Jasprit Bumrah traps Moeen Ali in front; nobody appeals but ball tracking shows all reds

Struggling to keep themselves in the contest at The Oval, India missed out on a plumb LBW against England batsman Moeen Ali in the fourth Test. Despite Moeen getting pinned infront on a yorker, the batter survived as the Indians made no appeal.

The incident is from the 60th over of the home team’s first-innings. On the penultimate ball of Jasprit Bumrah’s over, the Indian speedster got a well set Moeen in all sorts of trouble with a terrific yorker.

The ball hit the left-hander hard but it seemed in real-time that he had his bat down on time and there was nothing for the fielders to get excited about.

Jasprit Bumrah misses out on a much deserved wicket despite troubling Moeen Ali with his yorker.

The Indians looked okay with the on-field call by the umpire, which was understandably not out. Their agreement reflected in the fact that none of the Indian fielders, not even the bowler – in this case, Bumrah – went for the appeal.

Replays show Moeen Ali was out LBW had India reviewed

But what the replays showed a few balls later on the screen left everyone shocked, as India had missed out on a much-deserved wicket after failing to contemplate for the DRS review or even to make an appeal, at the first place.

It was obviously difficult for any of the close-in fielders and Bumrah to be sure of if the ball hit Moeen’s inside edge or his front boot in real-time action.

The replays confirmed that the ball was indeed hitting the boot and going on to hit the stumps in line.

However, one couldn’t help but feel, had one of the Indian fielders or captain Virat Kohli, as they usually are, were keen to opt for a review, India would’ve had another crucial breakthrough.

Moeen was batting on 14 not out at the time with England 186/6, only five runs behind the modest Indian total of 191.
