Watch: Jonny Bairstow dismissed run-out in an unlucky controversial way vs Australia at Lord's

Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal on Day 5 has sparked a debate on social media.

Controversy arose during the final day of the second Test at Lord's in the ongoing Ashes series when Jonny Bairstow, England's middle-order batter, was dismissed. The incident occurred on Sunday as England, attempting to chase a target of 371, stood at 193 for 5. Bairstow found himself ducking to evade a bouncer delivered by Australian pacer Cameron Green on the last ball of the over.

Jonny Bairstow, under the assumption that the over had concluded, moved out of his crease when Australian wicket-keeper Alex Carey skillfully hit the stumwps with an underarm throw, having gathered the ball. The decision was then referred to the third umpire, who ultimately judged Bairstow to be out.

Battle for Victory: England Requires 128 Runs, Australia Needs 4 Wickets

At Lunch, the match hangs in the balance with England and Australia locked in a tight battle. England, starting the fifth day at 114-4 while chasing a target of 371, made significant progress in the first session. They scored 129 runs and lost two wickets in 26 overs. The entry of Ben Stokes completely altered the game's dynamics, injecting fresh energy and momentum for England.

Stokes has the opportunity to replicate his heroic innings from Headingley 2019, but he will need support from the lower-order batsmen to sustain the momentum. Australia, on the other hand, needs just four more wickets to secure victory, while England need 128 runs for a win. The result remains uncertain, adding to the excitement and intensity of the contest.
