THE STORY

During the first Ashes Test at Trent Bridge on July 12, 2013, England's Stuart Broad edged a delivery from Australia's Ashton Agar to first slip, where Michael Clarke caught the ball. Umpire Aleem Dar ruled 'not out,' and Broad chose not to walk, as Australia had no reviews remaining. Broad continued his innings, contributing 65 runs to England's 14-run victory.
