"Can't Imagine Having Beer...": Brendon McCullum On England's Controversial Lord's Test Defeat

The second Ashes Test between England and Australia ended in the favour of the visitors on Sunday by 43 runs. The Pat Cummins-led side took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series after England were bundled out for 327 in the chase of 371. However, this thrilling encounter will always be remembered for the bizarre run-out of Jonny Bairstow by Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey, which sparked a controversy. Bairstow, thinking the ball was dead, wandered out of his crease and Carey used his awareness and dislodged the stumps.

Opinions are divided over the much-talked-about Jonny Bairstow dismissal from Day 5 of the Lord's Test. While many feel that the England keeper was deservedly given out as he wandered out of his crease recklessly, others feel Australia should've given him a warning and not stump him on the first instance. However, a video has emerged on Twitter suggesting Carey might not have been the first one to attempt such a dismissal in the match but the man in the spotlight, Bairstow himself.
