Anderson to Labuschagne, out Caught by Harry Brook!! Brainfade for Marnus Labuschagne. He's slapped a short and wide delivery straight into the hands of backward point.

Australia were intent on scoring runs at a much quicker rate post tea and that could possibly be the only reason for Labuschagne's attacking approach. He timed it well but got the placement horribly wrong. Labuschagne c Harry Brook b Anderson 30(51) [4s-5]
