Ashes 2023: Jonny Bairstow loses wicket in controversial manner against Australia

Day 5 of the 2nd Ashes Test witnessed another controversial moment as England's Jonny Bairstow lost his wicket in a very unusual manner in the 4th innings.

While Bairstow ducked a Cameron Green bouncer, the batter didn't stay in his crease for long and walked towards his batting partner Ben Stokes.

Australia's wicket-keeper Alex Carey threw the ball at the stumps and appealed to the umpire in what was a shocking reaction for the batters.

The third umpire had to signal out in what was a fair but unexpected move by Australia.

The decision from the third umpire was followed by the England fans booing the Australian players as Stokes and Broad continued their chase on the final day of the 2nd Test.
