2nd over: Australia 7-0 (Short 2, Head 4) Ollie Stone is bending his back and extracting some bounce from the pitch, causing problems for both batters. Short is nearly caught in the slips, an edge off the shoulder of his bat dies just before reaching Brook in the slips. Head then throws his arms at a few but the ball zips past his blade on each occasion. Just a single off the over.
1st over: Australia 6-0 (Short 1, Head 4) Matt Short hangs back and plays a short ball away for a single to open the scoring and bring Head on strike. England will desperately want to see the back of him early. And just like that… Head leans on a full ball gets off the mark with a four clipped through the leg side. Gulp.
