"Some Of The Stuff Coming Out...": Usman Khawaja Breaks Silence On Lord's Long Room Altercation

The second Ashes Test between England and Australia at the Lord's Cricket Ground ended up being a drama-filled contest, especially because of Jonny Bairstow's controversial run-out. As the Australian team returned to the dressing room after the incident, more drama unfolded in the Lord's Long Room where certain members confronted the touring players over the incidents that took place on the field. Usman Khawaja was one of the players who decided to pause and answer some of the allegations that were being levied on his team.

Nathan Lyon Ruled Out Of Remainder Of Ashes, Backs This Youngster As His Replacement

Australian veteran spinner Nathan Lyon has been ruled out of the 2023 Ashes series against England and he has backed 22-year-old Todd Murphy to "leave his footmarks" in the series, saying that "stock ball" is good enough to provide a different challenge to the English batters. Australia on Monday announced changes to their squad for the remainder of the series, with Lyon ruled out due to a "significant calf tear" while fielding on Day 2 at Lord's.

Watch: Did Jonny Bairstow Attempt Alex Carey-Like Dismissal In Lord's Test First?

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.

James Anderson To Be Dropped From 3rd Test? England Great Would Do So

Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels that the team management should rest veteran pacer James Anderson for the third Ashes Test against Australia, which will be played at Headingley from July 6-10. Vaughan's comments came amid Anderson's poor show in the ongoing Ashes series. The 40-year-old has picked just three wickets across four innings in the first two Tests. Vaughan said that Anderson has "lacked that zip" and "needs a little breather". He suggested the management should bring in someone like Mark Wood who has "a little bit of extra pace".

"The Keeper Would Never...": R Ashwin's 'Loud And Clear' Take On Jonny Bairstow's Controversial Run-out

Senior Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has often been subjected to unfair criticism for running out batters at non-striker's end for backing too far, has backed Alex Carey's decision to run out a wandering Jonny Bairstow on the final day of the second Ashes Test. Australia took a 2-0 lead after winning the second Test at the Lord's by 43 runs. However, there was some controversy when Bairstow (10), along with skipper Ben Stokes (155), was about to forge a partnership, ducked a slow bouncer from Cameron Green and ventured out of the crease thinking that the ball was already 'dead'.

"He Is A freak...": Australia Star Praises England Skipper Ben Stokes

Following his side's 43-run win over England in the second Ashes Test on Sunday, star Australian batter Steve Smith called Ben Stokes' innings "an unbelievable player who has done some incredible things." Ben Stokes' incredible knock of 155 runs couldn't secure the win for his side as Australian bowlers bounced and won the 2nd Ashes Test by 43 runs at the Lord's Cricket Ground on Sunday.

Pat Cummins' One-Word Response To "Ben Stokes Would've Withdrawn Appeal" Question

Another Ashes Test ended on a controversial note after England's Jonny Bairstow was run-out in a bizarre manner by Australia's wicket-keeper Alex Carey. Bairstow, thinking the ball was dead, wandered out of his crease and Carey used the moment to shatter the stumps. After the decision was referred to the third umpire, Bairstwo was given out, much to the disappointment of fans and the English team. When Pat Cummins was asked about the incident, in reference to England skipper Ben Stokes saying he would've withdrawn the appeal, the Australia captain gave a one-word response.

"If Shoe Was On The Other Foot...": Ben Stokes' Blunt Take On Jonny Bairstow Run-Out

England captain Ben Stokes insisted he would not have wanted to win a game of cricket with the kind of dismissal that led to Jonny Bairstow's controversial exit during Australia's victory in the second Ashes Test at Lord's. Shortly before lunch on Sunday's final day, Bairstow -- the last of England's recognised batsmen -- fell for 10 in bizarre fashion when he wandered out of his ground after ducking a Cameron Green bouncer and quick-thinking wicketkeeper Alex Carey under-armed the ball onto the stumps.
