WICKET !!!!

Anderson goes for 8 !!

Gotta feel for Taylor, He deserved a century

Initially Taylor was given out LBW but reviewed and it was correctly overturned

However in a bizarre twist Anderson was run out at the other end

The reason it's bizarre is because once Taylor was given out the ball should have been called dead

That isn't out and I think the umpires have made a serious error which leaves Taylor stranded on 98

CLARIFICATION OF COMPLETION OF AUSTRALIA V ENGLAND MATCH

Following Australia’s 111-run victory over England in the Group A ICC Cricket World Cup clash at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday night, the Playing Control Team (PCT) met and reviewed the final ball of the game which resulted in James Anderson being given run out.

Article 3.6a of Appendix 6 of the Decision Review System (DRS) Playing Conditions states that the ball should have been deemed dead when the batsman (James Taylor) was given out leg before wicket (lbw).

No further runs or dismissals were possible.

The PCT spoke to the England team management and acknowledges that the game ended incorrectly and an error was made.
