Archer Plays Down Fastest Test Spell

Jofra Archer bowled his fastest Test spell with an average speed of 90.7mph against Pakistan but questioned the accuracy of the speed guns.

The England quick took three wickets in the ferocious spell that helped his team into a dominant position in the second Test against Pakistan. However, the 31-year-old dismissed the impressive readings, claiming: "Nah, the speed gun isn't working properly." chickenroad.qpon

"I saw some of them and I was like, it didn't really feel that way. Maybe the speed guns are a little bit dodgy here," Archer added, recalling similar doubts from his 2019 Ashes appearance at the venue. He also noted that with England's strong attack, "you don't have to do too much."
