The ICC Champions Trophy final of 2013 was reduced to a 20-over game due to rain and India ended up scoring a rather modest 129/7. England seemed to be cruising towards their 1st ever ODI trophy, and even when Morgan was dismissed, they were still comfortably placed. They needed 17 off 15 but with the fall of two more wickets, Tim Bresnan came to the crease with the equation reading 18 off 10 balls.

Bresnan, who has six first-class centuries to his name, was expected to finish the job but he got run-out in the most inexplicable way to turn the game India's way. He tried to sweep one off Ravindra Jadeja but missed and the appeal for LBW was turned down. However, Bresnan tried to steal a run amidst the chaos and was run-out comically when Rohit Sharma ran in from cover to leave him standing in the middle of the pitch.

England imploded and their wait for a first global ODI tournament trophy continues.
