England Defeated before a 117-run stand was broken by Craig Overton tea on a opening Afternoon of the fourth Ashes Test
SCORECARD | TEXT COMMENTARY
Smith (60no) and Labuschagne (67) took Australia out of 28-2 to 144-2, only for remembered seamer Overton – enjoying with his first home Test – to bowl the latter 15 minutes before the break with a rescue which cut off stump.
Smith picked up where he left off before he missed the third Test adding a second while Labuschagne equaling his fourth Ashes fifty in a row.
Australia were 170-3 at the period, Travis Head unbeaten on 18 with survived an lbw review if a chunk out of Ben Stokes that knocked him off his toes was proven to get pitched outside leg stump.
Broad had ignored David Warner (0) for the next time at the series, as well as his second consecutive duck, and also his opening partner Marcus Harris (13) as England snaffled two early wickets after losing the toss.
Rain prevented any play between 4pm and lunch and caused another delay from the day, with conditions forcing the umpires to remove the bails and then call for more heavy ones.
Australia may retain the Ashes with victory, with spurned the chance to do this at Headingley 10 weeks past after Stokes’ unbeaten century inspired England to some one-wicket triumph.
