Dec 11, 2016 at 7:33 PM
India has dominated Day 4 of the Mumbai Test with both bat and ball as the duo of Jayant Yadav and Virat Kohli piled up runs in the morning session before the spin trio came into the party with the ball later in the day.
The impressive performances with bat and ball meant India are on course to clinch the Test match as England were reduced to 182/6 at the end of Day 4 in the second innings. The visitors still trail by 49 runs as they head into the final day of the Test match.
However, despite all the brilliance from Indian batsmen and spinners as well as the lack of composure by English players, the moment of the day came from umpire Bruce Oxenford.
Oxenford had given the decision as out when Bairstow was caught behind the wicket off the bowling of Jadeja. But the English keeper reviewed the decision and the replays showed that Jadeja had overstepped the crease.
However, Oxenford and Bairstow’s clash didn’t end there as at 163/4, Bairstow was again given out by umpire Oxenford for getting caught at short leg. However, Bairstow reviewed the decision almost instantly which saw Oxenford make an epic reaction asking TV umpire as Bairstow has reviewed Bruce’s decision second time.
But the on-field umpire had to yet again change his decision as Bairstow glove were nowhere near the ball and the decision was overturned once again successfully by the English keeper.
With Bairstow unbeaten at the end of the day’s play, we might see another incident of such sorts tomorrow.
Here take a look at the video:
