The fans at western terrace was even pictured with dozens of shoes in the air, shouting “shoes off if you hate Carey.”
“Cheat, cheat, cheat, cheat,” they yelled at Carey after every ball. He was peppered with the short pitch stuff. He was stunned with a bouncer to the helmet during his innings.

“He’s definitely given it a smooch… behave yourself Alex Carey!” former England captain Eoin Morgan joked in commentary.
The Australian wicketkeeper stumped Jonny Bairstow at Lord’s when he thought the ball was dead – and the tours have since been slammed for disrespecting the ‘spirit of the game.’
Carey was dropped twice Joe Root on 4 and 5, Joe Root but the Australian wicketkeeper didn’t lasted long.
Wood cleaned up Australia’s tail, inside 61 overs. From 240-4 before tea, the last six wickets fell for 23 runs.

Wood grabbed the last four wickets, a spell of 4-5 from 16 balls. He walked off holding the ball aloft after his first five-for in a home test.
In his first test of the series, his slowest ball was 88 mph and fastest 96 mph. His average of 90.4 mph was the quickest across an innings in England since Australia’s Brett Lee in 2005.
