Philander sought a review and third umpire Richard Illingworth overturned umpire Aleem Dar's decision after lengthy analysis of slow motion replays showed the glove was not on the bat when the ball made contact.

Later Philander appeared to get into an argument with Australian players and Clarke rushed in.

"I was out of line," he said.

"There were two extremely passionate teams out there. Something was said to one of my teammates and I went to his defence."

Australia went on to win the match by 245 runs to clinch the series with 27 balls to spare.
