4th Test: Marnus Ton Lights Up Day 1 For Aussies

Brisbane: Australian middle-order batsman Marnus Labuschagne scored a brilliant hundred to help Australia have a slight edge over India on Day One of the fourth and final Test at the Gabba here on Friday.
At close, Australia reached 274/5 after 87 overs, with skipper Tim Paine and Cameron Green staying unbeaten at 38 and 28, respectively.
For the hosts, Labuschagne starred with the bat scoring 108, laced with nine fours, while Matthew Wade and Steve Smith also made notable contributions of 45 and 36, respectively.
Earlier, electing to bat, the hosts failed to get off to a good start as both David Warner and Marcus Harris went back to the dressing room with just 17 runs on the board against a very inexperienced Indian bowling line-up.
Brief scores: Australia 274/5 (Marnus Labuschagne 108, Matthew Wade 45; T Natarajan 2/63) Vs India.
