Can someone explain why that wasn't out ? It showed the ball hitting the stumps ?

Hate this "umpires call" thing. If the umpire had given that out and the batsman had reviewed it, he'd be out.
If it's close (like half the width of the ball hitting), the decision stays with whatever the umpire said. The main reason for this approach is that the reviews are not supposed to take away the purpose of umpires completely, they're just supposed to put right clear mistakes.

Anyway, as I was saying at 14.23 yesterday, maybe I should change my prediction to the end of the day
Have we had a 2 day test before in this country?

If anyone says Ben Stokes has bowled badly in this match then they're a fool.

But I think, where it stays with the umpires decision, the team should not lose its review

Must have been a few over the years.
Yeah that's not a bad idea. Particularly as sometimes it can be down to 1 mm difference between the review being successful and the team getting the wicket and keeping the review, and the opposite.

They were saying on cricinfo "maybe it was when Caddick took 4 wickets in an over v West Indies" - can't remember if that was hone or away though
