[Watch] Kane Williamson bats on despite getting bowled by Brydon Carse in NZ vs ENG 2024 2nd Test

England pacer Brydon Carse bowled a peach of a delivery to bowl Kane Williamson out in the ongoing second Test between New Zealand and England at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Friday, December 6. However, luck favored the Kiwi batter as it turned out to be a no-ball.

Carse's perfect delivery knocked over one of the best New Zealand batters. Carse failed to keep his landing foot behind the crease, and Williamson survived.

The incident occurred on the very first delivery of the 14th over of New Zealand's first innings. It was on the length around the off stump and pegged back in as it squared Williamson, who ended up playing it down the wrong line. The ball hit the top of the off stump.

Brydon Carse set off to celebrate the dismissal, only to find out to his dismay that he had overstepped, as umpire Adrian Holdstock stretched his right arm to signal the no-ball.

Williamson was batting on 20 off 24 deliveries at the time. With New Zealand already having lost a couple of wickets, Williamson surviving would certainly have been a huge relief for the hosts.

Brydon Carse compensates with a stunning grab to dismiss Rachin Ravindra

While Brydon Carse would have regretted bowling Kane Williamson out on a no-ball, the pacer seemed to have compensated for the error by taking a brilliant grab to send Rachin Ravindra back in the 18th over.

On the penultimate delivery of the over, Chris Woakes bowled a short-of-a-length delivery that got an inside edge off Ravindra's bat onto the thigh pad. The ball moved toward square leg and Carse, running in from short-midwicket, put in a full-length dive, getting his fingers underneath the ball to complete a brilliant catch to send the left-hander back to the hut.

Woakes claimed his first wicket of the innings as Ravindra was dismissed for just three runs while England lost their third wicket for 65 runs, with just a little over half an hour of play remaining in the opening day (December 6) of the second Test.
