Labuschagne hits fifty; Aus go past 200

December 26, 2024

Aus 208-2 (58 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Smith clips Jadeja for a single to square leg before Labuschagne steers the fifth ball past point for two runs.

The last ball is floated right up as Labuschagne plays a cracking drive through the covers for a four.

In the next over, Akash Deep has another confident shout for leg before wicket turned down against Smith. Rohit decides to take the DRS this time.

The ball swung sharply into Smith as he missed the flick. The ball tracker shows that the ball is going down to miss the leg stump as India lose their second review.

They didn't review a much closer appeal in Akash Deep's last over. That might have played on their mind as they took the DRS this time around but it turned out to be a poor call.

He gets a leg bye off the next after missing the clip off his pads and Labuschagne nudges the next to square leg for one.

Akash Deep gets some late away movement as Smith is nearly squared up but does well to defend it.

Labuschagne clips Jadeja off his pads for a single to raise Australia's 200, in the 58th over.

Jadeja drops short as Smith quick to pounce as he pulls it for a four. He jumps down the track next ball to loft it over the bowler's head for another boundary.
