Carey was on 72 when he tried to cut the ball from Josh Tongue which bounced past the left-hander. England’s slip cordon was convinced he had heard the noise and immediately appealed, but umpire Ahsan Raza had no effect.

England bowling coach David Secker called for improvements in technique.

“There was clearly an increase but it was either early or late,” he said. “Our boys are really confident that they have hit, Jamie Smith behind the stumps is not the kind of guy who would be like that unless he thought so.

“But you’ve got the technology. We’re pretty confident he hit, but he would be the one to ask. He looked guilty. That’s the technology and I think they need to make sure it’s working better than that. Even in the case of Patty Cummins, it looked like something was off.”

Speaking on Australia’s Channel 7, former international umpire Simon Taufel called it an “amazing” incident that he had never seen before.

“DRS was implemented and for the third umpire to overturn a not out decision, we would have to see a clear deflection from the bat, or we would have to see a spike next to the bat or behind a frame of the bat,” Taufel said. “The thing that was confusing for everyone here was that the spike happened at least a few frames earlier with the bat, which was surprising.”

He further added: “What was interesting in this particular case and in my experience, I have never seen this kind of spike happen when the bat hits the pad or something like the ground or the ball hits the pad.

“There’s nothing else there, there’s nothing there at all, so my gut feeling from my experience on the field and as a TV umpire tells me that I think Alex Carey really hit that ball and the technology calibration is not quite right to get the result he was looking for.”
