MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Joe Root kept England’s hopes of a series-leveling win alive in the fourth Ashes test by dismissing centurion Marnus Labuschagne on a rain-affected fourth day Saturday.The worst fears of a washout at Old Trafford were not realized, with persistent showers finally clearing in time to get play underway at 2:45 p.m. But a stand of 103 between Labuschagne and Mitch Marsh threatened to shut the door on the home side.Labuschagne made a defiant 111 to nudge his side closer to a draw that would see Australia retain the urn. But he was finally removed about 15 minutes before tea when he nicked Root’s occasional off-spin to Jonny Bairstow, who gathered well at the second attempt.That left the tourists on 214-5, 61 behind England having ended day three 167 adrift.Root bowled only because of bad light, with the umpires deciding that conditions were too gloomy for the seamers, but his unpredictable offerings provided the biggest threat and he was unlucky no...
