According to Ben Stokes' England teammate James Anderson, Stokes asked the umpires not to add the four runs that were added to England's score off overthrows which in the end proved decisive in the World Cup 2019 final. 

A throw from Black Caps fielder Martin Guptill deflected off Stokes' bat while he was diving to reach his crease to complete the second run and the ball ran off to the boundary in the dying stages of the England run chase.
