England started their dream spell with the ball and reduced Australia at 14 for 3. Captain Finch fell to Jofra Archer on a golden duck. After Finch, David Warner fell to Chris Woakes on his individual 9. And soon, Peter Handscomb also joined his seniors in the dressing room after a failed innings of 4 runs.

The Australian ship was almost on the brink of sinking but a 103-run stand between Steve Smith and Alex Carey kept the ship floating. But soon Adil Rashid put the Aussie juggernaut on a temporary halt by taking the wickets of Carey and Marcus Stoinis (0) in the 28th over.
Carey, who departed after a well-made 46, had got hit on his helmet by a snorter from Jofra Archer during his innings but the 27-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman didn’t give up and kept playing for his team with a bleeding head until Rashid trapped him.
Captain Steve Smith was playing a good hand from the other end and was not out on 59.
Scorecard: Australia 130 for 5 in 30 overs (Steve Smith 59, Alex Carey 46, Chris Woakes 2/16, Adil Rashid 2/34) against England.
