Archer came up in his rhythmic run-up and delivered a bouncer in the very first attempt. Surprised by the bouncer, the batsman slipped at the crease. The next ball the speedster delivered passed near the bat without the batsman getting any hint off the direction.
The batsman played a backward defensive shot in the third ball, while the fourth ball just missed the stumps.
The fifth ball was a lucrative one for an edge, whereas the sixth ball was guided towards the third man.
