WATCH: Tom Blundell Walks Back After An Unavailability Of DRS At Headingely

In the ongoing third test match between England & New Zealand, an unsual incident was witnessed on the second day. In-form Kiwi wicketkeeper Tom Blundell was dismissed via LBW. Everything was usual till this moment, but the batter couldn't take a review. Actually, the Decision Review System (DRS) wasn't available due to which, the batter had to walk back disappointed. 

This happened on the third delivery of the 96th over. English bowler Matty Potts' delivered a very full and angled in delivery, which swung as well. Blundell missed the flick and was beaten on the inside edge, rapped on the back leg adjacent to the sticks. The English went up in an appeal and umpoire Richard Kettleborough raised his finger. Blundell couldn't review the decision since the DRS wasn't available. 

At first look, it seemed like if DRS was available, the on-field umpire would have to reverse his decision. Tom Blundell was dismissed after scoring 55 runs and etching a partnership of 120 runs for the 6th wicket with Daryl Mitchell.
