Chennai: In a rare incident, an umpire's Decision Review System (DRS) referral was on Saturday restored to England after an error on the part of the third umpire, Anil Chaudhary, on the first day of the second Test against India at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here.
On the second ball of the 75th over, bowled by left-arm spinner Jack Leach, Ajinkya Rahane gloved it to the forward short-leg fielder. India were 248 for four wickets and Rahane was on 66.
While the England players appealed, the umpire declared 'not out'. On review, the snickometre showed no spike as the ball went past the inside edge of the bat.
