The reaction from the broader community of observers has been significant.

Two balls later, he bowled Jofra Archer for a duck, and ⁠in his next over, he had Matthew Fisher playing ⁠on to his stumps without ⁠scoring.

At the same time, then with the next ball, he had Josh Tongue edging to Daryl Mitchell.

Henry then finished it off ‌by bowling Jordan Cox with an in-swinging yorker to take his match haul to 11 ‌wickets.

What has become increasingly clear is that england ‌have now lost six of their last eight Tests.

Meanwhile, sources familiar with the matter indicate that next week ’ s series decider will be held at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
