    That was a bloody mess.

    England so needed that wicket.

    foot wasnt grounded on the stumping, you could see later on in the replay him grounding his foot.

    The fact that the 3rd umpire is making very quick decisions with one replay half the time, and then watching 7 different reviews on some of the others, at a guess.

    You could argue he's doing the latter when he hasn't got the angle etc, but it does seem a second angle can't hurt on tight ones like the stumping.

    Certainly went 'up' a bit bit I wasn't sure if that was his foot straightening (but still being on the ground) or him being off the ground.  

    Seemed a very snap decision for something that wasn't clear at all.

    Root's fury is written all over his face
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    The third umpire has definitely been inconsistent in how quickly he’s made some decisions when compared to others

    Well done Leach!

    Another non turner does the trick!

    Rohit is now 290 for 12 in the series. How many lives do these bent 3rd umpires fancy giving him?

    later in the replay you see his foot fully grounded and its clearly slightly raised. Easily worth a few more angles at least, nowhere near clear cut.

    Why hasn’t Leach been bowling from the Axar end from the start?
  • ChizzChizz
    Extraordinary scenes.  Leach hits the stumps and the third umpire doesn't intervene.

    Nope agreed, they surely have a stump cam for a start.

    Very inconsistent, the cynical part of me would query why it's so inconsistent between each innings....

    At least in the last Test the 3rd Umpire gave us the opportunity to see that the foot wasn't grounded behind the line before deciding that it was "not out". We don't even get that now!

    The diplomat  that is Cook "England have not had the rub of the green"

    It is either incompetence or dishonesty. There should be action whatever it is.

    Root actually says to the Umpire "he was already walking back to the changing rooms"
  • soapboxsamsoapboxsam
    Missed the Kohli wicket live because of winding back to watch the potential stumping. Still looked like the foot was grounded to me but we were robbed in the last test and that is impacting on this game.

    Pleased Pope's dropped catch hasn't cost England too many runs.

    Cook and Strauss saying the right way to bat 1st innings won't necessarily be the right way to bat 2nd innings for England. Tough gig this batting on bespoke Indian pitches when Patel and Ashwin are spinning the ball one ball and the next goes straight on. Plus their change of pace is deceptive.

    Jack Leech has gained so much confidence since the 1st innings at Chennai in the first test when he was erratic.
