It hit the bat. How was that given out, Strangely it's not been mentioned by the bias commentators
Seemed a fair call to me - hard to say if bat hit solely pad or if it grazed bat whilst bat was lodged in pad. With it being all so close ultra edge was never gonna help either but given it was given as out in field not sure there is evidence to say the umpire was definetly wrong and the call should be overturned. One of those Bess will probably and understandably feel hard done by but the right call for me

The bat was jammed behind the pad. He was unlucky that his bat got stuck behind the pad but that was obviously out.

Its a new ball pitch. Once the ball is 30 overs old, wicket becomes relatively okay for batting. And its a slow turner after 40. So no idea what England are doing here.

There's only about 13 overs left today after changeover given the time left in the day. So if England declare now they would only get max 23 overs with the second new ball.

Way things are going, that figure is going to come down further!!

80+ 23 = 103 overs

i think the idea is that the fact that it hit the bat at all is sufficient "doubt" to rule it not out? but, uh, that's not how the drs works. or indeed how the lbw law works.
No I mean, if the umpire could see live that the bat did get stuck behind the pad, it is very much a simple decision.
