Shami to Labuschagne, FOUR, full delivery around off, and finally Labuschagne finds the middle of his bat. He's been very scratchy out there. Hasn't been easy either with India bowling well. This isn't too bad from Shami either as he pitches it up on off stump. That's how he got him in the first innings.
