Australia star appears to point and laugh at furious England fans in Jonny Bairstow row

The temperature might have been rising in the long room at Lord's on Sunday afternoon but one Australia star saw the funny side as he made his way up the steps.

The Jonny Bairstow dismissal just before lunch at Lord's prompted the sort of scenes never previously associated with the 'home of cricket', as a 32,000 strong crowd relentlessly booed the tourists. And the volatility was extended to the MCC members, with David Warner and Usman Khawaja both involved in heated exchanges after being heckled.

There was even shouts of 'sandpaper' directed at the away side. Those jibes related back to 2018, when Steve Smith and Warner were suspended after the Aussies were found to be using the item to tamper with the ball on their tour of South Africa.
