Australia vs England, 4th Test, The Ashes, 2025-26 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Tongue to Labuschagne, out Caught by Root!! Second time in the Test Labuschagne has been dismissed by Tongue. Both times he was caught at first slip. First innings he perished while driving and this time he falls while trying to defend. This is a good nut! Good length ball, right in the channel and straightens a tad, Labuschagne is not fully forward as he looks to defend, he pushes a little and the outside edge goes low to Root, who bends down and scoops it up. Labuschagne's ordinary run continues.. Another failure. Labuschagne c Root b Tongue 8(18) [4s-1]
