That one escaped from the sport section and was on the news front page last night.  Here it is without the smartphone-video-of-a-TV-screen-vision: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/cricket/57785924

I think the toss back in bounds has been done often enough that they are all familiar with the idea.
It was a pretty close call on getting the foot off the ground before making contact with the ball though. I wonder how long the video ref took looking at it?

still on ground --> ??? --> definitely airborne
