• South Africa ​batter Marques Ackerman attempted to review ⁠a caught decision but ⁠was told by umpires RichardIllingworth and Richard Kettleborough that ⁠he ‌was past the stipulated 15 seconds to do so.

• Prince was seen shouting at ⁠the umpires that Ackerman had signalled he ​would review within ‌the time allowed.
