Ashes 2023: Fighting century from Marnus Labuschagne helps keep Australia alive in fourth test

Marnus Labuschagne produced what may end up being a match-saving knock but not everyone was impressed with his antics in the middle.

Smith lucky in catch controversy

Marnus Labuschagne says England players “weren’t happy” with his request to take a look at a replacement ball during his century at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Labuschagne’s 11th Test ton - his first in the UK - helped push the fourth Test into a fifth day as Australia sought to secure an Ashes-retaining draw with the assistance of Manchester’s weather.

Only one session - the middle one - was possible on day four, with Labuschagne and Mitch Marsh batting through most of it before the Queenslander fell minutes from tea to the part-time spin of Joe Root.

With England bowling a torrent of bouncers, the ball became deformed, leading the umpires to call for a different one.

Once the ball had been chosen, Labuchagne asked if he could inspect it. England players including captain Ben Stokes were unimpressed with Aussie batter doing so.

Labuschagne explained that he had wanted to check whether the ball would swing.

“They weren’t happy that I wanted to have a look at the ball,” Labuschagne said.

“But I just wanted to have a look at the ball because in this country it’s pretty clear, if you look at the ball once you can pretty much tell straight away what it’s gonna do. I looked at the ball and I was like, ‘well, this is gonna swing.’

“And yeah, they were obviously not very happy with that. But I said it to Ben out there. ‘Why do you want to look at the ball?’ he asked me and I said ‘to see if it’s gonna swing.’ Jimmy Anderson went first ball to me, it’s a big inswinger.

“So I think it just helps you prepare. I mean, you know what you’re facing.”

Labuschagne said it was a matter of attention to detail.

“I think it’s just being meticulous. I mean, for me, it was pretty common sense. Like, why would I not want to have a look at the ball, especially in England, overcast conditions?”

Root bowled after England was barred from using quick bowlers because of the light. England assistant coach Macrus Trescothick said he had been surprised with the umpires’ mandate.

“The umpires out in the middle deemed it was too dark and they’ve got to make that decision,” Trescothick said.

“It didn’t feel like it from where we were, but we’re 50m, 60m from the edge of the pitch. And tomorrow, if that’s what we’ve got, and that’s what we’re given, then that’s what we’ll take. Any opportunity that we can get out in the middle tomorrow we will be grabbing with both hands.”

Australia still trails by 61 runs heading into the fifth day.

ACCIDENTAL HERO

The extraordinary tale of Moeen Ali in this series rolls on. A guy who had to be called out of Test retirement missed the Lord’s match because of a damaged finger, proposed to elevate himself to first drop, and has ended up making important interventions with bat and ball. There appeared no plans for him to bowl any time soon on Saturday, but he was called unexpectedly into action when the umpires told England that it was too dim for pace. In came Moeen, the ultimate gap-filler.

ROOT REVIEW

But it was not Moeen who ended up making the critical breakthrough. With more rain on the horizon, both on Saturday and Sunday, Labuschagne and Marsh were making it harder for England to level the series. Enter the part-time spin of Root. He’s already created one chance with a quicker ball that had raced off Labuschagne’s edge and past Zak Crawley at slip, and then not long before tea Root struck for good. The ex-captain went up immediately and animatedly after the ball was snaffled by Jonny Bairstow, certain that Labuschagne had got some bat to one moving away from him. Umpire Nitin Menon turned down the appeal, but England went straight upstairs with Snicko ensuring Labuschagne was sent on his way

OVER AND OUT

After a delay of almost four hours, Jimmy Anderson bowled the first ball of the day, but not from the end named after him. And his spell was limited to just one over, with Chris Woakes replacing the veteran at the Statham End. It turned out Woakes had not been allowed to bowl to start the day after a stint off the field late on day three.

EASY TIGER

Australia should clearly have been playing for a draw, albeit runs were still important given the amount of time left in the match. So it was a touch surprising and perhaps alarming to see Marsh look to tonk a Woakes inswinger to cow corner from just the third over of the day. The all-rounder didn’t connect as he would have hoped, with the ball falling not far from Moeen Ali at deep midwicket. Marsh wisely reined things in a bit from there.

