Jeepers...just checked in. Might as well be playing Tiripano as an opener. He wouldn't do any worse than Reggie.

Or get Mire to clobber the shine off the ball.

AC also mentioned the fitness issues for Mawoyo.

I still would've had him opening

How was that conclusive evidence?

Highlights the need for uniformity of DRS. The big teams get hotspot which is the most sensitive method of detecting edges. When that is not available they go to real time snicko. For some reason (probably financial) even RTS isn't available, in which case it goes to regular audio. In these cases, the umpire will always rule it out if there isn't any reason to think it was not out.

In fact, Kusal Mendis suffered the exact same fate vs Bangladesh in the Colombo Test back in March:

44.6 Mustafizur Rahman to Mendis, OUT, oh, beauty! The bowler goes up in a late appeal, after seeing the fielders behind excited. They have asked for a review for a caught-behind. Fuller ball, angling in, Mendis plays the angle but the ball straightens after pitching and goes to the wicketkeeper as the batsman sticks the blade out. The third umpire has a long hard look and deduces that there is a noise. It still seems touch and go but the on-field decision has been overturned. Not entirely sure if it is conclusive evidence, however

It was the exact same scenario here with Musakanda. But the umpires always give it out unless there is something else to explain the noise.
