Jofra back as Eng look to take lead

THEIR pace bowlers could only pick nine wickets across two innings, one less than India's speedster Akash Deep's match-haul, in the Edgbaston Test, which England lost by a record margin of 336 runs.

THEIR pace bowlers could only pick nine wickets across two innings, one less than India's speedster Akash Deep's match-haul, in the Edgbaston Test, which England lost by a record margin of 336 runs. The hammering at the hands of India, which also levelled the five-match series 1-1, was bound to draw some reactions from the hosts and they responded by including pacer Jofra Archer in their playing XI for the third match starting at the Lord's on Thursday. Fellow pacer Josh Tongue made way for Archer as England made only one change for the Lord's Test.
