Along with Ben Stokes, who made a lovely century on the final day, Archer gave England a real chance of winning the second Test, even after more than five sessions were lost to rain.
It is the tourists who have thinking to do before the third Test at Headingley begins on Thursday. What are they going to do about Archer? They know what to expect - plenty of hostility - but knowing what you're getting and actually being able to deal with it are two different things. These low-scoring games are dramatic and they move along quickly. They might frustrate those who long for old-fashioned Test batting, but there is no denying that they provide plenty of entertainment.
When Roy was picked, and most were in agreement that his white-ball form warranted a chance at Test cricket, we made a collective pact. Similarly, Joe Denly has hinted towards being able to cut it at Test level. When I saw him on the final morning, he said he was fed-up with making"pretty 20s". I told him that was better than making an ugly nought. He will be feeling under pressure to convert.
Who is this joker?
