Shams Ur Rahman to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, no run, a stunning catch by Faridoon at point, but the third umpire has ruled it in the favour of the batter as some part of the ball was touching the ground. It was trifle short outside off, Sooryavanshi cuts it in the air towards point, couldn't control the shot because of the extra bounce. Faridoon flung to his left and takes a one-handed stunner, as he fell to the ground, some part of the ball appeared to be touching the ground in of the frames and that one frame has saved Vaibhav here. To be honest, in real-time it looked out, the replays can always be deceiving. The third ump felt he didn't have clear evidence of ball not touching the grass, so he asked for more angles. "Director, I want to see before completion of the catch if any part of the ball is touching the ground," he said. Then asked to move it frame by frame and came to the conclusion saying "Some part of the ball is touching the ground, made my decision." The green light flashed to extend Vaibhav's stay, much to the shock of the fielding side. The fielder caught the ball, was sliding the left hand because of the momentum of the dive. His palm seemed to be facing up for most parts but there was one frame which was iffy and Vaibhav got the benefit of doubt
