Good evening. Rishi Sunak has said that Australia’s controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow in the second Ashes Test at Lord’s on Sunday was “not in the spirit” of the game. We have the latest on the row, including what Sir Geoffrey Boycott had to say about it.

Fans and players were furious when Bairstow was stumped by Alex Carey, the Australia wicketkeeper, while wandering out of his crease believing that the over was complete and the ball was therefore dead. 

Australia had an opportunity to withdraw their appeal but did not do so, and Bairstow was therefore given out by the third umpire in accordance with the letter of the law. Following the backlash, Australian newspapers have hit out at the “puce-faced MCC snobs” who “should learn their own rules”. 

Sir Geoffrey Boycott writes that Australia should issue a public apology over the stumping – if they are man enough.
