how did you not pay attention
Now the question is that when 0 had come on the timer then why the attention of the umpires did not go on it. The on-field umpire can miss once but these things are very clear in front of the third umpire. Then how come the third umpire didn’t see the timer and gave the review. Saha Could only score four runs.
