Marnus Labuschagne 26(62)
24.1
Shami to Labuschagne, out Bowled!! Shami strikes with his very first ball after lunch, and he does so with a delivery that's pitched right up. He was maybe a touch guilty of being on the shorter side in the first session. This one, though, is a ripper. Full ball just outside off, not far from a half-volley and so Labuschagne can't resist the drive. He looks to go down the ground, but the ball jags in sharply. Goes right through the gate to clip the off stump. India have separated this pair quickly. Labuschagne b Shami 26(62) [4s-3]
22.6

20.6

17.4
Thakur to Labuschagne, no run, another loud shout for LBW, India get together and they've reviewed once again, Labuschagne fell across on the clip, but is this going down leg with the angle? No bat and UltraEdge confirms it, looks high though and Labuschagne has got a good stride forward. It's bouncing past the leg-stump and India lose a review. The bounce saving Labuschagne here - nipped back in from a length and caught Labuschagne in the crease, he ended up playing across the line and missed

15.5
Thakur to Labuschagne, no run, appeal for LBW and Shardul looks very convinced, he manages to convince Rohit into reviewing. Is it swinging down leg? Or was it too high? NO bat for sure and UltraEdge confirms it. Onto ball-tracking: It's struck Labuschagne just above the knee-roll and he's on his heels, it's only clipping the leg-stump, so will stay with umpire's call. India will not lose a review though, the nip-backer and burst past Labuschagne's inside edge as he pressed forward
