England vs Australia Live Score, Ashes 2019, 4th Test, Day 1

C Overton to Labuschagne, That seemed to be deliberate from Overton. Labuschagne does get a long way across his stumps and Chris targets the leg stump, but bowls it slightly wide. Marnus attempts to flick but misses. Another half-shout, this time from the slips. Nothing from Bairstow or Overton.

C Overton to Labuschagne, Around off, solidly defended.

Overton to Labuschagne, That is a jaffa. Overton hits the deck hard, bowling it on a length and generates extra bounce. The ball whizzes past the outside edge and Bairstow appeals but he does not get enough support from the slip cordon. They join in late and on seeing that, Overton appeals as well. The umpire says no. Nothing on the Ultra Edge.

C Overton to Labuschagne, Around off, solidly defended.

C Overton to Labuschagne, FOUR! AMAZING! Full and outside off, Labuschagne leans and drives it through cover, past the fielder diving to his left, finding the ropes behind.

J Leach to Smith, Around middle, flicked straight to short mid-wicket.

J Leach to Labuschagne, Full and around middle, flicked through mid-wicket for a run.

J Leach to Labuschagne, Down the leg side, helped through square leg for a couple.

J Leach to Smith, Tossed up outside off, Steven stays leg side of the ball and drives it past short extra cover, wide of mid off. A single taken.

J Leach to Smith, Full and around off, pushed back to the bowler once again.

J Leach to Smith, Landed outside off, Smith lunges and blocks it out.

Looks like the ball has gone out of shape. It is brought to Erasmus by the England players. Dharmasena is the silent observer in all this talk and eventually, someone calls for the 8-shaped gauge. Smith now asks Dharmasena what is the issue and he is perhaps told that it might be a bit of leather coming off the seam and they could be cutting it off, rather than replacing it. The fourth umpire brings out a box of balls and there is a bit of drizzle in the air. Plenty of blue sky overhead, so this might be a passing shower. THE BALL IS CHANGED and Dharmasena shows it to the batsmen. The hover cover gets ready but play continues.

C Overton to Labuschagne, SMITH WOULD HAVE BEEN RUN OUT HAD THE BALL HIT THE STUMPS! Full and around off, Labuschagne drives it straight back. Overton sticks out his right leg and almost does two things at one time - Injure himself and run Smith out behind him. He is on the ground but the ball just misses the stumps. The batsmen now take two. Replays show that Smith's bat was in the air when the ball went past the sticks.

C Overton to Labuschagne, Around off, watchfully pushed towards mid on.

C Overton to Labuschagne, Another leave outside off. This one was a wider ball and Labuschagne does a Smith, swishing his bat away from the line.

C Overton to Labuschagne, Outside off, on a length, shouldered arms to.

C Overton to Labuschagne, Around middle and off, Labuschagne flicks it through square leg, calls for two as he sees fine leg and mid-wicket pretty deep. Gets two comfortably.

C Overton to Smith, Full and straight, targetting those pads, but Smith, as he so often does, gets his bat in the way, whipping this through square leg for a single.

J Leach to Labuschagne, Very full, Marnus keeps it out.

J Leach to Labuschagne, Full and around middle, Labuschagne lunges and pushes it towards mid on.
