Ben Stokes, the English all-rounder was a happy man when he was called back to the crease to bat, after initially being given out by the on-field umpires. The third umpire Chris Gaffaney, then noticed that Alzarri Joseph had over-stepped while bowling the that gave him Stokes wicket when Stokes was batting at 52.

By the time, the error came into the notice, Stokes had already reached dressing room, and was sitting on his chair, when he was called back to bat again.

Speaking of the incident after the day’s end, Stokes, thanked god for technology and added that he had got get back into the frame of mind all of a sudden to bat again.

The earlier rule was tweaked in 2017, which now allows a batsman to be called back in case of erroneous decisions being made by the on-field umpires even if the batsman has crossed the boundry ropes to enter change rooms.

“I didn’t take my pads off, I was just sat in my chair. I actually thought someone had got out first ball when everyone started shouting.

“Everyone just started shouting: ‘No ball,’ and: ‘You’re in.’ It was bizarre. I just had to get back into the frame of mind. There was obviously a lot of cheering and I could have seen the funny side of it. But I said to myself: ‘Get back into the frame of mind, don’t look at it as an opportunity, just try and be not out at the end of the day.’”
