Woakes and Archer have been on the money, making the most of the conditions and keeping the Aussies guessing. Smith has been tentative, his shots ill-timed. It's a huge task ahead as the Aussies look to rebuild.
Archer continues and after a dot, Carey plays a nice straight drive and he gets 3 as Bairstow does well at the boundary to cut the one run.
A dot later, Smith plays the ball to mid-off and takes off for a single.
Carey then plays the ball to mid-off for a dot before a stinging bouncer hits Carey on the chin and leaves him bleeding. He looks fine but call the attention of the dressing room.
That was the last ball of the over and Carey's injury is getting nursed.
