Marnus makes most of his chance to end run of poor form

Marnus Labuschagne knows he didn't need runs to stay in the Test team.

As the fastest Australian to 3000 Test runs since Donald Bradman, Labuschagne has earned the right to selection that defies a small form dip.

However, Australia's No.3 knew he needed runs to contribute, which is why his anchoring innings of 90 against New Zealand came at the right time.
