Jofra Archer Took 6 wickets to restrict Australia all out for 179runs
Jofra Archer, the superb pace bowler, in his second test, took 6-45 in 17.1overs. It is the first time a Player took five or more wickets in an inning at this level after making his debut with a 92-mph bouncer who moved Smith out of the field and ruled him out of this match of the series, which is already affected by the rain, at Lord’s Stadium.

Australia all out in just 53overs after losing their last eight wickets for just 43runs in one day with several weather breaks. England, seeking to level the series of five tests at 1-1, reduced Australia to 25-2 after Captain Joe Root won the toss and elected to bowl first.
But David Warner (61) and Marnus Labuschagne (74) revived the innings giving third-wicket partnership of 111runs. Jofra Archer, however, changed course by getting Warner caught in a 90-mph bowling delivery. It was the beginning of a collapse that saw Australia loses three wickets by three runs to be 139-5 at that stage.
Travis Head bowled scoring duck by Stuart Broad and Matthew Wade, who made centuries in the first Ashes test, also ran out of anything when an Archer pace deviated from the thigh pad through his glove and toward the base of the stump.
‘World-class Performance’
“Stop-Start going all day, which is annoying, said Jofra Archer, 24-years-old, told the BBC News. I’m on the moon to get six wickets, but equally happy to get rid. The ball started swinging randomly from the end before Warner’s wicket.”
David Warner’s innings, first double-score in a series in which he had previously achieved only 18 runs in total, while Labuschagne reached his second fifty successive after making 59runs as a substitute for Smith’s concussion at Lord’s.
David Warner Said:
I always had the confidence to be able to find a way, like Smith playing in his first series of Tests, as each completed a 12-month ball-tampering ban. Good balls were taking me out and that happens. You just have to figure out how to survive.
Meanwhile, David Warner also compared Barbados-born Archer to South Africa’s great bowlers Dale Steyn.
David Warner Comparing Archer with Dale Steyn
I look at him like Dale Steyn, looking for swing and movement from the beginning, but then increasing his speed later.
That’s world-class bowling, and England has a great perspective.
Joe Root hoped to make the most of the cloudy conditions at his Yorkshire home, and Smith’s absence.
Smith’s scores of 144, 142 and 92 had been instrumental in putting Australia, which possessed the ashes, as they sought to win a series of tests to England for the first time in 18 years.
David Warner had previously handled innings of only two, eight, three and five ashes.
But it was Marcus Harris, top left-handed batsmen, called in place of the fallen Cameron Bancroft, and Usman Khawaja, whom both fell at a low price, for eight each on Thursday.
Jofra Archer, played around the wicket, squared Harris with an 87.3 mph ball and caught him by the Jonny Bairstow wicket.
Moments later, with Australia 12-1 out of four overs, the rain stopped playing. When the game resumed, Johnny Bairstow caught Khawaja’s gaze on Broad. More rain and bad light, even though the spotlights were on, stopped the game in the second session.
The resumption saw an increasingly safe Labuschagne hit two well-beaten legs from the first change Chris Woakes.
David Warner made a mistake at four of Ben Stokes and saw Warner complete a 79-out of fifty balls, a milestone received with already familiar boos.
But there were also cheers, with Warner’s wife, Candice, among those clapping her husband’s tickets.
Labuschagne’s enthusiastic 129-ball innings ended when he faced Stokes after missing a full shot, with Archer finishing the day’s play when he had Nathan Lyon’s leg before.
