There is a massive controversy brewing all over social media on the issue of whether the overthrow which went off Ben Stokes' bat should have been awarded as 6 runs by on-field umpire Kumara Dharmasena. Now a celebrated former umpire Simon Taufel has come out and said that the overthrow ball should have been awarded 5 runs and not 6.

Luck smiled on England midway through the final over of their innings when a throw from New Zealand fielder Martin Guptill deflected off the bat of Stokes and ran to the boundary. England tied the match and the ensuing Super Over before winning on boundary count on Sunday.
