Prabath Jayasuriya to Travis Head, Full, well outside off, Travis Head gets a big stride to defend but then decides to pad it away, by keeping his bat behind the pad. There is an LBW shout, but it is turned down. Now, the thing to be noted here - was a shot played? If yes, the impact was miles outside off. If no, the impact does not matter.

Interestingly, Ball Tracking data says NO SHOT OFFERED but the projection says that the ball is not spinning in enough to hit the off stump. Review lost for Sri Lanka.
