Watch: Stokes’ catch – out or not out?

The catch was not perceived to be clean according to law 33.3 of the MCC.

The law states: “The act of making a catch shall start from the time when the ball first comes into contact with a fielder’s person and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control over both the ball and his/her own movement.”
