A no-ball triggered confusion here when the visiting side claimed Hardik Pandya's wicket in a dead-ball situation, turned down by the on-field umpires.
Pandya was on 19 when his mishit off a waist high full-toss went straight into Steve Smith's hands at cover.

It was raining by then and Pandya, without realising that it was a no ball, started walking back to the dressing room. Seeing a run-out opportunity, Smith threw to bowler Kane Richardson, who dislodged the bails with Pandya nowhere in sight. The Aussies appealed for a run-out but the umpires, after some deliberation, decided the ball was dead by the time the visiting team claimed a run out. Eventually, Pandya came back.
