WATCH: Jofra Archer's athletic effort dismisses Washington Sundar on Day 5 of ENG vs IND 3rd Test
England pacer took back-to-back wickets, first to dismiss Rishabh Pant and then Washington Sundar.

Emotions oozing out from the gallery of lords. Crowds took off from their seats, a flying Jofra Archer showing his brilliant bowling and great athleticism to eliminate India from the match. The England pacer took back-to-back wickets, first to dismiss Rishabh Pant and then Washington Sundar.
Sundar was in total disbelief to see what Jofra did in front of him. India's all-rounder's facial expression explained the pressure and the situation Team India has been experiencing from the beginning of Day 5. It could be an easy win match for the Shubman Gill-led side if England came on the field without Jofra Archer. But sometimes the reality can be so cruel to believe.
For more than four years, Jofra was out from Test cricket because of various injury reasons. He marked the ongoing Lord’s Test match to set the stage for his return in the whites. Bowling with pace and movement on a five-day-old surface is ever an easy task to do for a pace bowler. But Archer’s mettle is different; he wants to make his comeback remarkable in every aspect of the match.

The wicket of Sundar
Washington Sundar tried to guide the ball towards the leg side. But the delivery, which got some movement, got a leading edge. Archer, controlling his follow-through towards the path of the ball, dove to his right side to grab the ball with his right hand. Glorious bowling followed by an exciting fielding effort. Sundar departed for a duck, facing only 4 balls. Archer got his 3rd wicket of the decisive innings of the match, and Team India lost their 7th wicket.

The wicket of Rishabh Pant:
On the 5th delivery of the 24th over, the pacer pitched a good length delivery on the line of the wicket; the seam position of the Duke ball hinted at a possible outswing to the left-handed batter. Pant, with a straight bat, tried to oppose the ball, but he was never in the line of the delivery. Archer’s seaming delivery went straight to take the off-stump for a walk.
