Tempers started to flare in the ninth-wicket stand as time ticked away and England threatened to complete a great escape to rival that of 2009 in Cardiff.
Pat Cummins, ordinarily one of Australia's most unflappable players, fumed as both Overton and Leach took their time after being struck by deliveries.Overton asked for a replacement bat to be run out, while Leach's studious cleaning of his spectacles soaked up key seconds as Australia pressed for the two wickets required to retain the urn.
Tim Paine took the second new ball and threw it to Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Lyon before asking Labuschagne to roll his arm over. The youngest and most inexperienced member of the XI delivered a wicket with his fifth ball, which Leach fended to Matthew Wade at short leg after it fizzed out of the rough.Getty Images"To give Marnus a bowl was a very brave and ballsy decision but it paid off."
Paine described Labuschagne, who peeled off four consecutive half-centuries after stepping up as Steve Smith's concussion substitute at Lord's, as "someone we can build our team around in the future".
SMHsport It wasn’t that ballsy, Labuschagne should’ve been bowling earlier in the game on this dry wicket.
