My understanding is in a stumping or run out, the benefit goes with the batsman. Either way i'm pretty sure having nothing conclusive is pretty ******* important when deciding to give a bloke out.
I don't know if there are official guidelines for third umpires either. Benefit of the doubt to the batsman has always been a convention but is not in the rules. I would have given that out on balance of probabilities but it wasn't clear cut.

Such a shame he hit it. Would have been awesome seeing half the Pakistan side get sent off the ground for tampering with the equipment in the middle of the game.

I mean, it's pretty simple in this case isn't it? Do you think something was grounded behind the line? If so, not out. If not, out.

I thought it was out.
