India vs England 2016: 5 times DRS came to India's rescue in the Test series

#2 Stokes finds himself caught in ambiguity

Stokes’ bat hit the ground at the same time that ball took the edge

The action had shifted to Mumbai with England finding themselves under immense pressure. Cook called correctly and debutant Keaton Jennings showed the way with a clinical century. But, Ravichandran Ashwin‘s masterful spell fetched a flurry of wickets to bring India back into the contest.

At the start of the second day, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler were seeking to stabilize the innings. Before even the third over of the day could be completed, Ashwin got one to turn sharply from round the wicket. When it was given not out on the field, the Indians had no hesitation in calling on the third umpire. Even though the bat hit the ground at the exact moment in which the ball took the outside edge, there was enough evidence to overturn the decision and Stokes trudged off in disgust.
