Bowled off a wide

It can't be possible to be bowled off a wide obviously but, for a few seconds it happened today in England's 5th game v Sri Lanka. Owais Shah bowled one down the leg side to Sangakarra, who missed it and was bowled around his legs as the ball turned. Rudi Koertzen signalled a wide much to the confusion of the players!

After consultation with the other umpire, the correct decision was given. I'm not sure if technology was used to come to the decision, but unfortunately another "human error" umpiring issue....
