FOUR! GORGEOUS! That's his first boundary on his 24th ball. Full, fractionally wide outside off, Marnus Labuschagne reaches out and plays an exquisite cover drive.
21.5
.
A short ball, outside off, Marnus looks to pull but the ball does not come onto the bat. Takes the bottom edge and goes towards mid on.

Very full, outside off, squeezed through cover for another single.
21.3

A short ball now, Labuschagne pulls it all uppishly through square leg for one.
21.2
1
That is a perfect cover drive, nice feet movement and hand movement, getting the bat down in time and giving a good pose for the photographers. Except for the region. The ball moves in a long way, takes the inside edge and rockets past the leg stump towards long leg. A run taken.

Overpitched wide outside off, Marnus Labuschagne leans and drives it through the covers for a single.
Brydon Carse returns. 4-0-40-1 might seem expensive but that is because 20 of those came in one over alone.

Adil Rashid 19/0(4)

This is slower through the air, nicely looped up around leg and outside, Marnus stays back, allows the ball to turn away and then works it against the turn through mid-wicket to keep the strike with a single.
20.5
.
Quicker and shorter, around middle, with a slip and leg slip, Labuschagne pushes it towards mid on.

A googly, around off, the Bison pushes it towards long on for one.

Fuller, outside off, Marnus Labuschagne reaches out and drives it through mid off for a run.

Short, outside off, Marsh rocks back and punches it through the covers for a single.

FOUR! Risky shot but he manages to pull it off. With the boundaries getting dried up, Mitchell Marsh had to do something. Adil Rashid floats this up around middle and Marsh gets down to sweep, taking it on the full. He does connect well but had he missed, was a goner. The ball races to the square leg fence.
