performing umpires? Billy Doctrove has played the role of mannequin for most of this Test, "not-outting" appeals and referring decisions to the third umpire, but the Dominican official sprung to life late on day four. Unfortunately for Doctrove, who had previously spared Kevin Pietersen and Simon Katich despite the weight of evidence suggesting both were out, the awakening involved an incorrect lbw decision against Bopara when struck too high on the pad by Ben Hilfenhaus.
