Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Australia vs New Zealand, ICC World Test Championship 2019, 3rd Test

Brendan: "Why is that not a run-out, considering it came off the bat? I know a run was not being attempted, but if a defensive shot goes to bat-pad then is flicked back onto the stumps it's a run-out - does the wicketkeeper make a difference in the scorebook?" -- Apparently it does.

Henry: "Henry hit ball before Paine whipped the bails off. Should it be a run out rather than stumped? " -- No, because the batsman wasn't attempting a run

Innings break Lyon takes five! His first five-wicket haul at the SCG and his first against New Zealand. Australia will bat again. A superb performance from Lyon. He also dropped Phillips twice off his own bowling. But he was all over the Black Caps. They made a number of starts but no one went on like Labuschagne did for Australia. This was be a tricky hour for Australia's batsmen. Hemant will step in for the last hour.

Lyon to Henry, OUT, Has he been stumped after defending it? Paine is confident. He has been!
