England batsman Jason Roy became the holder of a dubious record on Friday when he became the first batsman in Twenty20 International history to be given out for obstructing the field.
The incident happened in the 16th over of England's innings when Roy's teammate Liam Livingstone sent the ball towards backward point and asked for a single but changed his mind at the last moment.
Roy, while running back to the crease, changed his path and the throw from the fielder hit his boots. After the incident, South Africa players appealed and the on-field umpire asked for the help of the TV umpire.
After much deliberation Roy was given out, much to the dismay of the home fans.
