With five overs remaining, Jos Buttler dropped a regulation catch off the bowling of James Anderson to offer a reprieve to Labuschagne, who remained not out on 95. Buttler had earlier spilt a tougher chance behind the stumps when Labuschagne was on 21. Warner said nothing could deter him from going out to face the old enemy despite the injury to his ribs sustained in the first Test in Brisbane, which left him unable to pick up his children. “I didn’t feel great,” he said. “I had a couple of painkillers and a local [injection] this morning. You have got to put your best foot forward.”
England did not bowl badly but their five-man seam attack looked increasingly insipid as solid containment gave way to more hurried scoring from Australia before 32,328 fans at Adelaide Oval.
