Funny moment to tease the umpire
An interesting incident happened during the match when Mark Adair dismissed England’s experienced batsman Jason Roy in his very first over. Adair appealed after seeing the wicketkeeper taking the catch, but the on-field umpire rejected it. After the decision was changed in the review, Adair humorously pretended to wipe the umpire’s glasses with his jersey. Seeing this scene the commentators and spectators started laughing.

Reviewed and decision overturned!
