WTC Final Live: Controversy Erupts Before Lunch, Aus Dominate Post Resumption

South Africa vs Australia, World Test Championship Final 2025 Day 2 Live Updates: Australia captain Pat Cummins completed a five-wicket haul to send South Africa eight down in the final match of World Test Championship 2023-25 at Lord’s in London. Three balls before the Lunch on Day 2, a controversial took place. A Beau Webster delivery got an inside edge of David Bedingham’s bat and nearly stopped in his pad. As Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey was going close to the batter to catch the ball, Bedingham collected the ball, which was in motion, and dropped it on the ground. The Australia wicketkeeper even appealed against it but umpires were unconvinced. As per the rules of cricket, the ball is considered dead once it gets lodged in the pad. But interestingly, the ball was in motion and it didn’t stop in the pad. (Live Scorecard)
