The war of words between England and Australia has intensified ahead of the second Test at Lord's with Jonny Bairstow branded "overweight" following his mistakes at Edgbaston.
There was much scrutiny over the decision to recall Bairstow in favour of specialist keeper Ben Foakes, and despite the Yorkshireman hammering 78 in the first innings, his work with the gloves left a lot to be desired. The 33-year-old botched a number of chances behind the stumps, including one inexplicable missed stumping that let Cameron Green off the hook on the second day.
Bairstow however, will keep his place for the game at the 'home of cricket', which gets underway on Wednesday. And after the controversy over Ollie Robinson's conduct in Birmingham, and Aussie batsman Marnus Labuschagne claiming the tourists won despite being below par, BBC commentator Jim Maxwell has now further fuelled the fire.
