Smith scored his century in the hardest batting conditions of the match (swing and seam on offer, overcast conditions) to set up the first innings lead and thus the win. The pitch and conditions on day five had the ball doing nothing when Stokes was tonking it

Bairstow does it himself- it’s not an uncommon occurence in England either

It’s only a controversy if you (mistakenly) think it was a run out. As a stumping there is no controversy to see at all with the dismissal

“…the Bairstow ‘run-out’.” The whole incident is controversial if you view it as a run-out. However it wasn’t a run-out and it’s incorrect to characterise it as such. It was a stumping, plain and simple even if it was off a fast bowler. Viewed as that its actually far more straight forward, and just Bairstow being careless with his wicket (so well in tune with Bazball from what I can see!)
Northern View: Cummins should have spared Bairstow, McGrath owes an apology, and end of an era for England
