Marnus Labuschagne expects Australia have more work to do to save the match at Old Trafford

00:00 You've got to be prepared to play. And I think we were today. I think you saw we took the

00:03 game on. We knew what the task we had. We knew it wasn't going to be necessarily a massively

00:11 long day, but we had to be on for that two-hour stint that we did get. And for us now, it's

00:16 about retaining the ashes. This is what it comes down to. Whatever time we have left

00:21 tomorrow, there's only one option, which is bat out the day. And the rain's going to play

00:26 its part, but I certainly think there'll be some sort of play-in tomorrow.

00:30 The discount in the win completely? You kind of suggested that.

00:36 As in get a lead? Yeah.

00:38 And then what do you mean? Well, can you see a situation where Australia

00:43 declare tomorrow and stick England instead of the past?

00:47 No. No chance. Zero. As in get ahead. So what are we, 60 behind?

00:53 60 behind. I mean, if Mitch gets going, maybe. If Mitch and Greenie put on an absolute unbelievable

00:59 partnership. But once again, I think we're just going to let it play out and get bowled

01:04 out when we do. And then I don't think we're going to give England a sniff. I think that's

01:08 exactly what they would like.
