Marnus Labuschagne said he holds himself to a "higher standard" after his struggles in the opening Ashes test and is looking to rediscover top form in time for the second match at Lord's.
Former captain Ricky Ponting has offered technical advice to Australia batters Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head to counter England's bowling attack ahead of the second Ashes Test starting Wednesday at the Lord's. Australia won the opening Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham by two wickets in what was the first match of the new ICC World Test Championship cycle. There were a number of impressive individual performances, but Labuschagne and Head struggled in the Ashes opener.
Joe Root has moved to the top of the Test batting rankings after his fine display for England in the first Ashes Test at Egbaston. Root looked in sparkling form as he made an unbeaten 118 in the first innings and then 46 in the second innings. Ad Australia's Marnus Labuschagne, who had been top of the rankings for the last six months, dropped down to third position after scores of zero and 13 in the match.
BIRMINGHAM, England: An inspired Stuart Broad revived England's hopes of winning an enthralling opening Ashes test with a superb late burst just when Australia appeared to have taken the upper hand on Monday.

Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne believes that Australia were the better team in the last Ashes series in August-September 2019. England won the last match at the Oval which resulted in a series draw. "We've just got to finish off the series, we just let it slip at The Oval," Labuschagne told cricket.com.au ahead of the first Test at Edgbaston beginning on Friday. "We played better cricket the whole time even though we lost at Headingley... we still were the better team. To learn from that series is making sure that we're on and we finish the job," he added.
A video of Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne, who was caught peacefully sleeping in the dressing room having padded up, has gone viral on the Internet. A video tweeted on the ICC page shows Labuschagne padded up and stretched out on a dressing room chair. However, as opener David Warner gets dismissed in the fourth over of the innings, Labuschagne is awakened by the crowd's noise and quickly walks out to bat at No. 3.
India had the best possible start to the fourth day of the World Test Championship final against Australia as Umesh Yadav scalped the crucial wicket of Marnus Labuschagne in the third over of the day. Umesh let out a big shout after the dismissal and the reason was obvious as Australia went five down. Their lead had ballooned to 296 at the end of Day 3 and for India to have any chance of winning, they need to restrict their lead to as low as possible. The good length delivery around off-stump kicked up and the resulting bounce took Labuschagne's edge and went flying to the first slip, where Cheteshwar Pujara was stationed.
