It's good to see this turning into a relatively even contest...
A couple of wickets now and its about even.
Pitch doing a bit but there's runs to be had.
Much more like it.

Can someone explain Umpires Call please?
Ball pitched in line, hit the pad in line, no bat involved, tech says ball hitting top of the stumps
How is that not out?
Don't they use the tech to help them.?

i think if its given Not Out then hit has to have the whole ball hitting the stumps not just part of it.
might be one of the things changed next time they review the rules on DRS, but who knows

I think it’s more than half the ball has to be hitting to go against the umpires.

I can now see why Bess wasn't selected for the last Test!

Theyve just explained it, pretty much like that but I thought I heard that more than 50% of the ball has to be hitting.
So they're admitting that the accuracy of the tech is half a ball width out.......
sounds about right, i supposed theres "benifit of the doubt" that has to go to the batsman if its only a small part of the ball hitting.
Imurg

Guess so.
But it does dilute the reasons for having the tech in the first place..
i'd agree, but they always say DRS was brought it to stop the Howler, not the marginal...... mind you thats hadn't factored in an Indian 3rd ump

The idea of the tolerance is also to factor in that the ball flight *may* slightly alter; e.g. sometimes you see the ball swing after it's gone behind the bat.
