Seeing how feeble the throw was, he appeared to shape up for a second but fell, and Maxwell had already gotten the ball and smashed the stumps. The England Test captain dashed towards the opposite end. His partner Buttler, meanwhile ran all the way to the other end and that is when Stokes realised what was happening. Stokes had already begun going back to the dugout when the long-off fielder made the save. He assumed the ball would go for a four when he hit Glenn Maxwell for a lofted shot down the ground. Stokes put himself in a difficult situation in the final over of England's batting innings, rushing towards the non-striker's end after realizing the ball had not traveled to the boundary.
As the game progressed, English all-rounder Ben Stokes was nearly dismissed in a near-comical run-out. The match did, however, include numerous memorable moments, notably Australian pacer Mitchell Starc's warning to England skipper Jos Buttler for backing up too much at the non-striker's end.
The third T20I between Australia and England ended with no result on Friday after being shortened to 12 overs each side due to rain.
