‘Shut the f..k up’: Stokes in fiery Ashes outburst
- On Monday, England captain Ben Stokes appeared to tell Marnus Labuschagne to `shut the f..k up` before putting his arm around him during the tense final session at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
- After Labuschagne clipped a boundary and exchanged words, he pulled away from his stumps running in to bowl, provoking Stokes; Neser said Labuschagne "has a knack" for getting under opponents' skin.
- England made 384 in the first innings on a batting-friendly pitch, while Australia closed the day at 2-166 with Travis Head on 91 and Joe Root dismissed for 160 by Michael Neser.
- The episode produced sharp reactions, with Justin Langer saying Jamie Smith was dismissed by part-timer Marnus Labuschagne after playing one of the dumbest shots in Test cricket.
- Given the three-nil series lead, Australia coach Andrew McDonald said the remaining matches are mainly for World Test Championship points.
