Little to take from the game other than that Archer is ace.

Wood is injury prone and I think that Woakes knee problem is much worse than we realise. We need both of them fit to be in with any chance of success.And Archer must play and Jordan would be in my squad too as adequate cover for Wood or Woakes.
Good batting so far, should be looking at 350ish here which is decent but not impossible to chase. Buttler and Morgan are batting beautifully.
