Ian Bell Run Out Video 2nd Test India Vs England Trend Bridge Nottingham



Ian Bell (137) just last ball before the Tea mistook the ball going to fence as four and ran for the fourth run but (as it seemed to some commentators) that instead he ran to the striker end Eoin Morgan as it was last ball before Tea, it was appealed for a Run-out and eventually third umpire gave it a run out in a first of its kind... Later on the Indian Cricket team decided to recall the decision to play the game in the right spirit and Ian Bell came back BIZARRE!!



The contentious run-out of Ian Bell at the stroke of tea on the third day, which threatened to erupt into the biggest controversy of the series, was overturned during the break after MS Dhoni withdrew the appeal.



At the stroke of tea, Bell's run-out on 137, after having left the crease before the ball was dead, was on the verge of becoming a major point of dispute between the two sides. During the break, England captain Andrew Strauss and coach Andy Flower went to the Indian dressing room to ask MS Dhoni if the run-out decision could be overturned. The Indians agreed to withdraw the appeal.

Play resumed after Bell and Eoin Morgan walked out to bat to cheers from a crowd that had spent the previous five minutes booing the two umpires - there were calls of 'cheat' from a small section of the crowd - and then the Indian team as it made its way out.

Morgan had flicked the last ball of the 66th over, from Ishant Sharma, to deep square leg where Praveen Kumar tumbled over trying to field. The batsmen, having taken the third, appeared to be unsure whether the ball had reached the boundary. Morgan held up his arm to Bell, who jogged halfway down the pitch and then continued walking down. The throw from Praveen eventually came in to Abhinav Mukund, who took off the bails and appealed for a run-out. By that time, Bell had punched gloves with his partner and was heading towards the pavilion.