Recap how day four played out in our live blog below

Tim Michell

3.30AM: STUMPS, AUSTRALIA 5-214

Australia will start day five still trailing by 61 runs but closer to retaining the Ashes.

Marnus Labuschagne was the only wicket to fall on a rain-marred fourth day, caught by Jonny Bairstow off Joe Root not long after reaching his century.

Ben Stokes was forced to bowl spinners due to bad light to keep play going and Root was the hero for England when he drew an edge from Labuschagne which Bairstow caught after juggling.

Manchester’s rain meant just over two hours of play was managed.

Mitch Marsh and Cameron Green will resume Australia’s innings tomorrow, weather permitting of course.

3.25AM: DAY FOUR LOOKS DOOMED

We’re now almost pushing 6.30pm Manchester time and it looks unlikely England will have any luck with the rain this evening.

There are a few small windows where rain isn’t predicted tomorrow which are more likely to be the opening for Ben Stokes’ side to try and claim the five remaining Aussie wickets.

3.05AM: 7PM DEADLINE

Players need to return to the field by 4am (or 7pm Manchester time) for day four to continue.

But when you factor in the time needed to get the ground ready and warm up, it seems more likely than unlikely stumps will be called well before then.

3AM: WHAT IMPACT WILL ENGLAND DOMINANCE LEAVE?

Regardless of whether Australia salvages this Test, there’s no doubt England has been the better side in Manchester.

While we wait to learn if there’s going to be any more play today, it’s worth having a read of Michael Atherton’s take on the early parts of the fourth Test.

Here’s a sample: “In 25 overs, England scored 178 runs, and rarely can Australia have been so dominated as they were here. Crawley’s was the second-fastest hundred by an England opener – he already holds the record for the fastest – and only seven balls slower than Botham’s memorable blitz in 1981. By any estimation, it was a great Ashes innings.”

2.40AM: EVENING SESSION DELAYED

Confirmation the evening session has been delayed by rain.

The latest today’s play was scheduled to run for was until 7.30pm local time, or 4.30am in the east of Australia.

When you factor in that the covers have to come off, teams will need to warm up again and the ground dried, it seems likely today’s play might be done.

2.30AM: HUSSAIN PRAISES ROOT’S IMPACT

Joe Root probably wouldn’t have bowled in that session if it hadn’t been for bad light.

But his impact has moved England closer to going 2-2 in the Ashes, taking 1-32 in six overs.

It’s that number one which is all important as it was Marnus Labuschagne, who looked certain to be a thorn in England’s side and was batting like someone determined not to lose.

“The session looked like it was going against England,” Hussain said on Sky Sports.

“They got the ball changed but then the light got worse and they couldn’t bowl their seamers. Stokes wasn’t amused.

“But it actually worked in their favour. Root bowled beautifully, as well as I have seen him bowl for a long time. Off-breaks, arm balls, carom balls. Some turned, some didn’t, he bowled beautifully.”

2.10AM: RAIN STARTS AGAIN

Marnus Labuschagne would have been kicking himself after getting out but even moreso now the rain has started again.

The big covers are on during the tea break and there’s some doubt about when, and if, play will resume now.

“(Marnus) fell just before the tea break and now this misty rain has come down, Australia would love to have him out there because they have the deficit down to 61,” Mark Taylor says on Channel 9.

“They’ve done a pretty good job of it. Now with this rain we may or may not get any more play. This will make life difficult for England who wouldlike love to get out there and bowl to Cameron Green.”

2AM: GREEN GIVEN NOT OUT ON REVIEW

England thought it had Cam Green caught by a diving Joe Root off Moeen Ali but Joel Wilson’s not out decision has been upheld.

And that was a dramatic finish to the first session today.

Australia is 5-214, trailing by 61 runs and needing a miracle — or rain — to save this Test.

It remains to be seen whether the quicks will be allowed to bowl after the break.

