Josh Inglis may have pulled off one of the great escapes during the second ODI against Sri Lanka after a contentious stumping call.
The wicket-keeper batter played and missed a delivery from Wanindu Hasaranga with Kusal Mendis taking the stumps and celebrating with the decision sent to the third umpire.
The replay showed Inglis' back foot was out of his crease as the ball passed but he made an attempt to shuffle back.

The decision was down to a millimetre with the third umpire ruling Inglis did have part of his foot behind the line.

Former England batter Ravi Bopara wasn't impressed.
"I can't say I agree with that decision. Every angle we've been given, that looks out," he said on the coverage.
Australia's Simon Katich also thought he should've been given out.
"I love watching Josh Inglis bat but I thought he was going to be sent back to the pavilion," he said.
The decision isn't impact Sri Lanka too much with Inglis hitting on four more runs before he was clean bowled by Dunith Wellalage the next over.
