    Morgan in great form at the moment, but what is the real talking point is Stokes given out for obstructing the field

    and the law
    Law 37 (obstructing the field) states: "Either batsman is out Obstructing the field if he wilfully attempts to obstruct or distract the fielding side by word or action. In particular, but not solely, it shall be regarded as obstruction and either batsman will be out Obstructing the field if while the ball is in play and after the striker has completed the act of playing the ball, as defined in Law 33.1, he wilfully strikes the ball with (i) a hand not holding the bat, unless this is in order to avoid injury. See also Law 33.2 (Not out Handled the ball). (ii) any other part of his person or with his bat. See also Law 34 (Hit the ball twice). "

    Can't quite believe the reaction to this. he basically stuck out his hand and stopped himself being run out.

    It seemed like a harsh decision when you look at it in real time. I don't think Stokes could really have been thinking about protecting his stumps in the split second he had to react.

    Its the extension of the arm away from the body that does for him tbh, and he can have no complaints really. Shocking of course that skys expert panel disagreed with the decision, ahem. When you see it in real time it happens so fast you can feel for him, but moving his hand away from himself, toward the ball to block it is a justifiable wicket in my eyes.

    Flip he must have some reactions if that was his intention

    I see England are struggling a bit at 247/4 at 43 overs - seemed to start brightly but runs hard to come by at present.

    Convincing win for the Aussies today to win the one day series,they looked on top all match. Fair play to them after a very long time on the road. Morgan is OK now apparently after getting hit on the head.
