Head had a moment of fortune on 6, when Brydon Carse - in from the boundary at deep point - all but clawed down a replica of Ben Stokes' "you cannot do that" epic from the 2019 World Cup. But the feature of Head's early innings was a fascinating duel with Jofra Archer, making his first ODI appearance in 18 months. Armed with the new ball, Archer bowled a handful of unplayable deliveries, including a cutter that left Head wide-eyed with wonder, but he was also picked off for 53 runs in six overs, including a fabulous flick for six off the toes that obliged him to return the look of incredulity.
