The Review occurred within the forty eighth over, with part-timer Dan Lawrence bowling towards Ravichandran Ashwin and Virat Kohli. With Ashwin dealing with, there was a pointy flip of the ball, and wicketkeeper Ben Foakes made a one-handed assortment.
After some deliberation, England went for the Review towards Ashwin, basing their name on the sound that they’d heard. However, replays confirmed that there was an enormous hole between bat and ball because the supply turned sharply and that the sound had been from Ashwin’s bat hitting the bottom.
