Root to Labuschagne, out Labuschagne Run Out!! Mix-up and gone! Australia have now lost half their side and Labuschagne is distraught, down on his knees. Drives a full delivery to mid-off and sets off for a single, Carey turns his back on him. Labuschagne is almost halfway down before turning around. Potts is quick to release the ball but the throw isn't spot-on. Jamie Smith does well to break the stumps and even a dive can't save Labuschagne. Labuschagne run out (Potts/Jamie Smith) 37(40) [4s-4 6s-1]
