Stokell twice reaches fifty after leg-byes change and wrongful dismissal in Leicester

Rebecca Stokell reached a half-century twice in the first One Day International against England in Leicester after an unusual sequence of events. Stokell initially got to 50 but the runs were later recorded as leg-byes and removed from her personal tally. She was then wrongly given out, only to return and reach fifty again as the Ireland batter completed the milestone a second time during the match. BBC Sport reported the incident, describing the passage as a rollercoaster for the player as scoring and an incorrect decision affected her individual total.
