The Hindu  

England batter Jonny Bairstow’s dismissal caused controversy on the final day of the second Test at Lord’s in the ongoing Ashes series on Sunday. England, chasing a target of 371, was 193 for 5 when Bairstow ducked to avoid a bouncer from Australian pacer Cameron Green on the last ball of the 52nd over. Bairstow, assuming that the over had finished, stepped out of his crease but Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey hit the stumps with an underarm throw after collecting the ball.
