Manchester: Joe Root kept England’s hopes alive by dismissing Australia’s centurion Marnus Labuschagne till tea on the fourth day of the rain-affected fourth Ashes Test. By the tea break, Australia had scored 214 runs losing five wickets, trailing England by 61 runs. Mitchell Marsh is playing by scoring 31 runs and Cameron Green is supporting him by scoring three runs. Play could not start after tea due to rain and the umpires declared stumps. Rain is forecast for the whole day in Manchester on Sunday as well.
Despite incessant rain, play began at 2.45 pm Manchester time. Australia started playing with 113 runs for four wickets. A 103-run partnership between Labushen and Mitchell Marsh seemed to shatter the home team’s hopes of winning the match. Only 29 overs could be played in the whole day.

Labushen played an inning of 111 runs and if Australia draws this match then it will retain the Ashes title. This is Labushen’s 11th Test century and second hundred on foreign soil. 15 minutes before the tea session, Labushen handed over a catch to wicketkeeper Johnny Bairstow by touching the bat on the off-spin ball of the occasional bowling root. Root bowled in bad light as the umpires stopped the fast bowlers from bowling. During this, Labushen got life on 93 runs. Jack Crowley could not take his catch in the slip. Taking advantage of Jeevandar, Labushen completed his century but could not stay at the crease for long.
