Pakistan vs Bangladesh, 3rd ODI LIVE: What was the run out controversy about?
The Salman Ali Agha run out incident that re-ignited the conversation about 'Spirt of Cricket' happened in the second game at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur.
On the fourth ball of the 39th over, which was being bowled by Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Mohd Rizwan defended the ball which rolled towards Agha at the non-striker’s end. The ball hit Agha's pads and his bat and he tried to pick the ball up. But Miraz, who moved sideways, got there first and picked the ball up and then threw it at the stumps at the non-striker’s end. The Pakistan cricketer was shocked to see Miraz and the other Bangladesh fielders appealing for a run out.
The decision was sent upstairs to the third umpire and while he was taking a look, cameras caught a livid Agha throwing his gloves and bat on the ground in anger. He had tried to pick the ball up to give the Bangladesh bowler.
The third umpire had given Agha run out and he trudged off in anger. Cameras then caught the usually calm Agha gesticulating in anger and aiming his words at Bangladesh players who were celebrating the wicket. At one point, Rizwan too had to intervene and hold back a Bangladesh player who tried to say something back to Agha as he was walking off.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the third ODI between Pakistan and Bangladesh. It will be a game that decides the winner of the series. The first two games have seen plenty of drama already: a batting slump from Pakistan in the first game which led to them being all out for 114, a splendid wrecking ball of a spell from Bangladesh's Nahid Rana, then a whirlwind knock from Maaz Sadaqat in the second game, a controversial run out of Salman Ali Agha, and the controversy that ensued.
All of this had led to the prospect of an entertaining third game today.

Controversy erupted during the second ODI match between Pakistan and Bangladesh when the Men in Green’s Salman Ali Agha was run out by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The incident, which will no doubt bring up the old debate over spirit of cricket, happened during the 4th ball of the 39th over.
Miraz was bowling to Mohammad Rizwan who played the ball back towards the right of the bowler which Miraz stopped with his boot. Meanwhile, Agha, who was on the non striker’s end, was out of his crease and in Miraz’s way with both players in close proximity. Agha then bento down to pick the ball and hand it back to the bowler but Miraz swooped in himself and in an under-armed throw knocked the bails off with Agha still outside the crease.
