Australia’s top-order batter Marnus Labuschagne scored his 11th Test century as he and rain played pivotal roles in keeping England away from victory in the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford on Saturday.

At stumps called in early due to rain, Australia reached 214 for 5 in 71 overs and are still 61 runs behind against England, who now need only five wickets to grab a victory with day five predicted to be massively affected by rain again.
