Vandersay to Buttler, no run, review taken for an lbw by Sri Lanka! The umpire reckons this wasn't out, but the Sri Lankan captain has challenged the umpire's decision.. Think this is missing the off-stump as the legbreak was spinning away sharply when there was contact between the ball and the batter's pads.. Buttler was down on his knee to play the reverse sweep as he got hit on the pads. Impact in line and it's missing the off-stump, confirm the replays. The umpire's decision has been overturned
