Jofra Archer Sends Yashasvi Jaiswal Back: On the second day of the Lord’s Test, England got a big comeback as Jofra Archer, and Archer also did not delay in proving himself. The Archer, who returned to the Test after four years, moved India’s in-form opener Yashasvi Jaiswal on his third ball.
England fast bowler Jofra Archer has made a comeback in Test cricket after four years. On Thursday, July 11, on the second day of the third Test match being played at Lord’s, he caught India’s opener Yashasvi Jaiswal out of his third ball and caught everyone’s attention.
At the beginning of India’s first innings, Archer got the responsibility of bowling and threw a brilliant seam-up delivery at a speed of 145 km/h on the third ball of the second over. The ball was around the off stump, which Jaiswal went to the backfoot and tried to play on the leg side, but he got a leading age and the ball went straight to Harry Brook’s hands standing on another slip.
Jaiswal was dismissed for just 13 runs and returned to the pavilion disappointed, while Archer celebrated in a strong manner after getting the wicket. Fellow bowler Shoaib Bashir embraced him and made the moment more special.
