Kamindu Mendis arrived at the crease for the middle session on Day One of Australia's second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle and appeared to be caught behind off a delivery from Nathan Lyon.

The Aussie spinner seemingly claimed his 550th Test wicket, with umpire Joel Wison raising his finger to signal out.

While Australia celebrated the catch, Mendis, adamant that he had not clipped the ball, signalled for a review.

But the umpire was forced to overturn his decision after UltraEdge replays showed that there was a clear and substantial gap between Mendis' bat and the ball with snicko showing no spike.

Why fans are hitting out at a cricket umpire AGAIN after 'shock' moment during Australia's second Test against Sri Lanka

Can't fault Joel for being consistent. He has shown some improvement tho with less overturns lol
