The English County Championship 2021 is in full fledge during the English summers. During the much-awaited Group 3 match between Sussex and Kent in Howe, English pacer Jofra Archer made a comeback to competitive cricket.
The speedster took to nets after hi🦂s surgery to practic✨e for Sussex ahead of the County Championship.
Sussex won the toss and opted to bowl first. Kent sent their openers in the form of skipper D Bell-Drummond and Jordan Cox.
Archer’s assiduous work was seen on-field when he dismissed Bell-Drummond for a paltry two runs. Thus, the right-arm seamer instantly gained back his form and exemplified his class.
However, the most prized wicket came in the eighth over when Archer spun a web around the number three batsman Zak Crawley and bamboozled the latter with his swing.
Archer bowled a back of a length delivery and stunned his England teammate with his bounce and🀅 late movement.
Crawley, who was looking to defend the ball, couldn’t keep it down as he gave an edge to the wicket-keeper Ben Brown, who made no mistake and grabbed an easy catch.
The commentators heaped pr🌺aises on Ar🥂cher and were delighted to witness such a masterpiece. After a poor start, Kent were straddled at 11 for 2.
Sussex instantly shared the clip through their official Twitter channel. “That’s a SNORTER! Two wickets already for @JofraArcher!,” the county team wrote.
Here’s the video:

Before this contest, Archer was seen on-field in the fifth T20I of the England tour of India on March 20. The 26-year-old struggled with an injury and later underwent surgery to remove a glass fragment from his right hand’s tendon.
The Barbados-born also had to pull out of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 owing to the wound.
