With England cruising on 170/1, Ben Stokes (on 31) thought he could take it easy but he only survived by the skin of his bat or perhaps thanks to the interpretation of footage by the third umpire.
Kuldeep Yadav’s direct hit from the deep almost caught out the left-hander, who was lazy to complete the second run, perhaps looking at who the fielder was.
England won the match by six wickets. Find out how it unfolded here.
The throw was really good. And after many, many replays the third umpire decided that the batsman was safe. The replays were not really conclusive (though some might argue otherwise) and perhaps it just came down to benefit of the doubt. The TV umpire for the match is Anil Chaudhary.
A wicket there would have really helped India as Stokes went on a ridiculous spree of big-hitting not long after.
Stokes innings:
50 off 40 balls (2 x 4s, 4 x 6s)
99 off 52 balls (4 x 4s, 10 x 6s)
But that run-out call was mighty close. It might not have made a difference ultimately on the night, however Stokes was a lucky man. What do you reckon? Was that out?
