Australia's Marnus Labuschagne nods off during India match before being woken up to bat

Marnus Labuschagne was enjoying 40 winks during day three of the World Test Championship final - before having to wake up and bat!

The Australian No 3 was seen, fully padding up, nodding off on the team balcony as his side started their second innings. The opening pair of Usman Khawaja and David Warner walked out with their side in a command, having earlier dismissed India for 296 - giving them a lead of 173.

But Rohit Sharma's bowlers were fired up early on, with Mohammed Siraj having Warner caught behind in the fourth over for 1. And just seconds before the dismissal, Sky TV cameras had shown Labuschagne flat out asleep with his feet up on a chair.
