Over 0.6 JM Anderson bowls a good length delivery to Dimuth Karunaratne, no runs, lovely late inswinger from Anderson and it raps up the pad of Karunaratne in front of leg. Umpire Reiffel gives it out and the batsman has asked for a review. There is no inside edge and the ball had pitched in line of the stumps. Hawk Eye shows that the ball was bouncing over the top of leg so the decision is reversed to NOT OUT!
