Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja involve in a fiery exchange with fan

The drama ensued at the end of Day 3 of the 5th Test of The Ashes. Following a frustrating day, the Australians were making their way to the dressing room through the stretch where spectators were also present. At the facility, a chirpy individual verbally let something out which did not go well with Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja. The Aussie batters were heading to the pavilion but upon hearing the gentleman the two stopped and responded with acrimony. Here's what transpired.

Khawaja told the man to “calm down”, while Labuschagne asked him, “What did you say? What did you say, mate? You’re just about to go at everyone else.”

Not quite the MCC Long Room at Lords. But @marnus3cricket and @Uz_Khawaja clearly not happy with this Englishman at the end of a frustrating day 3 for the Aussies! #boring #Ashes #ENGvsAUS pic.twitter.com/i0m5wM8bUY

England vs Australia: 5th Test hangs in balance

The 5th Test of Ashes 2023, taking place at The Oval, hangs perfectly in balance. England have given Australia a challenging target of 384 runs. However, the hosts have got the ideal head-start, ending Day 4 at 135/0. On Day 5, Australia need another 249 runs, whereas the hosts need all ten wickets to draw level with the Aussies. So, it will either be 3-1, 2-2 or could even be 2-1 with a rain threat hovering.
