Brydon Carse uproots off-stump with a scorching delivery to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne for 4 runs in ENG vs AUS 4th ODI 

Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne was undone by an absolute seed from England pacer Brydon Carse in the ongoing fourth ODI at Lord's on Friday, September 27. The right-handed batter could only chip in with four runs off 10 deliveries before being castled by the right-arm speedster in the mammoth run-chase attempt.

Marnus Labuschagne came in at No. 5 after the dismissals of Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh in the space of eight deliveries. Australia had got off to a flier in pursuit of the 313-run target in the 39-over per-side contest. England fought their way back with wickets, leaving Australia in a tricky position.

The visitors' woes escalated after Josh Inglis had to walk back after a soft dismissal. Labuschagne was expected to hold one end, but he met his end with a stunning delivery from Carse, only three deliveries after Inglis' departure.

The right-handed batter looked to defend a length delivery, but the ball showed a hint of seam movement after pitching. Labuschagne ended up playing inside the line as the ball sneaked past him and his bat to hit the top of the off stump.

Labuschagne began the series with a bright half-century, but his scores have taken a hit gradually. He recorded 19 runs in Headingley, while an unfortunate dismissal in Durham gave him the third duck of his ODI career.

Labuschagne's dismissal puts England on top to force a series finale

Carse's double strike reduced the visitors to 93-5, and Archer followed it up by dismissing Glenn Maxwell for just two runs to sink Australia further. At the time fo writing, the in-form Alex Carey was stuck at one end. He had the lower order to keep him company, with more than half of the target still left to be scored.

The duo of Carey and Sean Abbott had put on a little partnership to guide the score to 112-6 after 21 overs. England are firm favorites to pull off a mammoth win level the series from 0-2 down and force the series finale in Bristol on Sunday.
