Annerie Dercksen's dismissal in the one -off Test between England and South Africa was "the right decision but the wrong process", according to former England bowler Alex Hartley .

England thrashed the Proteas by 286 runs in their final Test in Cape Town.

The match was clouded by confusion and frustration at the lack of decision review system (DRS) in place for the match.

Cricket South Africa decided not to use the system because of the cost involved.

In her post-match interview, England 's Bell said that her understanding was the umpires were checking for a bump ball, which is within their right. But it is difficult to comprehend how the umpires could not see on the field that it was a clean catch because it was not near the floor, and nobody seemed to dispute it. Viewers were unable to hear discussions between the umpires and third umpire, as sometimes happens in other cricket matches, football and rugby. BBC Sport has approached the ICC and CSA for comment..
