Labuschagne edged a Joel Paris delivery on to his pads, with the ball popping up and being caught by Liam Guthrie at short forward square leg.
The dismissal ended a second-wicket partnership of 142 runs between Labuschagne and Street.
The Bulls progressed to 2-257 at lunch, with Street on 91 and captain Usman Khawaja on 32.
