Marnus Labuschagne 17(28)
10.5
Jadeja to Labuschagne, out Lbw!! As soon as the ball hit the pad, Jadeja knew he had his man. Marnus knew he was a goner too. He stayed back to this quicker delivery that pitched around middle and leg and turned away. Marnus was bending his knees a bit to tackle low bounce but he should have been forward to this. Marnus played well inside the line to miss this and it was an easy call for umpire Nitin Menon. Huge blow for Australia. Labuschagne lbw b Jadeja 17(28) [4s-3]
10.4
Jadeja to Labuschagne, no run, and as Jadeja bowls middle and leg, Marnus defends with a straight bat

5.6
Ashwin to Labuschagne, no run, Marnus defends but this kept a tad low
4.6
Shami to Labuschagne, FOUR, and now he plays with soft hands to ensure the outside edge rolls all along the ground past gully. Shami got this to hold its line after pitch, Marnus was expecting the ball to come into him further
4.5
Shami to Labuschagne, no run, Shami probing around the off stump, Marnus equal to the task
4.4
Shami to Labuschagne, no run, bit of a stylish, yeah I had that in control defence
4.3
Shami to Labuschagne, FOUR, oh shot! Confident punch drive. When has Marnus not looked confident? That's a feature about him. Full and swinging away, threat of nicking off to the cordon but doesn't stop Marnus from trying to access the cover region

2.3
Shami to Labuschagne, no run, great escape for Marnus. We have seen the Aussie batters try to defend and the ball sneaking under the bat quite a bit this game. This was a length delivery that kept just a tad low, luckily for him the finger didn't go up. Looked very close because impact was marginal on off stump. Marnus survives only because the ump gave him the benefit of doubt
2.2
Shami to Labuschagne, no run, outswinger outside off stump, ignored
