If the soft signal was Not Out the decision would have stayed Not Out surely.
With the soft signal being out it was always gonna be difficult to overturn although i believe there was 1 frame that distinctly showed the ball touching the ground. Wilson kept asking the video operator to repeatedly show that particular frame and i'm sure he thought the ball was PROBABLY touching the ground but didn't have the courage to overturn the decision as he was heard to repeatedly say "I think he has his fingers under the ball".
It was a tough one. I wanted Pakistan to win so probably a bit biased.
I think in these situations when the umpires arnt sure , they should just refer the decision upstairs and not give a soft signal at all. After all whats the point of giving a soft signal of out when they had doubt in the 1st place as they obviously had doubt as they conferred with each other.
