India vs England: Day Two at Lord's was an ode to the old-school notes of Test cricket

Attrition and patience mark the events, which danced to the tunes of the game's classical rhymes, leaving the scales of the games evenly tilted

Not playing Test cricket for the last four-and-a-half years, it took Jofra Archer just two deliveries to come up with an unplayable ball.

That smooth as Rolls Royce run-up hadn't changed, the easy approach to the crease was in place and he could also perfectly pitch a 90 mph out-swinger on the legs of a left-hander and square him up.

Yashasvi Jaiswal could only do what even the best of batsmen manage on such balls-edge it into the hands of slips. Lord's erupted, Jofra was back. The England team was delighted. They had got back their old trusted weapon and it was firing alright.
