The ball lands right in-between the ropes and the ground. The third umpire has a view and calls it a boundary.
Boundary-check! The umpires have sent the decision upstairs and they are checking whether the ball landed directly on the boundary cushion. It seems that the ball landed just in front of the boundary cushion and the umpire signals a boundary.
