Watch: Stuart Broad Changes Position Of Bails. Marnus Labuschagne Gets Out On Next Ball

A mind game from England pacer Stuart Broad took the centre stage during Day 2 play of the fifth and final Ashes Test at Kennington Oval in London. During the batting of Marnus Labuschagne, Broad interchanged the positions of the bails and the batter was dismissed on the very next ball. Mark Wood bowled a dot ball to Labuschagne on the fourth delivery of the 43rd over before Broad performed his antics. On the fifth ball of the over, the Australian batter got an outside edge and Joe Root took a stunning catch at first slip to end his innings.

Australia's Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne Script Bizarre Ashes Record

Australian batters Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschange entered record books for the slow pace of their batting during the fifth and final Ashes Test against England at The Oval. They batted at a run rate that created a new Ashes record. Khawaja and Marnus batted really slow in Australia's first innings, stitching 42-run stand for the second wicket in 26 overs. This was largely due to Labuschagne's slow knock of nine runs in 82 balls. By the time Labuschagne was dismissed, Khawaja had played 123 balls and was unbeaten on 37.
