Stokes to Mitchell Santner, out Caught by Jacob Bethell!! England get another one, Stokes gets another one. The review hasn't worked for Santner who will have to walk back. That was a well-directed bumper by the England captain. The first replay showed it hit the sweatband but the one from the side-on angle suggests it went off the arm guard. The on-field umpire gave it out after the ball ballooned to gully but Santner wasn't really sure. The left-hander tried to duck under it but couldn't get his hands down. He will have to walk back but you would say that was a mistake from the third umpire. As soon as Santner reviewed, Stokes had a word with him and asked him where the ball hit him, Santner pointed to the arm guard but Stokes pointed back that it was the sweatband. The third umpire didn't look at too many replays, he saw the straight on view and then the UltraEdge before making the decision. Mitchell Santner c Jacob Bethell b Stokes 4(12) [4s-1]
