The non striking batsman should just run through him.

Great game between India and NZ, Ashwin was up to his old tricks bowling in front of the ump and getting in the path of the batsman as he left the wicket area.
Kiwis hung on with great grit thanks to debutant Ravindra and spinner Patel which must have annoyed the Indians no end having players with Indian heritage saving the game.
Umpires held their ground well when offering the light to the kiwis, and didn't buckle under pressure to keep playing.
Can't beat test cricket... Its still the premier format.

So maniac McGowan now calls off the Perth 5th Test due to his covid isolation requirements.

Fine, you moron.  I'd make certain you'd NEVER get another Test.

I'm betting MCG x 2

Carey the likely keeper now with Inglis just missing out....probably in better form with the bat and also has that leadership aspect which gives the selectors another option if Cummins doesnt work out with Smith being a more controversial choice.
Maybe the only reservation I have about Carey is it adds another leftie to the batting order which I'm sure Broad and Anderson wont mind but I dont expect any grassy seaming wickets to be served up which should negate the English duo.

Confirmed, Carey gets the nod!

I'm with Warnie...based on the last 12 months,  HTF does Starc get a start!?!
