Bizarre run-out settles England's Oval ODI win over Sri Lanka

England claimed a decisive victory in the third ODI against Sri Lanka following a chaotic run-out review during the fifteenth over of the chase. Pavan Rathnayake was initially dismissed by a direct throw from Jofra Archer, though confusion reigned when the decision swung back and forth over a four-minute sequence involving officials Adrian Holdstock, Rob White, and Wayne Knights.

The review centered on whether wicketkeeper Jordan Cox dislodged the bails prior to the ball striking the woodwork, leading television umpire Holdstock to temporarily signal not out before ultimately reversing it. The dismissal ultimately stood correctly under specific MCC clauses because Archer's throw completely uprooted the stump from the ground.
