Leeds: Jofra Archer insisted his six-wicket haul on the opening day of the third Ashes Test at Headingley proved there was more to his game than raw pace alone.
The build-up to this match had featured plenty of talk about the physical threat posed by England fast bowler Archer, who by hitting Steven Smith with a 92 mph bouncer in the drawn second Test at Lord's had ruled the star Australia batsman out of the Headingley match with concussion. But Archer deployed his fearsome short-ball sparingly during a superb return of six for 45 in 17.1 overs as Australia, 1-0 up in the five-match series, were dismissed for just 179. "I don't need to run in and bowl 90 mph every spell to get wickets," said Archer.
