Blackcaps bowler Blair Tickner has been robbed of a wicket in New Zealand's victory over Ireland, after a towel fell out of his back pocket.
As Ticker, 28, was bowling to Ireland's Simi Singh, when a sweat towel stored in the back of his pants dislodged.
The ball took the edge of Singh's bat through to captain Tom Latham behind the stumps, which should have been the end of his innings for 11 at 172/6.
However, Singh stood his ground, arguing the fall of Tickner's towel should result in the ball being called dead and therefore his dismissal should be overturned.
Tickner was picked up by onfield microphones telling the umpire: "I know the rule, but if the same thing happens and I get hit for six, that's not gonna be called a dead ball to take away the runs."
Cricket's law 20.4.2.7 states that "either umpire shall call and signal dead ball when... the striker is distracted by any noise or movement or in any other way while preparing to receive or receiving a delivery.
"This shall apply whether the source of the distraction is within the match or outside it."
Singh was eventually run out for 16 by Jacob Duffy and Mitchell Santner, as Ireland were bowled out for 216.
And despite the Blackcaps chase beginning poorly - losing Martin Guptill and Will Young for golden ducks to start the innings - half-centuries from Latham and Finn Allen, as well as an unbeaten 42 from man-of-the-match Michael Bracewell saw the side home by three wickets.
New Zealand leads the three-match series 2-0 with a dead rubber finale to be played on Friday (NZ time), before three T20s on the Blackcaps tour of Ireland.
