New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell was run out in embarrassing fashion after casually failing to ground his bat in the second Test against England in Wellington.
After Tom Blundell hoicked a delivery from Jack Leach through midwicket, he and Bracewell looked to come back for a third as the ball was pursued by a limping Ben Stokes. Stokes quickly gathered the ball and launched a throw to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes, who proceeded to whip the bails off.
Bracewell, who had cruised back for the third run actually crossed the crease but failed to ground both his right foot and his bat. As a result, he was given out for just eight and Stokes and Foakes were left laughing and grinning at the dismissal.
