Over 4.5 MG Johnson bowls a good length delivery to V Kohli, no runs, oh dear an easy run out has been messed up by the Aussies. Well plenty of words between Kohi and Haddin! This is terrible cricket from India. Kohli drives this on the up to Warner at mid off and sets off for a run that was never on. Vijay was standing where he was at his crease and Kohli who comes almost to the bowling end has to return back. Warner who stopped the ball with a dive came up with a poor throw to Haddin who had little chance of running out Kohli.
