Nathan Lyon has revealed he was forced to intervene on crutches to cool tensions between England and Australia players in the aftermath of Jonny Bairstow's controversial Lord's dismissal.
Bairstow was stumped by Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey while dawdling out of his crease during the Second Test, the England batter wrongly assuming that the ball had been called dead. The incident prompted a huge backlash, with Australia booed off at lunch and heckled by MCC members as they passed through the Long Room.
