Twitter reacts to third umpire giving reprieve to Ben Stokes in 'controversial' circumstances
Soft signals, umpires' call and now benefit of the doubt, these things have certainly not gone India's way in the white-ball series against England. Today, Ben Stokes got away with a close run-out as the third umpire gave him the benefit of doubt in what looked out with the bat on the line.
Terrible decision
What was the soft signal by the field-umpire? #BenStokes @ICC #EngVsInd #INDvENG #ICC #BCCI pic.twitter.com/ww81yH9oHL

That was out !!! No part of bat was touching over the line . It was just showing that it was over ! Just my opinion !! #IndiavsEngland

Can't agree more
The Indian umpires have been too scared to get on the wrong side of a report by the visitors. No reason to give any benefit to Stokes there, simply nothing past the line.

LOL
Third umpire surely has Ben Stokes in his #Dream11 team.

I may be English, but I thought Ben Stokes was out there. That was such lazy running. #INDvENG

Absolutely
I REPEAT, BEN STOKES IS THE LUCKIEST CRICKETER IN THE WORLD. WE ALL KNOW HOW HES BEEN HELPED BY UMPIRES IN THE PAST.
