Holder to Crawley, no run, WI review for LBW. Looks optimistic with Crawley having stepped down the pitch. It's going down leg with the angle, as ball-tracking shows. Even if it was crashing into leg-stump, the impact was over three metres from the stumps, so it would've stayed with umpire's call. Crawley advanced and tried whipping this away, but was late on it with Holder slanting it in
