England's decision to bowl first didn't pay off as Aussie openers David Warner and Travis Head embarked on a blistering start. The duo exhibited stellar form, effortlessly propelling the Australian scorecard to 55/0 within four overs on a challenging Barbados pitch. However, the tide turned in England's favour when Moeen Ali claimed Warner's wicket in the fifth over, followed by Jofra Archer's clean-bowled dismissal of Head in the subsequent over.
On the fourth ball of the fifth over, Archer delivered a deceptive slower ball disguised as an off-cutter. The southpaw was caught off guard by the variation, and attempted a forceful shot, creating space to drive it towards the off-side. However, the ball zipped through like a bullet, failing to rise as expected due to the forceful swing. Consequently, it slipped beneath Head's bat and crashed into the middle stump. A flabbergasted Head gazed back at the wreckage of stumps before trudging off the field with a tinge of dejection. Meanwhile, Archer, brimming with adrenaline, celebrated halting the potential 'Head-storm'.
The Twitterverse swiftly reacted to Archer's delivery, lauding its brilliance and impact on the game.
