Shree Charani to Phoebe Litchfield, no run, it was surprising to see the ump give that out onfield. So much doubt of a bump ball and the replays confirm the ball hit the bat, then flew off the ground to short third. Low full toss outside off stump so there is no way a reverse sweep would go up without hitting the ground unless it's off the edge or scooped. Here she was only trying to hit along the ground past point. Phoebe was walking back but she was then asked to stop as they were checking, replays were conclusive. There was a doubt it the ball hit the bat again second time on the way to the fielder after it came off the ground. UltraEdge was put to good use and technology confirmed there was no second touch
