England coach Trevor Bayliss: 'Let's forget Ben Stokes controversial dismissal'

England head coach Trevor Bayliss urges everyone to forget about the controversial Ben Stokes dismissal from the second ODI against Australia.

England head coach Trevor Bayliss has urged everyone to move on from Ben Stokes's controversial dismissal in the second one-day international against Australia at Lord's.

The all-rounder was sent packing after Mitchell Starc's attempt to throw the ball at the stumps hit the Englishman's hand, which umpires deemed as obstructing play.

Tempers boiled over when the decision was made and Stokes has insisted that he did not intentionally block the ball during England's 64-run defeat.

When asked about the incident today, Bayliss told reporters: "I just thought it was two teams trying to win the match for their respective teams and playing with a bit of emotion. It's good to see a bit of emotion in a match.

"They argue one way, we argue the other, let's get on with it. We were a bit disappointed at the time but by the time we left everybody was in good spirits and looking forward to the next match."

England are 2-0 down in the five-match series heading into tomorrow's third game at Old Trafford.
