Australia vs England, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Doggett to Jofra Archer, out Caught by Labuschagne!! Marnus, the man! This was a flat hit from Archer. Marnus at deep backward square leg had to move right, dive full length. He went with two hands and he managed to pluck it inches off the ground with his right hand. Doggett finally gets into the wickets columns. Short delivery on the leg stump, Archer went to send it to the fence. That ball never looked like carrying to the fielder but Marnus made it possible with his brilliance. Australia get the job done very early on Day 2. Jofra Archer c Labuschagne b Doggett 38(36) [4s-2 6s-2]

He moved swiftly to his right, picked it up cleanly and wasted no time as he hit the bullseye at the keeper's end. The England captain is short of his crease and Australia break this stand. Inglis has just one stump to aim there. Incredible work. Stokes threw his arm in the air after the direct-hit but had a chat with Root before taking the long walk back.
