Before the start of the 16th over in India’s run-chase against USA, the scoreboard read 35 runs off 30 balls needed. The situation was getting a bit tense. But the umpires were seen having a conversation, first among themselves and then with USA’s stand-in captain Aaron Jones.

In the end, India won the match by 7 wickets with 10 balls to spare.
