Watch: Marnus Labuschagne’s siesta interrupted after Mohammed Siraj takes out David Warner in WTC Final
Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne was caught on camera taking what looked like a little power nap as David Warner and Usman Khawaja took guard for Australia’s second innings in the World Test Championship final on Friday.
Labuschagne who bats 3rd for the Baggy Greens, had his pads on as he was having a shut eye. However, his siesta was interrupted very soon as Mohammed Siraj took out David Warner which necessitated Labuschagne arrival. The batter was then seen getting up immediately and making his way down in the middle to replace Warner.
Steve Smith and Labuschagne are currently at the crease, holding fort for Australia. Smith replaced Usman Khawaja after he was dismissed Umesh Yadav.
Meanwhile, Australia are 68 for two in their second innings on the third day of the World Test Championship Final against India.
Earlier, replying to Australia’s 469, India were all out for 296 in 69.4 overs.
Ajinkya Rahane could not score a century (89 off 129 balls) on comeback as he departed in the second over after lunch, brilliantly caught Cameron Green at gully off skipper Pat Cummins.
Resuming the day on 151 for five, India lost wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharat (5) early when Scott Boland cleaned him up. But the pair of Rahane and Shardul Thakur (51) led India’s resance.
