Cummins to Pope, out Caught by Labuschagne!! Blinder at 2nd slip. Is that the end of Pope's Test career for the foreseeable future? No wonder Marnus is so thrilled. One-handed screamer inches from the ground to his left. On a good length outside off, Pope gets forward to defend, open-face and it is dying on Marnus who had the weight on the other side, but dives to his left and plucks it out so cleanly. Superb stuff and a forlorn Pope walks off as Australia crowd around Marnus. Pope c Labuschagne b Cummins 17(29) [4s-2]
