The dew might settle it down. I’m glad we’ve got that many on the board. I have made a few slight technical changes after I started in England, I am a bit open in my stance now,” Labuschagne was quoted as saying in the mid-innings interview.

“It’s nice that it has started so well. (On this being a happy-hunting ground for him) I met Shaun (Pollock) out there when I was four, I came out to watch them play. It’s a great ground to play in. Mum and Dad actually made it here today, the whole family is here today,” the right hand batter added.
