Both balls are considered pocketed.
Jude is correct. The ruling would be, if you couldn't move either ball, without the other falling in, they are both considered 'pocketed'.

Here's the BCA rule:
3.33 JAWED BALLS
If two or more balls are locked between the jaws or sides of the pocket, with one or more suspended in air, the referee shall inspect the balls in position and follow this procedure: he shall visually (or physically if he desires) project each ball directly downward from its locked position; any ball that in his judgement would fall in the pocket if so moved directly downward is a pocketed ball, while any ball that would come to rest on the bed of the table is not pocketed. The balls are then placed according to the referee?s assessment, and play continues according to specific game rules as if no locking or jawing of balls had occurred.