1.47AM: ROOT GETS THE BREAKTHROUGH

Joe Root has looked the most dangerous of England’s bowlers today and is the main to get the big breakthrough.

Marnus Labuschagne, who had been so watchful up until this point, poked at a ball outside off stump and gets a thin edge through to Jonny Bairstow.

Ben Stokes reviewed within seconds after it was given not out and was proven right with a huge spike on snicko.

Australia is 5-211 and still trailing by 64 as this game and series turns again.

1.33AM: LABUSCHAGNE CENTURY

Marnus Labuschagne has done it.

After a frustating run of starts, the Aussie No.3 has his first century of this Ashes series and first ton since December last year against the West Indies.

He raced through his last 20 runs including two towering sixes off Joe Root, who’s bowling due to bad light in Manchester.

1.20AM: ENGLAND FORCED TO CHANGE ATTACK DUE TO LIGHT

It’s getting darker in Manchester and the umpires have had a word to Ben Stokes.

The commentators have deduced that it’s a light issue which likely means that England can’t bowl its quicks.

“Is it just Mark Wood, or is it Woakes, Anderson, Broad? Is it all the quicks or is it just Mark Wood because he can be 95, and Woakes and Broad and co can only get sort of mid 80s,” Mark Taylor says.

The next over will be the interesting one as Moeen Ali can’t bowl from both ends.

And it’s Joe Root, which confirms the assumption that it’s too dark for the quicks to bowl.

1AM: DRINKS — AUSTRALIA 4-159, TRAILS BY 116 RUNS

This is now Marnus Labuschagne’s best Test score since he made 79 against South Africa in January — that was 18 innings ago.

His last hundred was against the West Indies in December last year and Australia desperately needs its No.3 to covert his half-century into a big one.

He’s also gone past Steve Smith’s runs total for the series — only Usman Khawaja and Travis Head have more for Australia.

12.40AM: RAIN PREDICTED SOON

As much as I’m enjoying having some cricket to fill you in on, it might be shortlived.

The forecast gets worse in Manchester from about 4pm — or 1am our time.

England will be hoping it stays away as it hunts the six wickets it needs to make it 2-2 in the series.

12.24AM: AUSSIE DEFICIT HALVED

It’s all about the small wins for Australia in this chase and after starting with a 275-run deficit, Australia has got within 137 of England’s first innings.

That’s just over halfway for those playing along at home.

“It’s been a good solid start this from Australia. Nothing too threatening so far,” says Ricky Ponting in commentary.

“There has been a hint of swing. Good consistent bounce in the surface this morning.

“We have seen some inconsistent bounce. It hasn’t been as much from the end that Chris Woakes is bowling from now. It’s been from the other end Mark Wood has been bowling from, bowling from the James Anderson end.”

12.03AM: LABUSCHAGNE FIFTY

Marnus Labuschagne has been having trouble with his bottom hand after being struck by a Mark Wood short ball earlier.

But that hasn’t stopped him getting to his second fifty of the Test.

“He’s looked very good in this game, and looked good up at Headingley as well but I think he will feel that he owes his team a big innings,” Michael Atherton says in commentary.

But just after that, he’s having his finger assessed by the Aussie physios.

He has been troubled by finger issues all tour which dates back to being hit by Mohammed Siraj during the World Test Championship final.

12AM: MARSH ALMOST HOLES OUT

That short has come from nowhere.

The Aussies have been very circumspect so far, but clearly Mitch Marsh has had enough.

He gets a ball on his pads, smashes it high in the air and Moeen Ali almost makes enough ground to catch him at deep mid-wicket.

“Just imagine holing out like that, when you’re trying to save an Ashes game and you might only have to bat for a couple of hours before the rain comes,” the commentators say.

11.45PM: PLAY UNDERWAY

It seemed as unlikely as an Aussie victory a few hours ago, but play is underway on day four.

Mitch Marsh and Marnus Labuschagne have a huge job ahead to keep Australia in this contest.

