Kane Williamson playing his 100th test match at Hagley Oval Stadium in New Zealand. In the first innings, he scored 17 off 37 with 2 boundaries and got out by Australian pace bowler Josh Hazelwood.
31.5 Josh Hazelwood to Kane Williamson, OUT! LBW! Josh Hazelwood is causing havoc at the Hagley Oval! He gets the big fish, Kane Williamson now and the hosts are in all sorts of trouble. This is a peach of a delivery as it is full, in the middle, and gets it to shape in sharply, Kane Williamson stays in his crease to block but plays down the wrong line to get hit on the pads. A huge shout for the LBW, and up goes the finger. It looks plumb and only an inside edge can save him there. Williamson has a chat with his partner and takes the review, UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Kane starts walking back.
