The 'Spirit of Cricket' debate took the center stage after Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey controversially stumped Jonny Bairstow on Day 5 of the 2nd Ashes Test at Lord's last week. Bairstow ducked a Cameron Green bouncer and left his crease to have a chat with England captain Ben Stokes, who was standing on the non-striker's end. However, Carey threw the ball into the stumps, leaving everyone, including Bairstow, in disbelief. The decision was referred to the third umpire and the decision went against Bairstow and England.

England seemed to be in control with Zak Crawley off to a good start, Australia captain Pat Cummins had other ideas as he struck twice in the final session to dismiss Ben Duckett and Harry Brook, who was promoted up the order in the absence of the injured Ollie Pope.

I am retiring from international cricket from this moment," said Iqbal.
