Shami’s master plan

Mohammed Shami bowled a drawn ball against Labushen before lunch. All his balls were around the good length spot. But after lunch, Shami came out with a different plan. He threw the ball forward to Labushen. The world number one batsman swung his bat to drive the ball but did not move his leg, leaving a long gap between bat and pad. The ball went from there and blew the off stump. Labushen played an inning of 26 runs.

Umpire’s call had saved earlier

Marnus Labuschagne would have been out in the very first session. There was a strong appeal against him for LBW off Shardul Thakur. But the umpire did not give out. After this Indian captain Rohit Sharma decided to take DRS. The ball was hitting the leg stump but Labushen narrowly survived due to the umpires’ call.
