McSweeney looking much comfortable now. He has done well to play out a tough spell from Bumrah with the new ball and things will only get easier from now on.
He keeps out the first few balls from Siraj before he gets the fourth ball off the outside half towards gully for a single and Labuschagne keeps out the last two balls, as he is yet to get off the mark from 18 balls faced.
Play has stopped at Adelaide Oval as the floodlights have gone off. But they are back within a few seconds.
McSweeney mistimes the cut shot off Rana before he leaves the next two balls as the pacer goes wide.
A beauty from Rana as he gets the fuller length ball to swing into the right-hander, who plays inside the line and is beaten.
Meanwhile, the flood lights have gone off again to halt play temporarily at the Adelaide Oval. But again the lights are back within a couple of minutes.
Labuschagne finally off the mark with a couple of runs from the 19th ball faced as he clips Siraj through square leg.
A couple of balls later, he makes most as he glances Siraj fine on the leg side for a four.
Ashwin, who was struck on the foot while batting is back on the field. He has to make a long chase after Labuschagne flicked Siraj through midwicket to pick up three runs.
