England's Jofra Archer has been named in the team to face India in the third test of the series at Lord's, England's cricket board (ECB) announced on Wednesday, as the fast bowler prepares for his first test in more than four years.

Jofra Archer exploded onto the international cricket scene in the summer of 2019, starring for England in its memorable title triumph at the 50-over World Cup and then the Ashes series weeks later.

England and India are unified on one thing ahead of the third Rothesay Test at Lord’s: frustration at the state of the Dukes ball. The first two games of the series have been punctuated by regular interruptions, with the bowling side frequently complaining about the ball going soft and losing shape.
