With much debate surrounding Mitchell Starc's controversial catch on Saturday, here what the MCC rule book says.

Law 33.2.2.1 - the ball is held in the hand or hands of a fielder, even if the hand holding the ball is touching the ground, or is hugged to the body, or lodges in the external protective equipment worn by a fielder, or lodges accidentally in a fielder’s clothing.

The play at Lord's on Day 5 for the 2nd Ashes 2023 Tes match will begin shortly. 

The average fourth-innings score at the Lord's cricket ground is 200 runs whereas chasing a total of more than 250 runs is considered to be very difficult. 

The English cricket team will be needing 257 more runs to win on Day 5 of the second Ashes 2023 Test against Australia at Lord's. The hosts are currently 114/4 and would look forward to chasing down the given target and leveling the five-match series at 1-1. However, if the hosts are able to chase down the given target of 371, they would also break 39-year-old jinx. West Indies has the record of chasing the highest total of Lord's which was 342 in 1984 against England. If the hosts chase down 371 on the fifth day against Australia then this would certainly be the highest chase at the Lord's cricket ground. 

The weather in London on July 2, 2023, is expected to be overcast, however there are no chances of rain throughout the day. The maximum temperature is expected to 22-degree celsius.

The Australian cricket team will be looking forward to make a 2-0 lead in the five-match series and will aim to take the remaining 6 English wickets on Day 5 of the second Test.
