The first Test between New Zealand and Australia witnessed an unusual incident after former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was dismissed in a bizarre run-out at Basin Reserve in Wellington.

The senior pro, aiming to get off the mark, attempted to middle Mitchell Starc's ball towards the short mid-off to take a single. However, he accidentally collided with his partner Will Young in the follow-through, in what was a moment of madness. Marnus Labuschagne who was patrolling close to the short mid-off instantly took the ball and hit the stumps at the non-striker's end. Had it not been for the collision, Kane would have surely made it to the non-striker's end but that wasn't meant to be the case. NZ vs AUS: Kane Williamson gets run out for the first time in 12 years The veteran cricketer was not happy with his dismissal while walking back to the pavilion, not only because he was dismissed for a duck but also because he got run out for the first time in twelve years. The incident took place during the last ball of the third over when Kane Williamson was desperately looking to open his account. Will Young realized that it was risky, so he refused to respond to the partner's call. By then, Kane Williamson already covered half the pitch, forcing Will Young to get back to the striker's end. In the process, both cricketers were involved in an unexpected collision as Marnus Labuschagne's direct throw at the stumps brought Kane's innings to a close. New Zealand players failed to bring the best out of themselves in the first innings as they were skittled out for 179 in response to Australia's 383 in the first innings. The tourists have a good lead of 217 runs in the second innings. They ended the second day's play at 13 for the loss of two wickets.
