Seems like it touched the ground
I can't believe how the third umpire failed to see that the there was no finger under the ball and it clearly touched the ground!
Atrocious from Aleem. It really came down to his soft signal which was wrong.

They can retain the review.
I think it is more Aleem Dar's fault. Because Joe Wilson has to conclusively prove it hit the ground.
Wasted
Well, somebody with functioning eyes could see that the fingers were never under the ball. It was clear evidence to overturn the on-field decision.
Full ball has to touch the ground. That view has to be available. Seen many many number of times similar decisions going fielding team's way.

Whats a full ball. Fully out of hand? Ball is spherical so there will only be a small area of ball touching the ground.
You need to have fingers under the ball for a catch to be declared legal. If any part of the ball is touching the ground then it is NOT OUT!
That is because of the soft decision rule. if Aleem dar had given it not out, That would have stayed not out. They have to take out soft decision out.
Aleem Dar was really poor this whole test. He gave a record number of howlers on day one as well.
Erasamus is anyway a poor umpire.
Pathetic umpiring this whole game.
The technology was there to see if the ball touched the ground or not. It clearly did.
Mark Butcher is criticizing Pakistan's attempt to play those balls even after England telegraphing them. Yup. Either you play full blooded hook or bail out. Not these half baked tickle down.

Aleem should never ever officiate a Pakistani game, ever.
He is clearly over-compensating especially in LBW calls
ICC has to take him behind the woodshed. Discreetly.
Because from the top angle you cannot see that when it is between gloves. or hands. We have seen so many controversial soft signal calls like this. They have to get rid of it. otherwise this will continue happening.
There is no other way, really hope the team management has the sense to tell the players that. These are not batsmen that they can get anywhere close to the 64 runs needed by blocking and waiting for the right delivery.Pakistani batsmen now need to play their shots. Apply some pressure.
Alarm daar should be removed as an umpire for good. So many wrong decisions. His focus is lost , old age. By colouring hair and beared can't hide his age by giving wrong decisions. Aleem can you hear me? Please retire.
Can any of the last 3 bat?
Twitter has exploded against Aleem Dar
Interesting suggestions from Aleem Dar that the batsman was trying to play a shot for that last ball...

Are you watching cricket for the first time? It seems so because most people who watch cricket would know that when you duck under the ball or take evasive action then it is deemed as playing a shot. That's why leg-byes are given if the ball hits the helmet/body while a batter is ducking/taking evasive action for a short ball and batters run.
Man, it was totally clear that the ball touched the ground at the point he was about to get his hands up from the ground. There was further confirmation when his gloves got off the ground that none of his fingers were UNDERNEATH the ball; he had wrapped them around the side of the ball and had nothing on the bottom of the ball.
Moreover, Soft signal thing has been abolished in these cases; just read on Cricinfo. Soft signal only matters if the technology is not available. Otherwise the third umpire has to make a decision based on technology and not consider what the on field umpires said.
