In the ongoing 2nd Ashes test, Australia have asserted themselves in the driving seat. Australia, while batting first, declared on 473/9 in the 3rd session of Day 2 and then assaulted England with 2 wickets.
While Australia were batting, David Warner & Steve Smith got out in the nervous 90s but Marnus Labuschagne smacked his 6th test century in his 20th match. However, before the completion of his ton, he was loaded with good fortunes as he was gifted a number of lifelines by the English. Three of his catches were dropped and once when he actually got out, it was on a no-ball by Ollie Robinson!
After completing the century, Labuschagne was dismissed by Ollie Robinson. The whole English camp including the bowler were overjoyed with the wicket of the centurion but then the front foot no-ball was checked, and then the third umpire adjudged it a 'no-ball', and once again fate favoured Labuschagne. However, he didn't make much of this lifeline.
