Lords: England's Jofra Archer is expected to make his Test debut in the second Ashes match at Lord's.

The 24-year-old pace bowler - who was born in Barbados to a British father and qualified for England in March - has only played limited-overs international cricket, starring in England's World Cup-winning team.

Watch

England will hope Archer can curtail Steve Smith's dominance at the crease.

The former Australian skipper's scores of 144 and 142 were pivotal in setting up a 251 run win in the opening match at Edgbaston.
