The Ashes 2025 LIVE cricket scores: Australia vs England 3rd Test; Day 1 highlights, results and latest updates; Travis Head 'punishes' England bowlers early; Steve Smith ruled out as Usman Khawaja re

Archer finally gets his man and Weatherald departs for 18 off 27.

The left-hander attempted to hook a searing delivery close to 150 clicks from the England quick and skies it, allowing keeper Smith to take a simple high catch.

"This is a huge breakthrough, Jofra Archer has delivered after a wayward start ... this is the money ball," Kerry O'Keeffe said on Fox Cricket.

Nervous early moment for Labuschagne on zero, edging a ball that lands safely before the slips cordon and now Archer has got his tail up.

Wicket maiden for the England star.

Another ordinary delivery from Carse is sent to the rope, this time by Weatherald.

"This is poor," Michael Vaughan said on Fox Cricket.

He backs it up with another terrible ball outside off that Weatherald smokes over the top and to the boundary for another four runs.

"That is just a gift," Vaughan said.

Weatherald cops a short ball to the helmet, but he seems to be fine.

The umpire sticks his arm out for Carse's third front-foot no-ball of the day.

Carse gets "punished" in the words of Adam Gilchrist after being dispatched to the boundary by Head, who dined out on a short and wide delivery.

"Travis Head eats those for breakfast," Mark Waugh said on Fox Cricket.

Not a good start from the England seamers.

Head takes off for a quick single, showing great intent early doors.

"He's just bowling that nothing length at the moment and he can't afford to be ... early on you've got to be brave and pitch it up," Mark Waugh said on Fox Cricket.

Michael Vaughan says that Archer is bowling "exactly where you want it as a batter" as the Australian openers continue to rotate the strike with easy singles.

Archer switches to around the wicket and bowls a full-toss at Weatherald.

0-10 after three overs.

Head whips a single to the leg-side as Carse takes the second over for England.

Weatherald almost chops onto his stumps from a hooping delivery, but avoids disaster.

"Bit of swing so far," Mark Waugh said on Fox Cricket.

A brief appeal for lbw but the umpire shuts it down and England opt not to review it.

Weatherald opens his account with a flick through mid-wicket for a boundary.

Archer takes the new ball as expected and his first few balls are floating around the 135km/h mark as Head gets off the mark with a single.

"This is a really big spell for Jofra," Michael Vaughan said on Fox Cricket.

Rather calm first over compared to the first two matches.
