Totally within the laws of the game what Srl Lanka did.
Whether it's in the spirit of the game is a matter of opinion.
Don't like it personally, rather than getting opponents out, it's a little like tricking them out.
Commentary today talked about this rule being similar to the old run out rule. Now if you cross the line and your bat pops up when the ball takes off
the bails you're safe. This is a slightly similar instance, the foot was planted at the crucial moment and only came up slightly later.
Rules are made to be broken, none more so than when Stokes created 4 overthrows to win the world cup.

Stokes didn't intend the 4 overthrows, did he though? Sri-lanka pretty clearly intended to stump iman.

Dickwella has been fined for this sort of thing before. Either it's against the laws and it shouldn't be given out or it's within them and shouldn't be fined. Doesn't make sense for the umpire to give out a delayed stumping and then fine the keeper for being a prick.

what is the controversy? i read the cricinfo account only so didn't see it
C'mon Shady, the highlights have been up for a while now.

I can certainly see why it was controversial, but nothing wrong with it in a close reading of the laws. I'd only question whether his spike was actually not touching the ground.
