Saud Shakeel was given out on a controversial decision that has now become a social media debate.
Saud, who was batting at 94 runs, edged a ball from Mark Wood’s bowling behind the stumps.
Ollie Pope, the wicketkeeper, dove to catch a too-low edge, but he still managed to get his hands underneath it.
Third umpire Joel Wilson was asked to make the call because he was unsure about the catch as well. Wilson called it out after replaying it numerous times, forcing Saud to leave and putting Pakistan in dangerous pursuit.

However, social media users think otherwise. They condemned the decision on Twitter.
Have a Look at netizens’ reactions.

There is no way some part of ball hasn't hit ground here.
