The Ashes 2019 series is an interesting cricket event not just because of scores and performances, but also because of some interesting moments that are taking place during the high-intensity clash between England and Australia. During the England vs Australia 3rd Test, England pacer Stuart Broad requested the third umpire to reserve decision of a boundary while talking to stump mic and the video of his interesting act is flooding social media with humorous responses. ENG 156/3(72.0) | Australia vs England Live Cricket Score 3rd Test Match. 

The incident occurred on the third day of England vs Australia third Test. After four overs into the day, Broad's bouncer delivery hit Marnus Labuschagne on his helmet and went for four runs. However, the on-field umpire signalled for a boundary instead of a leg-bye. When the replays showed the ball actually hit his helmet and not bat, Broad bent towards the stumps mic and said, "Can you take that 4 runs off please". Have a look at the video of the moment below.

What followed this was even more interesting as on-field umpire Joel Wilson obliged to England pacer's demand and reversed his decision. He signalled for a leg bye instead and four runs were taken off from Stuart Broad's bowling figures and Labuschagne's individual score. Cricket fans were excited to watch this hilarious episode and gave their reactions on social media. Have a look.
