The Ashes 2025-26: 10 moments that led to Australia taking a 3-0 lead over England to retain the urn

Australia were on 245-6 and Carey was on 72 when England thought they had caught him behind Tongue. Referee Ahsan Raza rejected the appeal and England immediately took it up for review.

Despite the huge sound from the Snicko technology, TV umpire Chris Gaffaney did not overturn the call because the ball appeared to be far from the bat when the sound was created.

It was later revealed that this was an error by the Snicko operator using the microphone used on the bowler’s side instead of the striker’s side.

BBG Sports, which owns Snicko, admitted blame and there was further controversy over the technology the following day, involving England goalkeeper Smith.

Carey, meanwhile, scored a crucial century on home soil as Australia posted 371.
