A bizarre incident took place in the One-Day Cup final at Trent Bridge, where Kent fielder Harry Finch picked up wicket-keeper Ollie Robinson`s glove and used it to field the ball, leading to Lancashire being awarded five penalty runs. Kent won the match by 21 runs, after scoring 306/6 in their allotted 50 overs and then bundled out the opponents for 285 in 48.4 overs. Kent fielder Harry Finch violated Law 28 of the MCC`s Laws of Cricket against Lancashire at Trent Bridge, said a report in mirror.co.uk on Saturday.
In the 21st over of Lancashire`s innings, Steven Croft and Keaton Jennings went for a quick single, with Robinson flicking off his glove to chase the ball. As the wicket-keeper threw the ball in the direction of the stumps, the 27-year-old Finch curiously put on Robinson`s discarded glove to gather the ball, thus violating Law 28 of the MCC`s Laws of Cricket.
