Kane Williamson run-out for duck after mid-pitch collision

Wellington: Kane Williamson was unfortunate as he was run out in a bizarre fashion on Friday during the first Test between New Zealand and Australia at the Basin Reserve. Williamson had walked into bat with the score 12/1. The NZ stalwart punched the ball towards midd-off and took off for a run. Unfortunately, Will Young – who was the non-striker – was guilty of ball-watching.

Williamson ran straight into him and there was a mid-pitch collision. Marnus Labuschagne hit the stumps direct and Williamson found himself short of the crease. Williamson was dismissed without scoring. Here is the clip that shows what exactly transpired.

Earlier on day 1, Cameron Green rose to the occasion when Australia found themselves in a little bit of a pickle. Green hit a brilliant 174 to bail Australia out of a tricky spot.
