Labuschagne got the second ball on his head

Labuschagne was sent as a replacement in the second innings of the Lord’s Test. But he was also shocked after being hit by Archer’s delivery but didn’t get hurt and successfully struck a half-century.

Next time he was hurt by furious Mitchell Starc ball on the grille during the practice session. But the doctor cleared of any injury.

Meantime England Team practice has also the same incident. Opener Jason Roy was struck on the helmet by former England opener Marcus Trescothick who was present during the practice session. He underwent test and faced no injury as he was wearing a neck guard.

Australia is in the lead with 1-0 after two Test matches. Steve was ruled out of the Third Ashes Test with a concussion which will start from Thursday on Headingly Carnegie.
