'Error' in cricket Cup final's game-tying run

LONDON • The umpire who awarded England six runs from a freak overthrow in the last over of the Cricket World Cup final has admitted he made an "error" and should have given one run fewer, a Times of London report said on Sunday.

A throw to the stumps deflected off the bat of Ben Stokes as he tried to complete a second run and raced to the boundary, with umpire Kumar Dharmasena giving six runs.

It took the final to a Super Over, which again was tied, but England lifted the trophy by virtue of having scored more boundaries. However, the Sri Lankan admitted after seeing TV replays, which he did not have the "luxury" of consulting, that there had been an "error of judgement".
