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.

Cameron Green Admits 'Australia Got Out Of Jail' With Fourth Ashes Test Draw

Australia all-rounder Cameron Green admitted the tourists had "got out of jail" in an Ashes-clinching draw at Old Trafford. England dominated the fourth Test in Manchester and led by 275 runs on first innings. But with rain meaning only 30 overs were possible across the final two days on Saturday and Sunday, Australia held on for a draw. The result meant Australia, as the holders, retained the Ashes -- they are 2-1 up with just this week's fifth Test at The Oval left to play. "I think we definitely got away with one there," Green, one of Australia's not out batsmen, told the cricket.com.au website.

Australia Made 'Mistake' In 4th Ashes Test Selection, Legend Explains Why

Former Australia captain Steve Waugh slammed the management for dropping off-spinner Todd Murphy from the playing eleven for the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford in Manchester.

With England eyeing a series-levelling win in Manchester, Australia went into the game with an all-out pace attack. However, Waugh feels Australia have made a mistake by not picking Murphy.
