England's Jofra Archer has been named in the team to face India in the third test of the series at Lord's, England's cricket board (ECB) announced on Wednesday, as the fast bowler prepares for his first test in more than four years.

Injury-prone pace bowler Jofra Archer will play his first cricket test for England in 4 1/2 years after being selected for the third match of the series against India starting Thursday at Lord’s.

The third Test of the riveting five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series is set to begin on Thursday, July 10, at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. With the series tied at 1-1 after India’s emphatic 336-run victory at Edgbaston, both teams have everything to play for.
