    CC has taken to Twitter to release a statement on the Steve Smith run

    out controversy on Friday at the Oval during the fifth and final Ashes
    2023 Test.

    On Day two of the Oval Test, the controversy involving Smith took


    center stage. The incident occurred during the 78th over of Australia's
    innings when Smith and Pat Cummins were batting with the score at
    193/7. Smith, who was batting on 42 at the time, worked the third ball
    of the over from Chris Woakes to midwicket and set for a quick two.
    However, he found himself in trouble when George Ealham, a
    substitute fielder, rushed in and threw the ball to the wicket-keeper
    quickly.

    Smith made a desperate dive to reach the crease, but it seemed that
    Jonny Bairstow had managed to break the stumps before Smith
    reached safety. The England players were convinced Smith was out
    and began celebrating. Initial replays also seemed to indicate that
    Smith was out of his crease when Bairstow broke the stumps.

    However, after a prolonged inspection of the replays, TV Umpire Nitin


    Menon adjudged Smith to be not out. This decision was based on the
    cricket law book's Law 29.1, which states that the wicket is broken
    when at least one bail is completely removed from the top of the
    stumps, or one or more stumps is removed from the ground.

    In Smith's case, only one end of the bail had left its groove when
    Bairstow disturbed the stumps. By the time both ends of the bail were
    dislodged, Smith had got back in by the barest of margins.

    This decision sparked debate and confusion among broadcasters and
    fans alike. Despite the controversy, Smith went on to score 71 runs,
    helping Australia reach 295 in their first innings and secure a slender
    lead of 12 at the end of the day's play. This incident added another
    layer of drama to the ongoing Ashes 2023 series between England and
    Australia.

    Now, MCC have reacted on the incident and confirmed it was the right
    call due to Law 29.1. 

    "We have received a few questions regarding the decision in the


    below video."

    Law 29.1 states: "The wicket is broken when at least one bail is
    completely removed from the top of the stumps, or one or more
    stumps is removed from the ground."

    Tom Smith's Cricket Umpiring and Scoring, MCC's Official


    Interpretation of the Laws of Cricket, adds: "For the purposes of
    dismissal – a bail has been removed at the moment that both ends of
    it leave their grooves," read the statement.
