Archer 1-0 Rain.
Getting out last ball before the rain delay has to be the worst thing going.

Wasn't sure it was the right call to bowl first, but looks hugely justified, Aus openers all at sea, Broad and Archer bowling beauties

If they don't take lunch now, well, I fucking despair.

20 mins it took to decide that lunch would be taken. FOR SHAME

Going to be one of those frustrating storm-weathering Australian innings isnβt it. Still not sure about bowling first.

To be fair, it's pissed it down intermittently all over the country for the past 3 months, this could have happened at any ground any time this summer.
Meanwhile, over in the West Indies (can't be bothered to start new threads for WIvInd and SLvNZ when they're all on at the same time) a great start by the Windies pacers....imagine that bowling line up with Jofra as well......

At 4:06 it's announced an early tea will be taken, at 4:10. Kudos.

Two sets of five buzzers off Woakes. Poor lad must be steaming mad, which is hard to imagine from him.

Are we doing a sweepstake as to when Archer is going to break down due to overuse?

Fantastic effort from England to dismiss Australia for 179, hopefully the batsmen can get to a lead of over 100 and set up the match.

Nobody expects the rfm Jofra Archer! Our main weapon is surprise, surprise and nibble, nibble and surprise, our two main weapons are surprise and nibble and ruthless accuracy...

Aus bowling like Broaderson of the past 5 years, nothing at the stumps and England looking comfortable as a result
