It's Bairstow who should be embarrassed. The ball doesn't go dead when the keeper catches it, and a professional cricketer (and wicket keeper as well) like Bairstow should know it.

Possibly. But if Lyon knew he's done for the series he possibly demanded to bat. I suppose we dont know if he was asked to bat or was adamant himself.
I have no time for anyone who tries those sneaky run outs or to run the non striker out. It makes me mad at any level of cricket. Everyone who has ever played cricket knows when someone is actually trying to run a single.
Do we now need the umpire to declare the ball is dead every single delivery?
I like Cummins but he should not be appealing there and I reckon he will probably accept he made an error.

Well he won't do it again!
In the circumstances I think the Aussie captain might have withdrawn the appeal.
We don't want all that unseemly booing and chanting at Lord's.
The minute the ball goes through to a keeper, on ball 6, unless they are attempting a bye, its the over
Well it seems as though the officials don't agree with you, sorry.
No one is saying it isn't out by the rules, but it's embarrassing and pathetic on the Aussies part
Besides the controversy, Australia were the better team despite losing the toss and their spinner. England pretty much lost this game on the first day.
Just a shame it wasn’t as clean as it should have been.

Sport isn't just about the letter of the law. If teams are going to try a run out like this then why not every other ball too? Players leave their ground during the over regularly at all levels of cricket.
The starc catch was to the letter of the law as well despite it obviously being a clean catch. Both incidents don't sit right with me btw.
I think the skipper has to be the leader there, tell Lyons to sit back.
The stumping would actually bother me more if it was my team than the oppo if that makes sense. I'm not that fussed about it right now but maybe Cummins will look back and think there are more important messages than win at all costs.

Just a few more runs (50ish) in both first innings would have won or the very least drawn these matches. With that fight back it feels like they've thrown both.
As you say bowling was poor on the first day of this match. Fielding poor in the first match.

Wicketkeepers often have a little shy at the stumps after collecting the ball. Usually the batsmen are not brain dead and stay in the crease until the ball is really dead
Well he just confirmed he's happy with what happened so unfortunately I think he's made a big error.
England need to respond in kind and remove the bails every time an Australian batsmen leaves their crease mid over at Headingley.
If they think that's proper cricket then fine. Play in the exact same manner.
That's against the spinners though which is different as they are a lot closer for them.
