Mohammad Rizwan followed in the footsteps of Alex Carey when Pakistan took on South Africa in the Cricket World Cup, with a throw at the stumps after the batter had left the crease, but unlike for the wicket of Jonny Bairstow, he did not appeal slots
The Bairstow dismissal on the fifth day of the second Ashes Test match at Lord’s become one of the talking points of the summer, both Australian and British Prime Ministers added their opinions on the matter as debate raged concerning the ‘spirit of cricket’ slots
There were other more questionable actions that day from the MCC members towards the Australians, and the Ashes was set alight slots
England did not lose another Test and it sparked a flurry of sixes from Ben Stokes that briefly threatened the state of the game at the Home of Cricket slots
A few months later, Rizwan did the same as Carey had slots
The ball from Haris Rauf flew over the off stump, Aiden Markram had a wild swish to the leg side slots
The batter – just as Bairstow had done – tapped his foot in his crease before leaving it, and Rizwan lobbed the ball into the stumps slots
Rizwan was left grinning and holding his arms out but decided not to appeal slots
Carlos Brathwaite on Test Match Special, said: “The difference for me slots between that and the Bairstow one, is the length of time that Rizwan had the ball in his hands for slots
He had the ball in his gloves for a few seconds, put his head down, and then threw the ball slots
“Alex Carey threw the ball instantaneously slots
It is close enough to draw parallels but as we say, he wasn’t going for a run out in the end slots
Rizwan was smiling with Markram afterwards slots

England were grappling with a selection quandary on the eve of their crucial World Cup clash against South Africa, with captain Jos Buttler weighing up Chris Woakes’ role as leader of the attack slots
Woakes’ new-ball skills have been a reliable centrepiece of the side ever since their white-ball reinvention eight years ago, but he has suffered an uncharacteristic wobble since arriving in India slots
Three loose starts from the usually dependable seamer have undermined England’s efforts so far and an economy rate of 7 slots
5 an over, coupled with two wickets at 67 slots
50 each, tells a concerning story slots
But with victory a must in Mumbai on Saturday following defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan, taking the most established pace bowler out of the firing line would still represent a significant call slots
Buttler acknowledged Woakes’ long-term record and recent dip in form represented a conflicted picture and is set to thrash the matter out with head coach Matthew Mott slots
RecommendedBen Stokes feared his Cricket World Cup was over when he heard his hip ‘pop’Jonny Bairstow: England-South Africa World Cup double will be ‘great spectacle’“He’s been a fantastic performer for an incredibly long time for England in all the formats and especially in one-day cricket,” he said slots
“But we’re all honest guys, right? We’re all honest professionals who hold each other to high standards and individually expect a lot of ourselves slots
He knows he’s not performing quite how he would like to at the minute, and that’s frustrating, but there’s no judgement from our side slots
“We always back all our players that are in our team - we picked them for a number of reasons and one because they’re high-class players and he’s certainly one of those slots
”David Willey stands by as a specialist powerplay bowler, eager to showcase his left-arm swing on the World Cup stage after missing out on the 2019 tournament by a whisker, while Surrey’s Gus Atkinson has yet to feature slots
Whatever happens, Ben Stokes is locked in to make his eagerly-anticipated return after missing all three games with a hip injury slots
And, with his stand-in Harry Brook providing the only bright spot of a botched chase against Afghanistan, a rebalancing of the XI could be under consideration slots
Sam Curran, light on runs and expensive with the ball, has left himself particularly vulnerable slots
Sam Curran has not fired with bat or ball to any great extent (Getty Images)“I think I’ve got so many options within the squad, selection is always tough,” Buttler said slots
“You’re working out the right balance, which is always venue dependent as well, and we’ve had a good chance to see the wicket here and gather a bit more information slots
“Obviously Ben has trained really well and it’s great to see him back slots
He obviously brings a lot on the field and with his presence and leadership skills as well, so he’s someone who is always good to turn to slots
”Both teams are looking to bounce back from stinging upsets last time out, with the Proteas’ implosion against the Netherlands somehow leapfrogging England’s reverse against Afghanistan in the pantheon of World Cup shocks within 24 hours slots
The last time the two sides faced off at this storied venue, in the 2016 T20 World Cup, it was a classic encounter that saw England hunt down 230 - still their record chase in the format slots
There are six survivors from that side still on parade seven years later, including Buttler slots
Now he is hoping England can relocate similar attacking instincts once again slots
“There are great memories of that night, albeit a long time ago slots
It was one of my favourite games,” he recalled slots
“I think this is one of the great grounds in India slots
I love playing cricket here slots
I think it’s a fantastic cricket wicket and, absolutely, it should suit us slots
“We want to find ways to make a play, to put the opposition under pressure in lots of different ways slots
That doesn’t always mean hitting fours and sixes, it means can we push back when the opposition is on top or can we really take the initiative in different ways slots
That’s what we want to live by as a team slots
