In the match, Adil Rashid delivered a ball to de Kock, resulting in a dramatic moment. Initially, England celebrated what they thought was a clean catch, but de Kock, unsure about its validity, hesitated to leave the field. The umpires referred the decision upstairs for review. It was a tense situation as the third umpire scrutinized multiple angles to determine if the catch was legitimate. Ultimately, the third umpire found evidence suggesting the ball had touched the ground before being caught, leading to de Kock being given a reprieve.
The delivery itself was a tossed-up ball outside leg, prompting de Kock to attempt a sweep shot that could have resulted in a straightforward catch for Wood if he had positioned himself better. However, Wood’s failure to adjust meant the ball was taken as a very low catch, which the third umpire ruled had made contact with the ground. Despite Wood’s protests that his fingers were underneath, the decision stood, marking a pivotal moment in the game.
