Sunil Gavaskar Left Fuming As Joe Root Survives Controversial DRS Call: 'No Way...'
"You're saying it was going to kiss the leg stump? There's no way. It was knocking the leg stump off. The only good thing is that India have not lost the review," Gavaskar said on commentary.
Similar sentiments were echoed by former England batter Jonathan Trott as well.
"I am flabbergasted. Having looked at that replay, I thought it was crashing into the inside part of the leg stump. Watching it in real time, I couldn't believe it was missing," Trott added on air.
Coming to the match, Washington Sundar picked up two crucial wickets with his off-breaks in the second session to leave England at 175 for 6 at tea on the fourth day of the third Test on Sunday.
Washington (2/13), who bowls off-breaks, cleaned up first-innings centurion Joe Root (40) to break England's 67-run stand for the fifth wicket with skipper Ben Stokes and then rattled the off stump of Jamie Smith (5) in the 47th over. England's lead is similar to their current second innings score.
At the break, Stokes was batting on 27 with Chris Woakes on 8 at the other end.
In the morning session, Mohammed Siraj struck twice while Akash Deep and Nitish Kumar Reddy took a wicket each as England reached 98 for 4 at lunch.
Earlier, India were bowled out for 387 in their first innings on Friday, matching England's total.

Mohd Siraj reveals mindset in Lord's thriller: 'I won't get out here'
Mohammed Siraj has been a vital part of the Indian cricket team, always giving his 100% for the side day in and day out, no matter the result. The pacer has not only been valuable with his lethal deliveries but has also served as a morale-booster for the entire team whenever the atmosphere called for lifting spirits. Whether it's his aggression on the pitch while attacking batters from different nations, or his emotional involvement in the game, Siraj's commitment has consistently stood out. His sentimental side was on display when he stepped up to contribute with the bat. He was one of the last batters remaining on the final day at Lord's against England, alongside Ravindra Jadeja, whose heroics had taken the match to the final session and the final wicket. However, Siraj was dismissed in the most unfortunate manner, after middling the ball, it bounced back onto the stumps, handing England a narrow 22-run win. "I was thinking that I wouldn't get out on the final day, but even after middling the ball, I eventually lost my wicket, which was very heartbreaking to experience given that the match depended on that wicket and how close the result was to tipping in either side's favour." he said. "I'm an emotional person and it took time to move on from the dismissal. However, then I though to my self that the series is not over and we still can come back from the tie which is giving me a boost for the future." he further added. Siraj on workload management Siraj also emphasized that he doesn't worry much about workload and just wants to give his all whenever the team needs him. "God has been kind to keep me fit to play for my country most of the time, and I don't really think much about the workload. I just feel that if I'm given an opportunity to play for the country, I have to give it my all so that when I go to sleep at night, I don't have any regrets in my mind," he said. Siraj shares laughs with Manchester United's Maguire While Siraj is usually laser-focused when on duty for Team India, he showed a lighter side when the squad visited Manchester United's Carrington training ground to meet the club's players. A Cristiano Ronaldo fan, Siraj was even seen doing the Portuguese star's iconic celebration. He also shared a few laughs playing cricket with United defender Harry Maguire.
