    Not jealous at all, you two!

    Jofra Archer's over dries up the boundaries but they still take eight from it with some good running.

    The washout against Scotland means there is added importance on this for England to go with the rivalry and history between the two teams.

    But most importantly England will be desperate to get their tournament off and running and feel like they have some degree of rhythm about their play.

    They had a rain-truncated series against Pakistan as their preparation and their first game was half washed out, in which they looked a little rusty.

    So there's areas to tighten up and a full game of 20 overs will be good for England - but they have to be on it.

  4. Aus 26-0

    Jofra! Let's go.

    David Warner chips one up to mid-on for a single first ball.

    That is not the start England will have wanted. Will Jacks is a more loopy off-spinner and that meant that the batters could just plant their foot and have a big slog sweep.

    England's backs are against the wall.

    This has been dynamic stuff from Australia.

    The damage from that over is extensive.

  7. Aus 25-0

    Will Jacks was just looping those up in the air, inviting the big shot. But with such short boundaries on the leg side, it's so risky. Even a mis-hit is going for six.

    Moeen Ali's off-spin was much harder to get away because he bowls so much flatter and faster.

    Aus 23-0

    David Warner and the slog sweep.

    What a combo. He hits the third six of the over. Something tells me they had a plan to attack Will Jacks...

  9. Aus 17-0

    Edged... but over the keeper! Mark Wood dives full-stretch at deep third and saves the boundary.

    Please be careful, Woody.

    I think that's the biggest six we've seen so far.

  11. 6 runs

    Aus 15-0

    Two in two!

    This one's even bigger. I think he's broken a solar panel.

  12. 6 runs

    Aus 9-0

    Travis Head fancies this.

    He launches Will Jacks' first ball for six.

    I think this is a good move. We know that both Warner and Head like pace on the ball early on.

  14. Aus 3-0

    Lovely start from Moeen. He finds some bounce, getting one to just rear up on Travis Head and somehow go over off stump.

    And it looks like we've got double spin to open. Will Jacks is taking the second.

    I can confirm Ffion's point that it is windy here. It's blowing towards the short boundary too - the off-side as the two lefties line up to Moeen.

    That's not a big hit.

  16. Aus 2-0

    And they're away.

    Head drives through the covers and Warner is very quick, so they come back for a comfortable second.

  17. Aus 0-0

    Here we go!

    Moeen Ali has the ball in hand, two left handers to contend with.

    Travis Head dabs the first ball into the covers for no run. Steady.

  18. It looks very windy in Barbados. Australia's players have got some strong hairstyles amongst them, but they're going to look very windswept by the time these anthems are done.

    Say it every time but Australia's anthem is up there with the best.

    The familiar faces of David Warner and Travis Head are in the middle.

  19. Meanwhile, over in New York, things are getting very interesting as South Africa are in a right pickle chasing only 104 against the Netherlands.

    They have slipped to 20-4 from seven overs - is history repeating itself?

    Tune in here.

    It's a hot one today in Barbados. The swimming pool below the party stand was already busy when I nipped over earlier.

    This is some place to watch cricket and this is a big game, obviously.