11.35PM: HAZLEWOOD DISMISSES MARSH FITNESS CONCERNS

Mitch Marsh is going to have a huge role to play if this match resumes today or tomorrow.

The Aussie all-rounder spent some time off the field yesterday, raising concerns about whether he was carrying a niggle.

Marsh eventually boweld nine overs in England’s first innings.

Josh Hazlewood was asked about Marsh’s fitness in his post-day press conference after day three, telling reporters: “No, not that I’m aware of (no concerns). He’s probably bowled quite a bit in the last two games where (that’s) probably quite a steep rise in his workload. I’m assuming it’s just general soreness, that sort of stuff.”

11.20PM: HOW DAY FOUR WILL LOOK

More from Daniel Cherny in the UK.

If plays gets underway as planned in 20 minutes, here is the schedule for day four.

There will be 59 overs played, sessions from 2.45pm-5pm and 5.20-7pm with the option of an extra half hour.

The chance of today going 59 overs is slim, regardless of weather.

You would have to imagine there will be some juice in the Old Trafford deck and it’s going to be tough going for the Aussie batters.

11.05PM: ENGLAND PREPARING TO WARM UP

Daniel Cherny checks in from Old Trafford: The covers are coming off and England is bringing out warm-up gear.

And we have a potential start time — providing there’s no more rain, day four will start at 11.45pm.

10.40PM: WOOD — WE’RE OPTIMISTIC

Speedster Mark Wood has provided an insight into England’s mindset, saying it is optimistic of achieving a result as players and fans wait for the pitch inspection to take place.

Wood told Sky Sports: “There’s a few apps going around in the dressing room. We’ve got every one of them covered. We’re pretty optimistic at the minute.

“They’re saying there will be a bit of a break, so hopefully we can get some play in and really push it home.

“We’ve had a game of cards, but I hate sitting still for more than two seconds, I want to be doing something.

“There’s a few lads asleep on their bags, other lads doing crosswords, but I can’t sit still for too long.”

10.30PM: HUSSAIN — DON’T PUSH JIMMY INTO RETIREMENT

Former England captain Nasser Hussain says he hopes the country’s greatest paceman of all time isn’t pushed into retirement after the Ashes.

Hussain said James Anderson, who is about to turn 41, should be allowed to go on as long as he wants.

Anderson is still the No.4 ranked Test bowler in the world and although he wasn’t at his best in the first innings at his home ground Old Trafford, was recently ranked No.1 in the world.

“I think we send some of our cricketers into retirement too soon,” Hussain told Sky Sports. “Three months ago Anderson was the No 1 bowler in the world and he is unbelievably good. We should keep hold of him as long as we can.”

10.15PM: PITCH INSPECTION AT 11PM

Daniel Cherny checks in from Manchester to tell us that a pitch inspection which take place at 11pm tonight.

It might not be favourable, but at least there's a chance of some cricket?

In the footy codes tonight, Sydney has defeated Fremantle, Newcastle downed Melbourne and North Queensland defeated Parramatta. Oh, and Collingwood won again after trailing at three-quarter-time.

9.50PM: MANCHESTER WEATHER LATEST

Our man Daniel Cherny provides this update from Old Trafford: “Rain has stopped for the moment, but the covers are still on and it’s very wet. Supper sopper getting to work.”

Josh Hazlewood said the Australians have been told the groudn will need at least 90 minutes to dry before any play is possible today though.

“There is a little gap now it looks like on the radar but the rest of the afternoon looks pretty wet as well,” Hazlewood said on Channel 9.

“The ground is probably 90 minutes we have been told away from play once the rain does stop.”

And just as we post, the covers are coming off.

9.35PM: TAYLOR — BOWLING CAPTAINS HAVE IT TOUGHER

Former Australian captain Mark Taylor has backed Pat Cummins’ leadership amid criticism of his performance during the Manchester Test.

Speaking on Channel 9, Taylor said Cummins had been “terrific” since taking over as Aussie captain.

Cummins came in for criticism of his field placements, in particular, as England piled on runs during its first innings.

