    You can't ask for a better start than that from Jofra Archer.

    Re. 10:33: Good to see Richard from London hasn't lost his infamous lack of perspective. Or indeed his famously talismanic words of motivation!

    Hard to start much better as an opener.

    Steve Smith gets off the mark with a very rapid single, that would have been close had that hit!

    Australia - like India yesterday - have burned their review very early on.

    WHAT an over from Jofra Archer.

    Finch has a great record against England. That was massive.

    Of course this is the way it had to be. Steve Smith and David Warner versus England.

  8. Aus 4-1published at 1.3 overs

    Jofra Archer's first ball to Steve Smith is a snorter of a bouncer, has the former skipper ducking and diving out of the way before he inside edges safely away.

    Fidgety as ever.

    What a start for England. Aaron Finch has been a talisman for Australia. Great delivery. Get it full and nip it back. That is Finch's weakness.

    Cheerio, cheerio, cheerio! Is the song from the stands before Steve Smith is booed loudly as he arrives at the crease.

    A captain always reviews their own wicket don't they?
