Solution
- He sits off the field, with a television replay monitor. If an on-field umpire is not sure of a decision concerning either a run out or a stumping attempt, he may signal for the third umpire to view a television replay.
- The third umpire views a replay, in slow motion if necessary, until he either reaches a decision or decides that he cannot make a dear decision. He signals the result to the on-field umpire, who must then abide by it.
- If the equipment fails, the replay umpire signals no decision. The replay umpire cannot be used for any decisions other than run outs and stumping.
