READ MORE: Too good’: Aussies’ 14-match win streak smashed

Labuschagne made his frustrations clear, turning to Beardman and delivering what commentators termed “a death stare”.

“Oh no. Did the 12th man almost impede Labuschagne there because you do see the modern fielder leap over the boundary and either try and throw it back or palm it off to his mate,” one caller said.

“I think Labuschagne may have been slightly concerned about the 12th man.”

Former England captain Nasser Hussein said he sympathised with Labuschagne in that moment.

“He was just walking around. He’d have been in the line of sight as Labuschagne was going around.

“Labushagne has a look at him as if to say, ‘Mate, there’s a game going on here’.

“Well he gives him the stare and I can sort of understand why. I can completely understand why.”

It was a moment that summed up a poor display from Australia, who lost for the first time in the ODI arena in almost 12 months, as England captain Harry Brook’s maiden ton revived his side’s series hopes.

England reached 4/254 when rain stopped play 37.4 overs into their chase, taking the match by 46-runs, which means the five-match series is now poised at 2-1 in Australia’s favour.

The Aussies began their campaign to extend their win streak in positive fashion, when Mitchell Starc removed openers Phil Salt and Ben Duckett in the space of four balls.

Things were looking up until interim skipper Brook and Will Jack came to the crease, combining for 156 to give England some much needed solidarity.

And with that, some frustration began to creep in, as the tourists looked for the breakthrough that had so often come during their unbeaten streak.

When Livingstone’s high pull shot travelled towards the boundary off a short ball from Cameron Green in the 34th over, Labuschagne looked to make the breakthrough for Australia but the chance went down and with it went the tourist’s hopes.
