According to <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">CricViz<\/span>, his opening spell averaged 90.7 mph, with some deliveries touching 94 mph. He dismissed Pakistan captain Shan Masood, who was caught behind, as the visitors went into lunch at 16\/2 after 14.1 overs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Despite the numbers on the speed gun, Archer said he was not convinced they were accurate.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>\u201cNah, the speed gun isn\u2019t working properly,\u201d the 31-year-old said. \u201cI saw some of them [speeds] and I was like, it didn\u2019t really feel that way. I don\u2019t know who\u2019s up in the box working it, but thanks. I remember playing here in the Ashes in 2019 and thinking the same thing. Maybe the speed guns are a little bit dodgy here.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Robinson and Tongue continued the pressure after Archer\u2019s opening burst. Archer praised the pace attack for working together rather than relying on one bowler.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>\u201cEveryone chips in. Ollie\u2019s been phenomenal since he started [playing] again. Gus and Tonguey, everyone\u2019s picking up the slack,\u201d Archer said. \u201cWith this attack you don\u2019t have to go and do too much. You don\u2019t have to try too hard. You know someone\u2019s going to back you up.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Pakistan\u2019s batting struggled throughout the innings. Opener Azan Awais was the only batter to offer resistance with 46, before pulling Robinson to deep square leg. Saud Shakeel was the next highest scorer with 16.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>England ended the day on 81\/3 in their second innings, extending their overall lead to 261 runs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Even with rain forecast on Day 3, England remain in a commanding position as they look to secure their first home Test series win in two years.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/90-7-mph-average-speed-jofra-archer-bowls-fastest-spell-of-test-career-calls-speed-guns-dodgy\/articleshow\/133602666.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jofra Archer produced the fastest spell of his Test career as England bowled Pakistan out for 110 on Day 2 of the second Test at Lord\u2019s and took complete control of the match.England\u2019s pace attack made full use of the conditions after Pakistan resumed with hopes of staying in the game.
