*Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

Very silly quirk of the rule and that catch would of been given out 9/10 but technically its not out and Starc should of known better. Whatever, he'll probably mop up the tail tomorrow and finish with a 6-fer.

Btw why is Cummins sporting a shiner? Did he sport a novelty beard near Warner during last tests celebrations?

I’ve not seen much of this Test prior to today but didn’t he get hit by a ball when fielding?

Also just seen Lyon trying to run a single......wtf?? What was the reaction here at the time? Gotta applaud the bravery but seriously??? Were those extra 15 runs really worth that? Was horrible to watch.

That starc catch is 100% not out imo. There is no way the catch can be considered "complete" when you're falling to the ground. If that was actually a legitimate way of completing a catch every coach would be telling kids to incorporate that into their catching technique on falling/tumbling catches to ensure the ball doesn't "pop out".

Yeah exactly. Sometimes the ball will come out when the elbow hits the ground in particular. The law says you need to be in control of the ball and your movement before it constitutes a catch - if you're falling then you're definitely not in full control of your own movement yet.

I'm 100% on #TeamSpark on the ones where a part of the ball may have technically hit the grass but only in between two fingers that are under the ball (due to its roundness), but Starc has dropped that - mainly just because he's an idiot.
