Marnus Labuschagne faces a decisive second innings to salvage his Test career, following a poor run of form that has lasted over two years, with an average below 33 since the 2022-23 summer. His recent innings of 17 off 56 balls was uninspiring, and without a significant score at Lord’s, his position on the team will be hard to justify, especially with competition from players like Cam Green and Sam Konstas. Labuschagne’s struggles are compounded by his ongoing adjustments to his batting technique, which have yet to yield positive results.
