  1. Aus 100-2

    A single off Chris Jordan brings up Australia's hundred.

    But, boundaries have dried up since the end of the powerplay.

  2. Moeen Ali finally gave England something to celebrate.

  3. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    That is out of the ground off the solar panels. That is £60 more for the ICC.

  4. 6 runs

    Aus 97-2

    Oh, absolute pie.

    Adil Rashid drops one way too short and Glenn Maxwell breaks another solar panel.

  5. Aus 90-2

    But, they're not going to let Adil Rashid settle.

    Glenn Maxwell sweeps for a one-bounce four.

    How come that all the commentators can see it. Scream to go pace off from over 1. And yet Buttler and Mott can't see it. They are both so so out of their depth. But we will have to go out of another tournament in the group stages for any chance of them being moved on. Painful era of short-form cricket for England needs to be brought to an end.

  7. Aus 85-2

    Mark Wood and Jos Buttler discuss tacticsGetty Images

    Considering that the first five overs cost 70, I'm going to take this as a recovery.

    Bravo, Mark Wood. 22 off his first over, three from his second.

  8. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    I thought it was inevitable that Reece Topley would play this game because of the movement he gets and that fits with this ground. I thought it would be a potent threat for England having not looked dangerous with the new ball against Scotland.

  9. Aus 83-2

    Good response from Mark Wood after his first over was taken apart.

    Just one from the first three.

  10. Here's David Warner hitting three sixes in an over.

    Who doesn't want to watch that?

  11. Aus 82-2

    Good response from Adil Rashid. Just two runs from the remaining three balls.

  12. Aus 79-2

    A well-timed sweep from Mitchell Marsh brings the skipper his first boundary.

  13. Aus 75-2

    As predicted, here's Adil Rashid.

    Sweet Caroline at the end of the powerplay...

    England desperately needed those wickets.

  15. Henry Moeran
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    It feels a mistake that England didn't go with the left-arm seamer in Reece Topley. That isn't just on Jos Buttler, though.

  16. Aus 74-2

    Welcome, Glenn! Jofra Archer whizzes one past his nose to greet him.

    It's still Australia's powerplay, but with the openers gone, England have an opening.

  17. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport in Barbados

    The squeeze has to come from England now but Glenn Maxwell is walking out.

    Eeeek.

  18. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds

    That was the fourth slower ball of Jofra Archer's over. He's recognised that the batters wanted the pace.

    This is really the moment where the England bowlers need to squeeze and put the pressure on these two new Australia batters.

    WICKET

    Head b Archer 34 (Aus 74-2)

    The stumps are splattered! Jofra Archer with the perfect response.

    It's a slower ball but nevertheless, middle stump is almost out of the ground, because it's Jofra.

    Travis Head goes for a big heave, completely loses his shape and departs for an entertaining 34 from 18 balls.

  20. Aus 74-1

    But Travis Head just keeps going. Four more, slashed past point.
