I think this is an unhelpful sidetracking and off the point, but as you ask: 20.4.2 Either umpire shall call and signal Dead ball when
...
20.4.2.5 the striker is not ready for the delivery of the ball and, if the ball is delivered, makes no attempt to play it. Provided the umpire is satisfied that the striker had adequate reason for not being ready, the ball shall not count as one of the over.
20.4.2.6 the striker is distracted by any noise or movement or in any other way while preparing to receive, or receiving a delivery. This shall apply whether the source of the distraction is within the match or outside it.
It's already at the umpire's discretion.

The point is currently, the ball is live, and it is viewed by many as being unsporting to mankad the batter.
I suspect it's part of why bowlers now get warned if they accidentally knock the bails off in the delivery stride. as Wood (?) used to do repeatedly.
Warnings are not mandatory, and Mankad himself warned the batsman on the first instance (in a different match to the first wicket). The next one, he didn't.
How many warnings would/should be given? Why is the batsman allowed a free go?
I don't have an answer to this, but it's very rare and that suggests that it's fine as it is.
I think I'd take this bloke's opinion though! "For the life of me, I can't understand why [the press] questioned his sportsmanship. The laws of cricket make it quite clear that the non-striker must keep within his ground until the ball has been delivered. If not, why is the provision there which enables the bowler to run him out? By backing up too far or too early, the non-striker is very obviously gaining an unfair advantage."

That is a newish law I thought, last 2 years, seen it applied when a fielder pretends to throw the ball after diving and missing it. Not sure if applicable in the circumstances today.
Not sure how that could come about - the striker pulls back and the bowler mankads the non-striker? I suspect the umpire would call dead ball when the striker stepped back.

Meh - its England - they would have found some way to fuck it up next delivery anyway - bowled themselves into a good position and the batting let them down. Also happens the other way. Thats cricket folks.
Like not getting a run if they leave their crease before the ball is bowled?
It would be workable if it was at the discretion of the umpire. If a batter was taking the piss, they still could be given out, I guess, but 6 inches isn’t going to make a huge difference generally.
Having watched it again I’m not sure it should have been given out. The umpire seemed to just be in the process of calling a dead ball a fraction of a second before she breaks the stumps.
