Joe Root described Jofra Archer’s rousing return to the Test arena as a “genuine joy” as the seamer began repaying four years of faith from the England team.Lord’s witnessed Archer’s first red-ball spell for his country since February 2021, a lengthy hiatus that has seen the pace bowler laid low by a series of serious injuries, and the moment quickly turned to triumph.Archer hit the jackpot with just his third delivery, a soaring 90mph ball that the dangerous Yashasvi Jaiswal could only edge to second slip.Archer exploded in delight, an emotion shared by his team-mates as well as the fans in the stands, many of whom have never given up on a player who lit this famous ground up in his breakthrough summer of 2019.
