Chris Woakes battled his way through to a vital 46 on the second afternoon in Mirpur to give England a priceless first-innings lead. However, he might have been dismissed half an hour before his eventual departure, after being given a controversial reprieve off a waist-high full toss.Facing up to the legspin of Sabbir Rahman, Woakes had made 38 when he pulled fiercely across the line and straight into the hands of midwicket, and began walking off the field.However, the umpires opted to check the height of the delivery before upholding the decision, and after assessing several replays, the third umpire Chris Gaffaney ruled that the ball had been above waist-height and therefore a no-ball was called.Law 42.6.2, relating to bowling of high-pitched full toss, in the ICC playing conditions states: Any delivery, which passes or would have passed on the full above waist height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease is deemed unfair, whether or not it is likely to inflict physical injury on the striker.This playing condition supersedes the MCC Law, 42.6(b) which makes a distinction between the pace of delivery. (i) Any delivery, other than a slow paced one, which passes or would have passed on the full above waist height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease is to be deemed dangerous and unfair, whether or not it is likely to inflict physical injury on the striker.(ii) A slow delivery which passes or would have passed on the full above shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease is to be deemed dangerous and unfair, whether or not it is likely to inflict physical injury on the striker.This, however, was an extremely marginal decision. The ball had looped high above Woakes eyeline and was clearly dipping sharply when the batsman made contact several feet in front of his crease. In fact, subsequent HawkEye replays showed that the ball was hitting for the base of the stumps.What is more, Sabbir had opened his spell with two further full-tosses, the first of which was much higher than the wicket-taking delivery, neither of which was called for no-ball. The incident was reminiscent of Rohit Sharmas reprieve against Bangladesh in the World Cup quarter-final at Melbourne last year, on that occasion for a delivery that was clearly below waist-height.Not even Woakes own family felt that his recall was justified. Have to say, I wouldnt have given no ball for that one, said his brother, David, on Twitter. But the others in Sabbir 1st over were. Keep going boys, great effort.England were eventually bowled out for 244, a lead of 24.

Jin Jong-oh, meanwhile, took gold in the mens 50-meter pistol in Rio de Janeiro -- for the third straight games.Some in the small Asian country have an easy, long-cherished explanation for the success: The nation is simply better than everyone else at doing the little things, the things that require laser-like concentration on a small, sometimes tedious and hard-to-master skill.But South Koreas domination in some of the smaller Olympic sports can more accurately be linked to a decades-long concentration of time, effort and money, often sponsored by the government, on training and nurturing athletes from a very young age in these specialized sports; this, in turn, has created intense competition among athletes who know that success will win them serious benefits.Still, the perception of an innate national facility for these sports lingers, even among the athletes.The woman seen as partly responsible for the archery boom in South Korea, Kim Jin-ho, won the countrys first archery gold in an international sporting event in 1978. She said she and her teammates always assumed that Koreans hahttp://img.homepagemodules.de/ds/static/gaia/quote.pngd a special level of sensitivity that allowed them to shoot arrows more accurately than their Western rivals.Like much about modern South Korea, its tumultuous modern history plays a part in its supremacy in these sports.Until democracy finally came in the late 1980s, South Korea was ruled by dictators who wanted to use sports as a way to promote a strong national identity and generate loyalty.So the authoritarian government pumped money into programs for athletes who had better chances of winning medals, often in these lesser known sports, rather than building up an overall sports infrastructure for the general public. Those selected athletes trained together at government-run facilities and were awarded benefits such as good pensions and, for the men, exemptions from mandatory military service if theey performed well in international competitions like the Olympics.ddddddddddddAs athletes in those sports succeeded internationally, the sports got more public attention. More popularity meant more steady civilian and business sponsorships. This meant more money, better training facilities and more young athletes taking up and sticking with the sports.That system is still largely in place. Hence the success.I doubt that South Koreans are exclusively gifted with a delicacy of skill that produces real changes in competition, said Roh Hee-tae, a physical education professor at South Koreas Dong-A University.South Korea began seriously investing in archery in the late 1970s, reacting to public excitement created when Kim won.The training and investment have grown tremendously in the years since.Kim, now 55 and a professor with Seouls Korea National Sport University, said South Korean archers today benefit from stronger financial and administrative support and a larger number of state-of-the-art training facilities. She said that South Korean coaches do a better job than their counterparts in other countries at finding the right training methods and motions for each archer based on their physical traits and shooting style.There is growing popular recognition that all athletes, regardless of where theyre from, must focus intensely on the little details to win. Still, the idea of Korean superiority persists.Some of my colleagues joked the other day that if you took a K-pop singer, in her first try she would be able to shoot arrows more accurately than most archers from other countries, said Hong In-he, a 37-year-old office worker in Seoul. South Koreans are better in areas that require accurate and delicate skills.---Kim reported from Seoul.
