Australia’s actions in Ashes Test not in the spirit of cricket, says Rishi Sunak

Spokesperson says prime minister agrees with Ben Stokes about Jonny Bairstow's dismissal at Lord's

Rishi Sunak has accused Australia of breaking the spirit of cricket over the controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow at Lord's.

England's Bairstow was stumped in bizarre circumstances on a tense final day in the second Test, with the Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey throwing down the stumps after the batter ducked the final ball of the over and set off to talk to partner Ben Stokes in the apparent belief the over had ended.
