England’s Tom Hartley decided to review the decision after the on-field umpire signaled out for caught behind. And this is where the confusion began. First, ultra edge was used to determine if it was a caught behind. With no bat or glove involved, ball tracking was brought into play.

Ball tracking went on to show that the delivery went on to hit the stumps but it was umpire’s call. Thus, the decision for LBW remained the same as the on-field umpire’s call for LBW was not out.
