Aus 156-6
This might be the last of Archer in this spell. He’ll have two left after this one and Morgan might save him.
Steve Smith will have faced him a lot in the nets in the IPL, they were team-mates. Smith looks comfortable.
Archer is trying the short stuff but twice his bouncers are deemed too high and a wide is called.

- Carey batted with a bandaged head after being hit by Archer bouncer
- Archer strikes with his first ball of match – removing Finch for a golden duck
- In-form Warner fences Woakes to first slip
