Carey responds to almost being dismissed by driving Rashid into the covers for two, then pulling him away for four through mid-wicket.
He's now on 31 from 30 - could he make another big contribution here? He was player of the match in the last ODI at Headingley, top-scoring for Australia with 74, mostly added with the tail.
Very close!
Umpire's call, skimming the top of the bails, and Carey survives.
It looked like an unlikely review with the Australian keeper taking a fair step forward, but it wasn't so far away.

We know how difficult it is for batters to sometimes pick up the slower balls and be able to hit them consistently with the change of pace. Adil Rashid is mixing that pace up perfectly here!

This is close and it could be a massive wicket for England!
Adil Rashid strikes Alex Carey on the pads stepping down to defend.
Nothing from the umpire, but after a bit of a conference the review is sent upstairs by Harry Brook.

England needed that! Steven Smith picks up Jofra Archer, but Brydon Carse covers 15 or 20 yards before a full-length dive to his left-hand side. He's taken an absolute screamer! Smith cannot believe it!
Glenn Maxwell arrives at number seven for Australia, and he sees off the final three balls of Archer's over.
The veteran batter may have to go quite hard quite quickly here if Australia are to set a respectable total.
Smith c Carse b Archer 60 (Aus 172-5)
A stunning catch from Brydon Carse!
Steven Smith pulls Jofra Archer to the square leg boundary, hitting the ball flat and hard on the swivel.
Carse makes impressive ground running round from backward square, diving to take the catch with two hands a few yards in from the ropes.
Smith was half way through his run and had to suddenly stop - he can only smile incredulously.
'Absolute screamer' - Smith is caught by Carse off the bowling of Archer
A tidy over for Rashid straight after the drinks break, just three runs from it.

Not strictly what we're looking for, Tim, but we'll let this one slide...

There was no on around Harry Brook there as no one expected him to save the boundary, and Australia run four! That is old school, I love it!
Archer bustles in, and Carey strikes his fourth ball down to the ropes at deep mid-wicket.
Harry Brook and gives chase and just about manages to keep the ball from crossing the boundary, tumbling over the colourful blue sponge that marks it out, but there's still time for the Australian batters to rack up an all-run four.
The players will take drinks under sunny late September skies.

Here's something about Jofra Archer's bowling speeds so far in this game. He's bowled at 88.5mph average, compared to 87.6mph in the first ODI. Combined, it's 88mph average so far this summer, which is considerably quicker than in ODIs in the previous summers.
In 2020, he had an average of 85.3mph and in 2019, it was 85.7mph That's encouraging for someone who's had quite a few injuries!

Things can get a bit more exciting here as Jofra Archer returns to the attack!
Adil Rashid returns to the attack, and the Australian batters work his fourth over around for five runs.
And it's going to be a double-change for England, with Jofra Archer at the top of his run-up...

Obvious error by England here. Only three pace bowlers whereas Australia have five. It's like we've completely ignored the recent weather.

Steven Smith brings up his 50 in 71 balls. That was his fifth four and 46th 50-plus score in ODIs - 12 centuries among those. It's his seventh 50 against England in this format.
Hello, Alex Carey goes after Jacob Bethell, hitting him for a four and a six.
A cover drive beats Brydon Carse to the boundary, with the England fielder sliding into the camera frame a second or so after the ball has reached the ropes.
Caret then lofts the penultimate ball of the over down the ground and into the stands for his first six of the innings.
Carey hits Bethell for six
