Batsman misses his century after another umpiring error in World Cup semi-final

England batsman Jason Roy missed his century after umpire Kumar Dharmasena misjudged a delivery and gave him out. But it was later confirmed in the ultra edge that Jason Roy didn’t hit the ball which the umpire judged as out.

It was in the 20th over bowled by Pat Cummins which Jason Roy missed while hitting a shot and it went to wicket-keeper Alex Carey. Umpire Dharmasena showed the out signal while Jason Roy protested. But there was no review left for England to go to the third umpire. Jason Roy had to go on 85 but the ultra edge showed that he was not out.

Earlier in the tournament, Chris Gayle faced a similar situation when he was given out leg-before while it was later confirmed that he was not out. In yesterday’s semifinal between India and New Zealand, umpires failed to notice a fielding error.