“Pat has done a terrific job. He is into his 20th test as captain, won 11, drawn four, lost four. Steve Smith’s done four tests at the same time as his deputy, won three, drawn one. Australian cricket is going well.

“We’re World Test champions. We’re leading this series 2-1. Yes, Pat hasn’t had his best couple of days here, it is tough as a bowling captain as I said, but if you look at what Ben Stokes has done...he has put all captains under pressure in this Bazball era.”

Taylor said Babar Azam, Kane Williamson and Dean Elgar had been captains to come out on the wrong side of Bazball.

“There’s three captains who couldn’t solve what Pat Cummins had to solve yesterday. It is not easy,” he said.

“The pressure goes on you but as a bowling captain, you have more on your plate. We need to get the best out of Pat as a skipper but also a bowler. That’s hard when you are doing both jobs under pressure.”

9.15PM: THOUSANDS WAITING IN MANCHESTER RAIN

You’ve got to give it to these people who have still turned up at Old Trafford hoping for some play today...

9PM: VAUGHAN SETS 45-OVER MINIMUM FOR ENGLAND TO WIN TEST

Michael Vaughan says England will have ample time to win the fourth Test if more than 45 overs are played on the fourth and fifth days combined.

There has been no sign of any chance of play so far on day four as rain continues to fall at Old Trafford.

Speaking on BBC, Vaughan said the Test would be lineball if 45 overs (have the allocated amount for a full day) could be played.

“...Say we get 45 overs of play. Let’s be honest, we’re not going to get a lot today,” the former England skipper said.

“We might get delays tomorrow, but say we get 45 overs of play. Australia have got a target now, 45 overs to bat with six in.

“ I’m not saying it’s easy, but when your mindset is right it’s just 45 overs of batting for us to retain the Ashes. You’ve got to fancy that we’ll find something in that.

“If it’s a bit longer I think England will quite easily win the game tomorrow.”

Vaughan questioned whether England should have declared earlier.

“You know this England side have played a Test match this week as good as we’ve seen an England team play against Australia for many, many generations,” he said.

“They’ve absolutely hammered in every aspect of the game. They’ve been far, far better in skill, mentality, everything about this England side has been spot on this week.

“But the question will be asked at the end of the game and it’s always the proof in the pudding you know, Ben could have declared after lunch, you know, they could have.”

8.30PM: RAIN FALLING INSIDE OLD TRAFFORD

Forget the prospect of any player in Manchester.

There’s now rain falling inside Old Trafford.

Sky Sports cameras have shown drops of rain falling from what appears to be a vent which gives you some idea of how heavy the rain is right now.

Stuart Broad is using his time off the ground to push for full ground covers too.

It's a fair point because although the pitch is staying dry, the rest of the ground is getting drenched right now.

8.20PM: HEALY FIRES BACK AT CUMMINS CAPTAINCY TALK

Ian Healy says a suggestion Pat Cummins will stand down as captain at the end of the Ashes is “not fair”.

Former Victorian wicketkeeper Darren Berry tweeted on Friday: “Pat Cummins is a magnificent cricketer no doubt but remember this msg — he will resign from the captaincy after the Ashes series. The question is do they go back to Smudge or move forward to Head or Marsh?”

Asked about the claim during the rain delay on day four, Healy said: No, that’s not fair.

“I don’t know where Darren’s got his inside information as to when someone is going to resign. No.

“It is very difficult, whether you’re a bowler or not — don’t tell Tubby that.

For Pat, most of the captaincy happens in the field. Sure, there is an element off the field but when you’ve got so much on the field, you’ve got to get your personal basics right, worry about the other end and who is going to bowl and then injuries you’re dealing with. It is really, really difficult. They’ve got tactics that weren’t quite right.”

7.55PM: NO CHANCE OF START ON TIME

Forget any prospect of day four starting on time at 8pm.

Lancashire Cricket provided an update about 10 minutes ago which will please those wanting rain to help Australia claim a draw.

