Tammy Beaumont Courts Ire Over Attempt At 'Field Obstruction' In England's Win Over India
Beaumont tried to boot the ball, which did not sit well with the fielding unit, during the second ODI between England and India at the Lord's.
English batter Tammy Beaumont ruffled some feathers with her attempt at a field obstruction during the game against Indian at the Lord's on Saturday.
England posted an 8-wicket win in the game as the hosts completed the victory with 18 deliveries left to spare, according to the DLS method in the truncated game.

In the fifth over of the chase, Deepti Sharma's turner was pushed towards Jemimah Rodrigues at mid-wicket. The Indian fielder collected the ball swiftly to stop a quick single and released it to the keeper, Richa Ghosh. However, before the ball could reach the keeper, Beaumont looked to try to boot the ball, which did not sit well with the fielding unit.
Beaumont's attempt at a kick missed the mark, and there was no chance of a runout, but the travelling side were less than pleased with the batter's antics.
Team India posted a total of 143 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 29 overs as Smriti Mandana topped the scoring charts with her 42-run knock. Deepti chipped in with a sizeable 30-run contribution.
Amy Jones led the English chase with her unbeaten 46-run knock as the opener remained unbeaten. Beaumont, who added 34 runs to her side's cause was scalped by Sneh Rana as the Indian trapped the Englishwoman plumb in front of the wicket.
Nat Sciver-Brunt added 21 runs off 25 deliveries before Kranti Goud castled the English all-rounder. Sophia Dunkley remained unbeatean alongside Jones to close out the chase in 21 overs in the rain-hit game.
The three-game series stands level at 1-1 at the conclusion of two games with the decider set to be played on the 22nd of July at the Riverside Ground

England vs India: Nitish Kumar Reddy ruled out of series
The Indian team received another injury blow on Sunday when all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy was ruled out of the remaining two matches of the Test series due to a ligament injury. The news comes on the heels of pacers Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep were ruled out of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, prompting the selection committee to include Haryana seamer Anshul Kamboj in the squad as back-up. Reddy played the second and third Tests against England and had scores of 1,1, 30 and 13 while taking three wickets. It is not yet clear whether the selection committee will send another player as Reddy's replacement. It is learnt that Reddy informed the team management on Sunday morning that he felt some discomfort while stretching, and scans showed a tear, and the player could be on the sidelines for a few weeks. The visitors are 1-2 behind after three Tests of the series, with the fourth match beginning on Wednesday. The selectors and team management will now have to make at least two changes to the playing XI from the Lord's Test, as Akash Deep and Reddy will not be available. The 26-year-old Arshdeep suffered a cut on his bowling hand during a net session on Thursday while stopping a ball hit by Sai Sudharsan on his follow-through. The hand was stitched up but he won't be fit for the fourth Test. He hasn't played a Test yet but could have been in line for a debut in case the team management went for a change in the pace attack. Akash Deep has a groin niggle and didn't bowl in the nets before the team left for Manchester. Currently, the Indian team has a pace-bowling all-rounder in Shardul Thakur in the squad.
