he simply wouldn't want to win a game in the manner Australia did.

"The game did provide an opportunity to see Ben Stokes at his best and it was an incredible test match and he has confidence England will bounce back at Headingley."
Asked whether Mr Sunak believed Australia's actions were not in keeping with the spirit of cricket, his spokesperson replied: "Yes."
JW: "Worse than a 'Mankad'. Pre-meditated by Carey, knowing he'd seen Bairstow walk out in the same way before; never trying to seek an advantage. The only reason over wasn't called was because Carey fancied the cheap shot. Poor form, poor spirit, not cricket!"
James: "I do think the fact that Carey caught and threw the ball pretty much in one motion makes it fair game. There was no pause or deceitful intent. Bairstow walked out of his crease after Carey threw the ball it happened that quickly. Pretty regulation stumping if you ask me."
Allydlong: "Without doubt out. If the shoe was on the other foot we'd be delighted. Clever from the 'keeper. Against a 'keeper as well! All above board and within the letter of the law. Move on and congratulations to Aussies."
Scott Bradshaw: "Carey did nothing wrong but Cummins should have called it and the wicket shouldn't have stood. Bairstow wasn't seeking any advantage, was just naive. Stinks of unsporting behaviour, rules are rules but there are shades of grey. Poor way to win a game, low blow from the Aussies."
Vikas: "It's out! What are the players (especially Broad!!!) moaning about. Forget the spirit of the game, what about the laws of the game!"
Ethank: "Poor sportsmanship from the Aussies. England wouldn't do that to them. But overall the better team won the match."
