rule was changed to accommodate Senanayakke
Apparently you're allowed 15 milliseconds after the stride now...

No but Mathews is, he upheld the appeal and no SL player tried to talk him out of it. Not saying they should have but the England team may hold it against the whole team. It certainly adds spice to things later today.

Eng should destroy SL in the Tests - they don't really need much more of an incentive.

They should do, might make it a badblooded series though.

I don't agree with the rules. It must be 9 milliseconds

Unlikely when pretty much everyone in the commentary team agrees it's within the rules of the game and Sena gave a warning. Is mankading illegal? If anything the rest of the match might be testy, but the test match is more than a week from now and this would be forgotten by then.

In short, much like the Karthik/Barrow run out two years ago, it's:
(a) legal
(b) thick from Buttler
(c) unsporting from Sri Lanka
I am nevertheless amused by recalling the Sri Lankan howls of anguish when Muralitharan was run out in New Zealand because he wandered down the wicket to congratulate Sangakkara on his century. You can't complain about that one and defend this.

Why not? In that instance Murali was gaining no advantage and was given no warning.
Here Butler was gaining a couple of extra inches headstart and was even warned.

Yeah I don't see the comparison at all.

It's OK, he was wrong (and admitted to as such) you don't have to act like a six year old.

I think Murali should've waited till the ball was dead though - McCullum was still waiting for the throw. I don't consider that mankading - that's just a stupid runout.
If no laws are broken (which I was wrong about due to the two differing rules) then I don't really care about spirit of the game or whatever that is supposed to mean but to pretend Buttler is gaining an advantage is farcical.

That's the umpire's call - he could've said Buttler wasn't trying to get an advantage, but it can be argued even an inch past the line is technically an advantage.
