Well Ian Botham has said an interesting thing on Sky basically stating that there was about 15 minutes after the wicket of Cook and the ball being changed so it must have happened then if anything did happen because the umpires get given the ball when a wicket falls.

For the record Botham doubts anything happened as the cameras didn't pick anything up in that time and if something did happen it would be unlikely to have been missed with so many cameras in the ground.

It would be nice if there was a statement about the ball condition from an ICC spokesman but i very much doubt there will be in the coming days.
