Twitter reacts to third umpire ruling Root ānot outā despite latter confessing to Stokes that he ādid not hit itā
Root clearly said "there was not bat"

Third umpiring calls have been the talk of the ongoing India and England Test, and in the evening of Day 2, the TV Umpire, yet again, was in the limelight. Shamshuddin overturned a Joe Root LBW decision citing āinside-edge, despite the batsman himself confessing that he missed the ball.
The THIRD UMPIRE, says NOT OUT!

There was no inside edge!
That mid-off angle most def pointed out that it hit the pad first. Root himself wasn't sure until the 11th second whether to take the review. Generally, if there's an inside edge batsman go for the DRS straight away. #INDvsENG_2021 pic.twitter.com/dsQvfvakzr

You read his lips!
The lip reading of the words āI didnāt hit itā and the delay in reviewing probably give it away but there is no way the third umpire could give that! #INDvsENG_2021
