It did not take long for Australia to wrap up England resuming of 325 for 9 as Manus Labuschagne fielding at deep mid-wicket pulled off a magnificent airborne catch diving to his right to get rid of Joffra Archer.

The manner in which the catch was taken showed how desperate the home team was to pluck the last England wicket that realised 70 runs while Joe Root in the process remained unbeaten on 138, his first century on Australian soil in 30 appearances down under.
