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.

On the day two of the fifth Ashes series, Smith was saved from a run out on the "benefit of the doubt" to batter. At first, it seemed that Smith was short of his ground. But, after seeing replays, umpire Nitin Menon ruled that the bail was not completely dislodged from both grooves of Jonny Bairstow until Smith was in his crease.
