Low voltage batteries are incorporated in each of the bails and stumps.

The wickets come fitted with LED. The bails also have an in-built sensor than can determine if a wicket is broken, in just 1/1000th of a second

They are made of composite plastic and the LEDs glimmer at the slightest impact with the ball.

The stumps and bails illuminate when dislodged. When the wicket is broken, the bails flash bright red LED light.

Each bail costs as much as an iPhone.
