England's Heather Knight accuses India of "lying about warnings" as Mankad row rumbles on

England captain Heather Knight has accused India of "lying" about the controversial Mankad dismissal of Charlie Dean in the final ODI at Lord's on Saturday.

India spinner Deepti Sharma ran out Dean at the non-strikers end, a dismissal that has become known as a Mankad. It was the final wicket to fall in the match and saw India win the game by 16 runs.

Dean was left in tears after the dismissal and fans at Lord's booed the controversial ending as, while it is legal, many believe it to be against the spirit of the game. When asked about the dismissal after India landed back in Kolkata, Sharma said they had "warned" Dean about her leaving the crease before the ball was bowled.
