Zampa to Kohli, out Shankar Run Out!! Oh no! Got to feel for Shankar. He was looking so good and has to walk back for no mistake of his. Tossed up delivery and Kohli absolutely crunches the drive back at Zampa, who bends down and gets a finger before the ball crashes into the stumps. Shankar was backing up and he had very little time to react and get back in. The stumps had lit up before he could slide his bat back in. Unfortunate way to go but Australia won't be complaining.
