England's post-Ashes pace pivot pays off as Archer hits 95mph at Lord's
England prioritised genuine pace after last winter's Ashes defeat in Australia. The strategy is delivering: Jofra Archer touched 95mph in his fastest opening spell at Lord's, and Pakistan were bowled out for 110, having made 171 at Headingley. Captain Joe Root said this group offers more variation than the Anderson, Broad, Woakes and Stokes attack he once led. Michael Vaughan warned England's own batting may be the easiest he has seen to bowl to.
