Mithun to Styris, no run, Shout for a catch behind decision. It was another incutter from outside off and again, Styris pushed outside the line of the delivery.

Further replays on that shout for a catch throw more doubts! It looks as if there might have been an inside edge on to the pad. But no snicko (not yet at least) and no hot spot. Can't really say.
