Hi there! Welcome to Episode 205 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. England are 2-0 down in the Ashes 2023 series against Australia. If the Ben Stokes-led outfit suffers another defeat in the series, they will become the first English team in more than 20 years to lose a home Ashes series. Australia survived an astonishing century from Ben Stokes, ignited by the controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow, to take a 43-run victory at Lord's and hold a 2-0 lead in the Ashes. What was a hard-fought but reasonably sedate final day, erupted into controversy and raw emotion when Bairstow wandered out of his crease before over had been called having avoided a bouncer from Cameron Green in the 52nd over with Alex Carey and then throwing down the stumps. Australia appealed and the third umpire upheld the decision with Bairstow well out of his ground. In this episode, we will talk about everything that transpired in that test match! On the podcast today to discuss that thriller of a test match, we have Dhanush Lavanya.
