However, Archer may not play in the second Test match, but England has a great pace attack. Apart from the experienced Chris Woakes, young fast bowlers like Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue are also present in the team. It will be worth seeing how England is going to play in the second Test match?
On the other hand, the matter of concern for India is that the playing of experienced Jasprit Bumrah in the second Test match is doubtful due to workload. Either Arshdeep Singh or Akashdeep can get a chance in place of Bumrah.
