NEW DELHI: A dramatic moment unfolded on Day 3 of the second Test at Edgbaston as tensions flared during India’s second innings. The incident occurred when pacer Josh Tongue and the England fielders made a loud appeal for LBW against Yashasvi Jaiswal.On-field umpire Sharfuddoula raised his finger and gave Jaiswal out. The Indian opener then had a prolonged discussion with KL Rahul before opting to review the decision—right at the last moment.
However, Jaiswal’s delayed call for DRS didn’t sit well with England captain Ben Stokes. He quickly approached umpire Sharfuddoula, arguing that the 15-second timer had expired before the review was signalled. A heated exchange followed between Stokes and the umpires, with KL Rahul also stepping in to clarify the situation.The Edgbaston crowd reacted with loud boos as the drama unfolded, but eventually, the review was accepted by the umpires.The replay showed the ball crashing into the leg stump, with all three indicators—impact, pitching, and wickets—supporting the original decision. Three reds, and Jaiswal was officially declared out after the review.
