'You see Johnny do it all the time,' Cummins said. England skipper Ben Stokes said the while Bairstow's dismissal was 'out', he would not have wanted to win a game 'with something like that happening'. 'If I was fielding captain I would have had a real think about the spirit of the game,' Stokes said. Asked about a moment earlier in the match when Bairstow had attempted his own stumping in the same fashion, Stokes said whether or not it was the end of the over makes a 'massive difference'.
