Kane Williamson run out after colliding with Will Young

New Zealand’s Kane Williamson was run out in ugly fashion during the first Test against Australia at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Friday. The score was 12-1 when the Kiwi stalwart walked into the middle and the mishap took place a couple of balls later as he walked back without troubling the scorers.

Williamson pushed a ball straight to Marnus Labuschagne at mid-off and tried to snatch a single. Non-striker Will Young who was running from the same side of the pitch bumped into Williamson, who was ball-watching. Williamson wasn’t left with enough time to make his ground after the collision as a direct hit found the Kiwi number three well short of his ground.

Inserted, Australia were in a spot of bother. However, Cameron Green in his new number four role delivered his international Test-best 174 to guide the visitors to a competitive 383 in the first innings of the match.
