Yes, but an umpire must change a mistaken decision promptly. It cannot be reopened whenever a player disagrees.
A call changed on the field
An umpire gives a batter out caught, then immediately sees that the ball reached the fielder after bouncing. The umpire corrects the decision straight away. That is different from a captain wanting the same appeal reconsidered later in the innings.
What happens to the score
The umpire communicates the final decision clearly to the players and scorers. The scorer records the outcome the umpires confirm rather than guessing from the first signal.
Do not wait too long
Formal decision reviews are governed by the playing conditions of the match. They should not be confused with the Law allowing an umpire to correct an immediate mistake.
These examples explain the general MCC Laws. International matches and local competitions can use different playing conditions. For an official decision, check the full law and the rules for your match.
