Notably, this led to Stokes and Broad bashing 50 runs in the last five overs before Lunch. The former scored 46 runs in just 21 balls during this phase. However, after the break was taken, the Aussies faced alleged abuse from the member of Lord's. In a video uploaded on Sky Sports Cricket, Usman Khawaja faced the ire of the members.

He retaliated but was pulled out by the stewards. Also, David Warner got involved but was also pulled out.
