Watch: England Batter Charlie Dean In Tears As Deepti Sharma Runs Her Out At Non-Striker's End

England batter Charlie Dean was left in tears after she was run-out by India all-rounder Deepti Sharma for backing up too far ahead in the third and final ODI at the Lord's Cricket Ground.

However, Dean ventured out of her crease, and Deepti showed remarkable game awareness, to dislodge the bails before delivering the ball. As soon as the out verdict came onto the big screen, Dean was seen crying.
