4th Test: Labuschagne Makes Fifty After Bumrah Blitz Leaves Aussies In Trouble
Boxing Day Test: Top-order batter Marnus Labuschagne stood tall for Australia by hitting an unbeaten 65 after Jasprit Bumrah’s mesmerising spell left the hosts’ dazed on day four of Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
At tea, Australia are 135/6 in 49 overs and their lead over India stands at 240 runs. It was a session where India clawed back in the game, thanks to Bumrah taking out Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Alex Carey in quick succession, and become the fastest India pacer to reach 200 Test wickets.
At 91/6, after being 80/2 at one point, Australia were in all sorts of trouble, but Labuschagne and Pat Cummins (21 not out) survived very top-class bowling to stitch an unbroken partnership of 44 runs and keep Australia steady in their pursuit of setting a daunting target for India, who were also hurt by Yashasvi Jaiswal dropping the catches of both set batters in the session.
