England Pace Quartet Might Keep Archer Going Until He Is 40
Archer said sharing the attack with three other quicks could help manage his workload after he bowled at 94mph and took 3-26 at Lord's.
- On Friday, England's four-man pace attack of Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue, and Gus Atkinson dismissed Pakistan for 109 at Lord's, establishing a commanding 261-run lead.
- Archer, 31, believes the rotating four-man attack could extend his career until age 40 by sharing the workload, allowing bowlers to remain fresh and avoid being overworked.

- With a home Ashes series less than one year away, captain Joe Root praised the pace bowlers' variety, positioning the quartet as a potent long-term strategy for England.
