You're responsible for counting each team's Unsuccessful reviews. Each team may have two per innings. Tell the on-field umpires as soon as a team has used up its allowance for the innings. The scoreboard must show how many reviews each team has left in the current innings.
| Category | Outcome | Counts towards the 2? |
|---|---|---|
| Successful | Decision reversed | No |
| Unsuccessful | Decision unchanged | Yes |
| Out, but for a different mode of dismissal | Decision unchanged | Yes |
| Unchanged – Umpire's Call (LBW) | Unchanged only because of umpire's call | No |
| No ball – no evaluation needed | Not out stands because it was a No ball | No |
| Made unnecessary by an umpire review on the same ball | Disregarded | No |
| Failure of technology (reinstated by Match Referee) | Unchanged | No |
Timing: a request must come within 15 seconds of the ball becoming dead (the bowler's end umpire prompts at 10 seconds); late requests are declined. No big-screen replays may be shown until the 15 seconds are up. A request can't be withdrawn once made.
