Watch: Tim Paine misses an easy run-out chance against New Zealand

The ongoing first Test between Australia and New Zealand has been in the news for many reasons now – be it Tim Southee’s throw at the stumps, Neil Wagner’s brilliant low-catch to dismiss David Warner or Steve Smith’s one-handed stunner to dismiss Kane Williamson.

However, one incident further added in the list and that is none other than a missed run-out chance from Australia captain Tim Paine.

Australian bowlers continued to dominate on Day 3 in Perth as they bundled out New Zealand for 166 in the first innings.

Mitchell Starc was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up a fifer and finished with the figures of 5 for 52. Nathan Lyon also picked up a couple of wickets while Ross Taylor was the top scorer for New Zealand with 80 runs.

Tim Paine and the missed run-out

Australia Test captain Tim Paine once again came in the limelight for missing an easy run-out chance and thus gave New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman BJ Watling an early life on Day 3. This, however, did not affect much to Australia as Pat Cummins cleaned up the wicket-keeper batsman after some time.

Tim Paine was seen fumbling when Watling took off for a second run. He was in the middle of the pitch when Ross Taylor sent him back as Nathan Lyon has already collected the ball.