“Unfortunately, the rain is coming down much heavier now here @EmiratesOT. It’s safe say we are set for a delayed start,” it tweeted.

7.35PM: ‘GREATEST TRAVESTY’ — PIERS UNLEASHES

Broadcaster Piers Morgan has unleashed on the morning of day four of the fourth Test, saying it will be “the greatest travesty in the history of Ashes cricket” if Australia retains the urn thanks to rain.

Morgan, who has been involved in a twitter tit for tat with former Aussie quick Merv Hughes throughout the series, described the Australian side as “trampled, battered, beleaguered, Bazballed, desperate, white-flag-flying”.

There is no sign of play in Manchester this morning, according to our man on the ground Daniel Cherny.

Not ideal for Piers.

Now we wait and see if Merv has something to say in reply...

Meanwhile, Mark Taylor provides a conditions update from a wet Old Trafford: “Not great for people who want to watch the cricket but the forecast is not good,” he says on Channel 9. “Talking about 16 degree max. 90 per cent chance of rain or greater all day here.

“The forecast for tomorrow is not great either. It is terrible news for spectators and commentators and what have you but great news for Australia because the chance to play today is only slight.”

7.15PM: ATHERTON — AUSTRALIA MAY NOT RECOVER FROM THIS

Former England skipper Mike Atherton says Australia could be left with psychological scars from its Manchester mauling.

England is six wickets from making the Ashes 2-2, with weather the only hope for Australia to stay ahead in the series.

Writing in his regular Times column, Atherton said of the Australians: “They were ragged again at times and their fast bowlers were treated with disdain so there must surely be some psychological effect from this pulverising if the series is still alive next week.”

He later added: “Stokes has Australia exactly where he wants them, on the ropes and on the defensive.”

Whether England gets a chance to land the knockout blows in Manchester remains to be seen though.

6.45PM: IT’S VERY WET IN MANCHESTER

English cricket fans have woken to the news they dreaded.

It's pouring rain in Manchester.

The hourly forecast for much of day four predicted a 90-100 per cent chance of rain and the covers have been on at Old Trafford this morning as rain falls in England’s north.

Local media is reporting England may get its crack at Australia from about midday-4pm local time, but the forecast outside that is grim if you’re an English fan.

PRESSURE ON CUMMINS AFTER AUSSIES’ MANCHESTER DEBACLE

Pat Cummins’ time as Australia captain is up according to one former player predicting he will resign after the Ashes series.

Two days of forecast rain in Manchester is about the only thing that can save Australia from handing England a series-levelling win at Old Trafford.

Mark Wood ran through Australia’s top order to leave the Aussies 4-113 in their second innings at stumps on day three, still 162 runs away from making the hosts bat again.

Marnus Labuschagne grafted his way to 44 not out, while Mitch Marsh was unbeaten on one.

England had earlier amassed 592 in 107.4 overs as the rudderless tourists capitulated in the field.

The Aussies will retain the Ashes with a draw in this match but realistically will need the weather on their side to do so.

It seems faith in the captain is waning too with former Victorian state captain Darren Berry venting his frustrations.

“This is unwatchable,” Berry tweeted. “This is absolutely insane to anyone watching this s**t with half a clue about the game. Enough is enough now … keep banging em in lads WTF.

“Pat Cummins is a magnificent cricketer no doubt but remember this msg — he will resign from the captaincy after the Ashes series. The question is do they go back to Smudge or move forward to Head or Marsh?”

The UK media is being equally critical of the Aussie captain saying ‘Australia look like a team without a leader’.

“The horrors visited upon Pat Cummins these past three days look to have aged him about 30 years, with his billboard-friendly face redrawn into a mask of Bazball-induced torment,” Oliver brown wrote in the Telegraph.

“It has been a zombie display by the normally ebullient Australia captain. In every department, Cummins has exhibited the reverse-Midas touch.

“Here in Manchester, playing his fifth Test in six weeks, he has resembled a man running on fumes. Regrettably, doubts over Cummins are multiplying with every misstep he makes.”
