Drakes says 'special' Archer can succeed at Test level

Archer to Bancroft, OUT, been given lbw! But Bancroft has reviewed. The no-ball
is just okay. Was it high or outside the line? There's no bat. Nipped back nicely
off the seam as well. Umpire's call on hitting the bails.
Archer has his first ! Big celebrations for him

CT Bancroft lbw b Archer 13

On Test debut so far, Jofra Archer has bowled faster than any Englishman in Test cricket for six years. Even in the eighth over of his spell, he was still averaging 88.5mph

Despite the ugliness of the hit behind his left ear, which knocked Smith off his feet and sent a hush
over the shocked crowd as players and medical staff rushed to his side, it was the blow to his forearm
suffered six overs earlier that sent him to hospital for precautionary X-rays.
