Cricket Australia demand investigation after Usman Khawaja confrontation at Lord's

Australian batsman Usman Khawaja was led away by security in the Lord's Long Room during the fiery second Ashes Test, with the country's cricket board demanding an investigation after he was confronted by a spectator in the member's area.

Khawaja became embroiled in a spat at lunch shortly after Jonny Bairstow had been controversially dismissed.

Chasing 371 to win and level the series, England were 193 for five when Bairstow ducked under a bouncer from Cameron Green, tapped the crease and began to walk down to prod the pitch. However, Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey sent an under-arm throw in after catching the ball, leaping for joy as he hit the stumps and the visitors proceeded with a deeply divisive appeal as Bairstow was given out stumped.
