TFW Daily - Should Archer come straight back?- England NZ, 1st Test, Lord’s Review
Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 1st Test, Lord’s Review: It’s the day after one of the shortest 40-wicket Tests on record and Adam has Daniel Norcross with him to ponder what it all means. The Lord’s pitch is where attention continues to sit, albeit with MCC presenting a path to a better future for the contentious 22 yards. Casting to The Oval, where the next Test begins next Wednesday, is it simply the case that Jofra Archer vaults straight into the squad and, indeed, the XI? How might Shoaib Bashir’s use, or otherwise, inform this? As for the Black Caps, they simply cannot lose their bundle with their WTC implications.
