Brydon Carse to Head, out Caught by Crawley!! Sharp catch and Australia lose both their openers in quick succession! 137.6kph, full delivery outside off, Head is drawn forward into a drive and he may have been a bit early into the stroke. The bottom hand comes off the bat handle. It dies on the fielder but Crawley shows great reflexes at shortish cover-point. Dives to his left and takes a superb low catch with his left hand inches above the turf. That's a stunning one-handed grab and England are elated. Head c Crawley b Brydon Carse 10(28) [4s-1]
