On Saturday, India and England faced off in the fourth Test of their five-match series at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. The hosts came into the match leading the series 2-1 after a 434-run win in Rajkot last week.
Bet here on India vs England and other matches!
England chose to bat first, and were in a spot of bother at 112/5 at lunch on the first day. Joe Root then stepped up to score a superb century, eventually finishing on 122 not out as the visitors managed to score 353 by the second morning.
India lost captain Rohit Sharma early on, before Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill took India to lunch.
Controversy erupts after Yashasvi Jaiswal receives reprieve in Ranchi Test
After lunch, on the last ball of the 20th over, Jaiswal nicked a delivery from Ollie Robinson through to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes. The ball kept low on the batter, and the decision was referred to the third umpire to rule on whether the catch had been taken cleanly, or the ball had bounced prior to settling in Foakes' gloves.
The England players seemed confident, and began to celebrate as the initial pictures came up on the replay. However, after reviewing the footage three of four times, third umpire Joel Wilson ruled that the ball had bounced, and Jaiswal was not out. England seemed dumbfounded, and fans and experts took to social media to express their thoughts on the incident.
Absolutely the correct decision by the TV Umpire on that occasion.

Ben Stokes "I think replays got to go, the ball didn't touch the ground imo" https://t.co/UImuDbJ8pS

As I have often said, with the close catches, you see what you want to see. The umpire can't think that way. This time, it seems as if Joel Wilson got it right. But the cricket world has to live with the fact that close catches will always be a grey area.
