Pratap's referral to the third umpire was in clear breech of the playing conditions, since you can't refer catches when an umpire could see it. Davis didn't go upstairs at first because he was under the impression that there was no television coverage. (Why? No idea....) When the referral was eventually made, it was a perfectly valid one, since you can refer for run-outs.David Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378763233797445502noreply@blogger.com
