With the match heavily in New Zealand’s favour, and nine needed off three balls, Ben Stokes scampered back for a second run.
Martin Guptill’s throw from the deep struck Stokes’ bat as he dived to make his ground, and the ball deflected to the boundary.
Those two runs, plus the extra four for the boundary, meant that the English were awarded six for the delivery.
Why, then, is it still awarded as extra runs if the ball makes its way to the boundary?
OK, rant somewhat over, but why is there an argument that England should only have been awarded five runs?
