Josh Tongue was convinced he had Carey caught behind for 72 on day one of the third Test and called for DRS after the decision was turned down.

The stump microphones picked up a clear sound, with the sound-wave spiking, but the replay showed the noise before the ball passed Carey's bat and TV umpire Chris Gaffaney upheld the on-field decision.

Carey went to make a vital hundred and another 76 runs were added to Australia’s total of 326-8 before he was finally dismissed.

He later suggested there was “a bit a feather” and accepted he had cashed in “a bit of luck”.
