Bairstow left nearly as soon as it passed him.

And Carey threw it very quickly, so clearly it's out.

To be clear: it's not cheating. it's just out. https://t.co/LJ0H6kXdzj

Dozzy cricket from Bairstow.

"20.1.2 The ball shall be considered to be dead when it is clear to the bowler’s end umpire that the fielding side and both batters at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play."

Given that Carey immediately went for a run-out it's pretty clear he didn't regard it as dead.

Have to stay in your crease till the ball is dead. That's all. Australia would have not liked it too if it had happened with them. https://t.co/nQB0EUYeSC

Laws of the game good enough yesterday, good enough today.
Sorry chaps.

Almost inexplicably, Jonny Bairstow has been run out.

After ducking under the last ball of the over, Bairstow walks out of his crease to talk to Stokes. The ball is still live, Carey underarms at the stumps, and that's that!

Not great from Bairstow.

Sounds like a there are lot of idiots at Lord's that don't know the laws of cricket.

The thing is it wasn’t even some clever piece of wicket-keeping from Alex Carey but also sums up how silly it was from Jonny Bairstow to wander out of his crease that quickly #Ashes

It wasn't a dead ball. As a batter you have to make sure and dozing away from your crease isn't the way to do it.

It was good cricket from Carey and dopey from Jonny.

Brilliant ?
one bloke with elite awareness the other lost in space. Before you English start crying @SteveWorrall6 Carey let the ball go before Bairstow had moved, but he anticipated he would. Umpire had not called over – Smart ?
Attention to detail

That’s horrendous from Australia.

Jonny Bairstow clearly marks his crease with his back foot.

Shocking display of sportsmanship.

Cannot believe Australia continued with their appeal.

— Christy Doran (@ChristypDoran) July 2, 2023

That shouldn’t be a run-out, and I’m Australian.#Ashes

"It's left a bad taste in the mouth. They should have withdrawn the appeal."

Dreadful scenes. Not what you want to see. Against the spirit of the game.

A ‘controversial’ scenario in which the Australian cricket team are absolutely right.

Awful.

— Nick Miller (@NickMiller79) July 2, 2023

It was a predetermined plan to run out / stump Bairstow. I appreciate views will differ but for me it’s like mankading someone without giving a warning. Personally, I don’t like it.
