It's hard to accuse Jofra Archer of not trying for England. After bowling 20.2 overs in oppressive heat over four sessions to take 5 for 53, he only got 52.2 overs to put his feet up before heading back out to bat. Certainly not enough time to have a nap with his infamous pillow. He's not asleep with the bat this series either. He has proven a thorn in Australia's side and currently has England's second best average of the series with the bat. Archer and Stokes have survived more than 10 overs, taken England past the follow-on and the 200 mark. Archer deserves a lot of credit for hanging in.
