Both Australia openers Warner and Head like pace on the ball but have been denied by Buttler, who introduces Moeen Ali. Tidy start.
Head and Warner take advantage of the breeze blowing and also take Jacks to the cleaners. 22 from the over.
There's pace and good pace from Archer. He's starting to steam in. Very good signs for England after all the faith and time invested on him.
Warner would have enjoyed that, it's a pick up and a thing of beauty. Hold the pose.
England look a little shell-shocked. The openers have not let them to settle. The onslught is on. The game looks like a fast-forward for Jos Buttler. Amazing batting.
Jofra Archer picks the other opener after Ali picked Warner to kickstart the England fightback.
Two back-to-back good overs for England. They continue to build pressure on Australia. Is a counterattack nearing?
And the counter attack does come. Just what the doctor ordered for Australia. Maxwell and Marsh will feel a lot better.

England need 103 from 54 deliveries. Moeen Ali has been promoted ahead of Harry Brook. Tough task, but not an impossible one.
England get a huge 20-run over against the run of play but the equation is still a daunting one. However, there is hope.
15 overs in and England need plenty to win. Fantastic from Hazlewood, fantastic from Australia in the last ten mins.
Great plans, great execution and David Warner is not dropping that. Great pair of hands and Ali has to go. England are five down.
Adam Zampa completes yet another fine spell - a routine day at the office going for just 28 in his four overs. A couple of pats on the back and much deserved.
Australia and World Cups.. built different. Pat Cummins after having a rest in the last game delivers a sensational spell, picking two wickets for just 23 runs.
Australia win by 36 runs and take all two points against arch-rivals England at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
"We play England a lot, we know their players. We've trained here and know the dimensions. A massive breeze, getting England hitting to the long boundary, difficult to hit sixes and fours. Hard to play cross-bat shots against me. Some of the wickets in the Windies you need to sum up on the spot, looking at how Rash bowled as well helped. We have great depth with our bowling attack, playing all different roles."
"Very pleased, allround game was outstanding, great game. The powerplay was the difference in the game, we learnt lessons from the first game, to trust our games. The bowlers did their thing, we have an experienced group. Patty was outstanding, tough end to bowl with the wind going across. Needed hard overs from the big guns. We'll keep learning in these conditions, keep improving and keep progressing through the tournament."
"They came out with a lot of intent, under a lot of pressure straightaway, we fought well, but they took wickets at crucial times and played really well. Hindsight gives lots of decisions you could have changed, extreme conditions with the short side and the wind. Jofra bowled really well but looked like he hasn't been away at all, such variety and skill. Great to have him back. Outside the powerplay was going to be the challenge, credit to Australia, their seamers were very consistent, making us hit to the long side. We came second today, but it's all laid out for us, what we need to do."
Australia too good on the day as England head back to the drawing board looking for answers. Thank you so much for joining. Until next time, take care.
