London: Despite making a howler in the semi-final between England and Australia at Edgbaston on Thursday, that was as blatant as it gets, Kumar Dharmasena of Sri Lanka has been appointed as one of the two on-field umpires for the final at Lord's tomorrow.

His partner will be South African Marais Erasmus, who also stood in the same semi-final. Dharmasena had ruled England opener Jason Roy caught behind when he looked set to get to a blistering century. Roy tried to hook a Pat Cummins delivery which went down the leg-side. An appeal by Aussie wicketkeeper Carey was hesitantly upheld by Dharmasena.
