Well that's twice so far I've reached for my phone to call my dad. He died four years ago so I will tell you all... what a start!

India were 5-3 yesterday so Australia are doing better than that I suppose.
Alex Carey has come in at five and edges straight away. It drops short of slip though!

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialGreat delivery again! Sideways movement from Chris Woakes. It nipped back. Fantastic start from England.
14-3 against Australia in a World Cup semi-final? It doesn't get any better.

Handscomb b Woakes 4 (Aus 14-3)
Stay calm, England fans. Stay calm.
AUSTRALIA ARE 14-3!!!!!
Full of length, Woakes pitches it up, Peter Handscomb's uncomfortable innings ends with the sound of timber as he inside-edges into middle stump.
KERPLUNK! Thanks for coming.

'Had a good innings' is an overly-used phrase isn't it? But that's legit.

Image source, Martin AvelingWhat a start by England! I’m not moving away from the radio all day. Whatever the result, I think the best innings has to go to Grandpa Aveling - 102 today!

You'll be OK on our desk today Matt. I've been here since 9 and nobody's made a brew yet. This country.
Archer sees a single come off the final ball of the over. But he is some bowler!

The Weetabix deal is in the post.
Jofra Archer then bowls a beauty, Peter Handscomb isn't good enough to nick it. A 92mph scorcher past the outside edge.

Jofra Archer now on 18 wickets, two more than previous best by an England player in a Cricket World Cup (Botham 16 in 1992).

Woakes bowling beautifully, he squares up Steve Smith with some movement. Just the one off the over.

Good start but England can't afford to be complacent or take the foot off the gas. Bowling has to be top notch. Let's bowl them out for less than 250. Come on England!

Chris Woakes has another batsman looking nervy - as the ball rattles into Handscomb's pads! There's a slither of an inside edge this time though...

Michael Hutchings: Warner really is in good nick. He managed to get a bat on a good one today rather than playing and missing at 10 of them.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThis is where the bowlers just have to keep calm. They will be getting excited as well. Keep your line and length.
