INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
NEW DELHI: An unprecedented fans' rage was seen at the Lord's after Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal in the morning session on Day 5
of the second Ashes Test.Fans booing Australian players, Usman Khawaja exchanging words with one of the members inside the long room were
the repercussion as the Bairstow run out spiced up the final day.The incident unfolded in the 52nd over of the England chase of 371 when

tapped his bat in his crease after each delivery to ensure he didn't depart the same way as Bairstow.A bitter row about the 'spirit of
cricket' was underway, with furious fans chanting "cheats" and England's players clearly angry Australia did not withdraw their appeal on
grounds of fair play.Members in the Lord's Pavilion, the most prestigious stand in the stadium, confronted the Australia team as they walked
through the historic Long Room to get to their dressing room at lunch.Australia batsmen David Warner and Usman Khawaja were seen stopping to
speak to members who were booing before stewards stepped in to usher the players away.The controversy came amid England's bid for a Lord's
