"I've never seen that before."

This is as bad a run out as you'll ever see in international cricket.

Pakistan were pegged back by Australia on the third day of the second Test thanks to this bizarre run out from Mitchell Starc.

Azhar Ali was on strike when he edged the ball down to a vacant third man.

The ball trickled to the boundary, just falling short of the rope, with Starc chasing it down.

The two batsman - Azhar and Asad Shafiq - stopped mid-pitch, thinking the ball had gone for four, and started having a chat.

So Starc pinged the ball back and Tim Paine knocked off the bails, dismissing Azhar for 64.

You won't see many worse than that!
