BBC Online :
India completed a 3-0 series victory over England in the third and final One Day International after a controversial dismissal by Deepti Sharma.
England required 17 runs to win, with one wicket left, when bowler Deepti stopped in her delivery stride to run out Charlie Dean at the non-striker’s end and secure the victory.
The game was reaching a tense conclusion when Dean was dismissed for 47 at Lord’s.
England were visibly aggrieved at the dismissal, which is within the laws of the game but seen by many as against the spirit of cricket.
The mode of dismissal is often referred to as a Mankad, after Indian batter Vinoo Mankad, who was the first player to enact the type of run out in a Test match.
It was England women’s first game at Lord’s since their World Cup triumph over India in 2017.
The dramatic conclusion to the game, which prompted boos from some inside the ground, somewhat overshadowed legendary fast bowler Jhulan Goswami’s farewell to international cricket and India’s first series win in England since 1999.
Chasing just 170 to win, Dean came to the crease after England slipped to 65-7, with India seamer Renuka Singh Thakur taking 4-29 and Goswami 2-30.
It was a terrific effort from 21-year-old Dean, who fell just three runs short of her maiden international half-century as England ended 153 all out.
