Time for the replays. Snicko shows a gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds - it would have crashed into the top of middle and leg. That's a big wicket in the context of the game. Smith wasn't sure, Webster reckoned it was high but Carey egged the Australian captain to challenge the decision and he eventually agreed. Excellent review that. Brook had also crouched in his stance a bit and that didn't help his cause. The move to bowl off-spin has worked wonders for Webster. Brook lbw b Webster 42(48) [4s-5]
