Watch: Shami shatters Labuschagne’s stumps in WTC final vs Australia

The video shows India pacer Mohammed Shami swinging in a delivery to completely beat Australia’s star batter Labuschagne and shatter his stumps on the first day of the World Test Championship final being played at the Oval in England.

India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first on Wednesday.  India has gone in for four pace bowlers considering the wicket. Mohammed Siraj dismissed Usman Khawaja to give India a really good start before David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne stitched 69 runs for the second wicket for Australia.

India was in a commanding position at one stage with Australia 76/3. However, after that Travis Head turned the tables with a masterly knock of 146 runs (not out) ably assisted by Steve Smith who was batting on 96.
