Ashes LIVE updates: Umpire gone BONKERS, gives Ben Stokes LBW OUT- In an unbelievable incident in Sydney test, the on-field umpire gave Ben Stokes lbw out but the replay showed the ball no way near the feet. It was neither touching the bat but rather went on to hit the stumps. Much to everyone’s surprise, the bails remained intact over the stumps despite a huge in swing from the Aussie medium pacer.

The incident took the place during the 31st over bowled by Chris Green to Ben Stokes. He appealed to the umpire and he raised his hands. The incident prompted Stokes to quickly ask for a referral. The review call turned in his favour as the ball was hitting the stumps.
Should a law be introduced called ‘hitting the stumps’ after the ball has hit them but not dislodged the bails? What do you think guys? Let’s be fair to bowlers! 😜😬😋@shanewarne#AshesTestpic.twitter.com/gSH2atTGRe
