Watch: Charlie Dean fakes run-out at non-striker's end a day after Deepti Sharma incident

Charlie Dean was in tears after Deepti Sharma ran out the batter at the non-striker’s end for backing up too much on Saturday in the third India vs England ODI at Lord’s. The 21-year-old cricketer, however, hasn’t taken long to bounce back from the incident as she herself came close to affecting a run-out at the non-strikers’ end in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy final at Lord’s just a day after the India match.

Dean, of Southern Vipers, got massive applause from the crowd at Lord’s as she came on to bowl in the List A match and on her first delivery faked a run-out at the non-striker’s end as she warned batter Linsey Smith of Northern Diamonds to stay in her crease.

Dean’s act led to multiple and varied reactions on Twitter with most of them praising the all-rounder for moving on quickly from the controversy and showing a strong character.

Brilliant – Charlie Dean pulls out of her delivery stride first ball, and goes as if to run out Linsey Smith at the non strikers end. Ripple of laughter and applause goes up around Lord’s
