Brendon McCullum has said the Australia side will have to live with the controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow and believes England have been “galvanised” by an incident that will sour relations with their Ashes opponents.
Coming from a head coach whose side sit 2-0 down going into the third Test starting on Thursday, such fighting talk is unlikely to send shockwaves through the touring side – even if playing at Headingley, in Bairstow’s home county of Yorkshire, means the hostile atmosphere on the fifth day at Lord’s is likely to continue.
