The form of dismissal is more divisive in cricket than anything else.
With England needing 17 runs to win against India, Charlie Dean was run out at the non-striker's end as DeeptiSharma stopped her delivery to take the winning wickets.
It is informally referred to as a Mankad, after Indian batter Vinoo Mankad, who was the first player to play a run out in a Test match.
The attention was diverted from Jhulan Goswami's farewell to international cricket and India's one-day international whitewash of England when England were skittled out for 153 at Lord's in the third and final game.
It makes us disagree with one another. "It's how India feel about it, I'm not a fan of it, but it's how they feel about it." Hopefully it doesn't take the shine off a good summer and good series.
Dean didn't seem to be getting out in another way.
The captain of India defended her team-mate's decision.
I thought you would want to know about the first nine. It happens in the game. I don't believe we have done anything new. She said that the rules are from the International Criminal Court.
I will support my players and I think it shows that the batters are aware of what they are doing.
The dismissal, which has only happened four times in men's one-day cricket and never before in women's, is against the spirit of cricket, with an expectation among some players that a bowler should give the batter a warning first if they feel they are walking out of their crease
Has that left a sour taste in the mouth at the end of the summer? Georgia Elwiss said she was dumbfounded on the special.
The Indian team believed that was the only way to get a victory. I don't think he was trying to get an advantage. It's crazy.
"For me, she has to think, is that how we want to win games of cricket?" Is it possible that she won't withdraw that appeal?
It took the shine off Jhulan Goswami's send-off. Everyone in the ground is stunned by how it's finished, even though she's doing the lap of honor.
Dean was left in tears at the end of the game after England's players were unimpressed with her dismissal.
Alex Hartley, a former England spinner, didn't think it was in the spirit of the game.
I can't believe it's happened but I'm pretty sure it's Deepti.
She's always threatening to do it so as a team you'll talk about it. England has gotten closer than India would have thought.
I don't think you should end an international game that way. They are going to be angry.
I was hoping that England would make a mistake and that India would win the game.
Kate Cross said that it was India's decision but she wouldn't have done it.
It is Deepti's choice how she goes about that, and we have lost that game of cricket.
We said in the dressing room that we didn't lose the game because of that last-ball dismissal. We are disappointed that we didn't win the match.
It's a dismissal that will always divide opinion and that's all that will be said about it. Some people will like it, some people will not, and Deepti decided to dismiss Charlie Dean that way.
If we're looking at the real positives, perhaps that's the only way they could get Deano out, I'm more disappointed for Charlie that she couldn't get a fifty at Lord's today. I'm just sad for her.
The two teams could be at odds going forward. Daniel believes so.
"This will be bitter," said Norcross. I don't know what will happen between the two sides.
You can have your say on the dismissal of Mankad.
