Piers Morgan slams Australia for Jonny Bairstow celebrations in fresh Ashes feud

Piers Morgan has renewed his objection to Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal during Day Five of the second Ashes test.

England star Bairstow left his crease thinking the over was finished, only to see his bails knocked off by Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey. The dismissal was then confirmed by the third umpire, with Bairstow forced to return to the pavilion.
