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! Tossed up outside off, he leaned out to defend it, it runs off the middle of the bat behind him to Paine who grabs it with the one hand whips the bails off in the one motion, Henry's foot had just slid out of the crease

Lyon bowled six balls and beat the bat six times, hitting the stumps twice
