Archer makes instant impact on second day

JOFRA ARCHER needed just three balls to remind England what they have been missing during his long absence, lighting up day two of the third Rothesay Test with a memorable dismissal of India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Archer's eagerly-anticipated return from injury saw an instant impact, with a fiendish 90mph ball that climbed into Jaiswal’s outside edge and settled in Harry Brook's hands at second slip.

He did not add a second scalp but his stint of 10-3-22-1 offered enough encouragement that there is more to come from one of the most exciting bowlers of his generation.

‘The match was finely balanced at stumps, India reached 145 for three in reply to England’s hard-fought 387.

It was also a day to remember for Joe Root, who completed his 37th Test hundred off the first ball of the day and later swooped one-handed at slip to grab a record-breaking catch.
