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.

1. Rashid takes two wickets in an over as Australia fall to 118-5
2. Smith and Carey put on 103 for fourth wicket
3. Carey batted with a bandaged head after being hit by Archer bouncer
4. Archer strikes with his first ball of match – removing Finch for a golden duck
5. In-form Warner fences Woakes to first slip
6. Handscomb bowled through the gate by Woakes
7. Australia won toss; Winners play New Zealand in the final at Lord’s on Sunday
