The match took an unsavoury twist as the umpires changed the ball midway through the afternoon session after becoming unhappy about how its condition had altered. At the end of the 56th over, bowled by Danish Kaneria, Darrell Hair went over to Billy Doctrove and was seen pointing at the quarter seam. The fourth umpire, Trevor Jesty, then brought out a box of balls and the England batsmen, Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood, were allowed the choose the next one to be used, in accordance with the Laws.
To confirm that this had been the umpires' decision to change the ball five runs were added to England's total. Soon afterwards, Bob Woolmer was seen marching towards the match referee's office before returning to the dressing room where he talked to Waqar Younis.
