England win the toss and bowl Jofra Archer is back for Olly Stone.
Adam Zampa is out for Australia due to illness. Mitch Marsh says he would have bowled but isn’t too fussed. “Wondering if there’s a head on that coin,” he jokes. Travis Head is also rested - “he’s a bit sore,” says Marsh. Cameron Green and Sean Abbott come in
England 1 Ben Duckett, 2 Phil Salt, 3 Will Jacks, 4 Harry Brook (capt), 5 Jamie Smith (wk), 6 Liam Livingstone, 7 Jacob Bethell, 8 Brydon Carse, 9 Jofra Archer, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Matthew Potts

An update via Vish: “Reece Topley is still unwell and will not rejoin squad this series.”
Once again no Turner. He has certainly replaced Dawson as no.1 drinks waiter.
Best he moves to Surrey, like Tremlett did, to get a cap.

Archer short ball to Short, who, a couple of balls ago, smacked a similar short ball for six. However this time he is pouched by Rashid on the ropes.
21-1 after 4 overs.
I must admit I do like Stuart Broad as a commentator, he is articulate and explains things really well.

Carse to Marsh, OUT
beauty from Carse, edged behind! Six and out for Marsh, whose footwork was far less certain to this channel ball, it held its line just enough to kiss the bat and present Smith with a simple low take to his right. Carse gets on the board on his home ground
