England's Ben Stokes dismissed in bizarre fashion
Ben Stokes was dismissed in the 2nd ODI against Australia for "obstructing the field".
The all-rounder, who made 10, was given out when Mitchell Starc threw the ball at him and it struck him on the hand.
Umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Tim Robinson consulted TV umpire Joel Wilson, who gave the batsman out, deeming that Stokes had "wilfully" obstructed the field.
Australia captain Steve Smith agreed with the controversial dismissal, saying: "It was blatantly out. The ball wasn't going to hit him, Stokes was out of his crease, he put his arm out and got in the way of the ball."
