Pretty much. The third umpire was looking to see when the second bail was removed but Smith looked in to me, just.

I always thought that one bail out of it's groove was sufficient?

Another match drawn by Lancs.

The first bail was out of its groove before Bairstow took the ball in his glove so it has to be discounted. If he had dislodged both bails before taking the ball he would have had to remove a stump from the ground.

So many runs conceded to the short ball.

Murphy's doing a Wood - never hit a six and now has 3.

The first bail was knocked out before the ball arrived so doesn't count. At that point you have to dislodge the other one or take a stump out.

Yeah; I wasn't counting the first bail. And I was at work, so I didn't see the incident on the telly. But in a normal, run of the mill stumping/run out, is one bail removed sufficient?

yes.

You'll sometimes see a fielder just knock one bail off when the batsman is out by a mile or has given up.

I was hoping we might have had a 30 or 40 run lead earlier on. So much for that.
