{{Main|third umpire|Umpire Decision Review System}}
[[Cricket]] also uses an instant replay. It is used for run-outs, stumpings, doubtful catches, and whether the ball has crossed the boundary for a six or short of a four.

The [[International Cricket Council]]<ref>[http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/362178.html Trial Playing Condition - Review of Umpiring Decisions]</ref> decided to trial a referral system during the [[India national cricket team|Indian]] tour of [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] through late July and August 2008. This new referral system allows players to seek reviews, by the [[third umpire]], of decisions by the on-field umpires on whether or not a [[batsman]] has been [[dismissal (cricket)|dismissed]]. Each team can make two {{citation needed|date=March 2019}} unsuccessful requests per [[innings (cricket)|inning]], which must be made within a few seconds of the ball becoming [[dead ball (cricket)|dead]]; once made, the requests cannot be withdrawn. Only the batsman involved in a dismissal can ask for a review of an "out" decision; in a "[[not out]]", only the captain or acting captain of the fielding team. Players can consult on-field teammates in both cases, but signals from off the field are not permitted.

The player with a 'T' sign can make a review request; the [[umpire (cricket)|umpire]] will consult the TV umpire, who will review TV coverage of the incident before relaying back fact-based information. The field umpire can either reverse his decision or stand by it; he indicates "out" with a raised finger and "not out" by crossing his hands horizontally from side to side in front and above his waist three times.

The TV umpire can use regular [[slow-motion]] or [[high-speed camera]] angles (usually called [[ultra-motion]]) or [[super-slow replays]], the mat, sound from the [[stump mic]]s, and approved ball tracking technology, which refers to [[Hawk-Eye]] technology that would only show the TV umpire where the ball pitched and where it hit the batsman's [[Leg Before Wicket|leg]] and it is not to be used for predicting the height or the direction of the ball. [[Snickometer|Snicko]] and [[Hot Spot (cricket)|Hot Spot]] can also be used.
