With Marnus Labuschagne batting, Australia is still in the driver’s seat
England's bowlers took three early wickets on Day 4 to stall Australia's push for victory in the second Ashes Test, despite an injury in the warm-up for captain Joe Root which prevented the English captain from taking the field for the start of play.
Resuming Sunday at 1-45 in its second innings, Australia lost opener Marcus Harris, Steve Smith and nightwatchman Michael Neser early, before a rally by first innings centurion Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head guided Australia to 134-4 at the break, with a lead of 371 runs.
At dinner, Labuschagne was 31 not out with Head on 45 from 44 balls.
