The batsman's stay in the middle was cut short by Sam Curran while he was batting on 57, as he was caught by Dawid Malan at the fine-leg region. 


However, his dismissal created an uproar among the cricket fans as TV replays confirmed that the catch wasn’t clear. A closer look on the incident showed Malan grabbing the ball but it was also brushing the ground. However, due to the soft signal and lack of conclusive evidence the batsman was ruled out.
