The almost comical run out of Kane Williamson for a second-ball duck was one of many setbacks suffered by New Zealand on the second day of the first Test on Friday as they fell 217 runs behind Australia.
That was until the very end of the day when Australia batted for a second time after passing up the chance to make New Zealand follow on.
Tim Southee dismissed Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne to have Australia 13-2 in its second innings after it had led by 204 on the first.
At stumps, Usman Khawaja was five not out and nightwatchman Nathan Lyon was six not out.
