Is that stumped? The keeper, Rahila Firdous, seems pretty excited and the umpires have sent it upstairs. Lizelle Lee did wander out of her crease but did she manage to get back in time? The third umpire first checks UltraEdge and the ball has comfortably missed the bat. Next, the stumping is checked and the side-on angle shows that this is a close one. The third umpire takes his time to check whether the bails were dislodged before the bat was grounded or not. The camera angle from behind shows that the bat hits the turf a fraction before the bails light up but it then goes up in the air exactly when the bails light up. Also, Lee's foot is on the popping crease but is there any part of it inside the crease? After checking all the angles and all the scenarios, the third umpire makes a decision. OUT comes up on the big screen.
