England captain Ben Stokes says he would not want to win with such a contentious dismissal as Jonny Bairstow’s in the second Ashes Test.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
The controversial stumping threatened to overshadow Australia’s 43-run win against the hosts at Lord’s.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Believing the ball to be dead, Bairstow wandered out of his ground as wicketkeeper Alex Carey threw down the stumps and was given out.<\/span><\/p>\n
Stokes said he would have withdrawn the appeal in that situation.<\/span><\/p>\n
“Jonny was in his crease, then out of his crease to come down and have the chat,” Stokes, who hit an incredible 155 as England threatened an unlikely victory, told Test Match Special. <\/span><\/p>\n
“I am not disputing the fact it is out because it is out.<\/span><\/p>\n
“Would I want to win a game in that manner? The answer for me is no.”<\/span><\/p>\n
The dismissal, which left England needing 178 runs with four wickets left, created a hostile atmosphere at Lord’s – with the Australia team, in particular captain Pat Cummins, booed relentlessly by the crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n
As the players left for lunch, Usman Khawaja and David Warner were confronted by Lord’s members in the Long Room, for which the Marylebone Cricket Club later apologised. Three members were subsequently suspended.<\/span><\/p>\n
