It is incorrect to say there is a clear inside edge. From front on, there is no visible deflection. From side on, a small horizontal white line appears on the edge of the bat before the ball reaches the bat. You can see this white mark if you freeze the Hot Spot vision one frame before the ball reaches the bat. It could be that the bat clipped the knee roll on the batsman’s right pad during the shot. I therefore believe there is not enough evidence for the third umpire to overturn the original decision.
