The first chance was a tough one when Buttler failed to hold on a tough leg-side chance when Labuschagne gloved one-off Ben Stokes when he was playing on 21.

The other chance arrived at the closing stage of play, where Butter dropped a relatively straightforward chance when Labuschagne got a thick edge one off Anderson when on 95.

David Warner, once again failed in nerves 90s as the pocket-size Dynamo scored 95 runs and missed his well deserved 100 by 5 runs whereas
Labuschagne would find him very lucky as he got two lifelines and still have a chance to make a three-digit score tomorrow.
