With the brakes on, Archer goes the extra mile to deliver quality control

IT does not matter who is charging in, Rishabh Pant will always try to do Rishabh Pant things.

In this instance, he was trying to reverse sweep Jofra Archer, a ball after he had slog-swept England's marquee fast bowler to the boundary.

Had Archer been operating at 90mph-plus, Pant who had to leave - the field on a golf buggy after being hit on the foot by Chris Woakes - would probably have done exactly the same.

But Archer was not operating at 90mph-plus.

This was a day of hard graft for him, a day when there was never going to be an over of six 90mph-

plus deliveries, as there was at Lord's.

On a dry, largely unresponsive pitch, it is unlikely Archer was ecstatic with Ben Stokes' decision to bowl first, as predictable as it was.
