And two balls later, the Aussies' worst nightmare became true as after Warner clipped Matt Henry towards mid-wicket to take a single, the on-field umpire Dar pulled him over to the other side and indicated that his run wouldn't count and his side were going to be handed a five-run penalty. And after umpire Dar gave the signal, of Australia being handed a penalty, a clearly infuriated Warner lost his temper and questioned Dar's decision in disbelief, getting into a mild verbal altercation of sorts. The umpire also informed Warner that the single he took would be considered invalid, owing to the offence.

The situation did flare down eventually, however, with both parties - Dar and the Australians - moving on with the game without making a huge fuss out of it. Interestingly, the five runs were added to New Zealand's first innings total, increasing it to 256 from 251. But it was to no avail, as they were bowled out for just 136 in the 2nd innings and ended up losing the Test by 279 runs and the series 3-0.
