The part-time leg-spin of Dawid Malan has resulted in a cheap wicket as Marnus Labuschagne tried to clobber him out of the ground. The feeble connection meant it was a simple catch to Ben Stokes at deep midwicket and falls for 51. Stokes has been patrolling the fence with great gusto, having already taken a full-stretch blinder to remove Travis Head. Both Labuschagne and Head scored fifties as Australia’s led zooms to 456. The declaration should come as soon as Cameron Green gets to the fifty landmark.
