London: Jofra Archer took two wickets and struck Test cricket's first concussion substitute, Marnus Labuschagne on the grille of his helmet as England pushed for an unlikely series-levelling victory in the second Ashes clash at Lord's yesterday.

At the time of going to press, Australia were 138-5 in the last session on the final day of the second Test. That left them needing another 129 runs in a minimum of 11 overs to reach a victory target of 267. Test debutant Archer also struck Steve Smith on the neck with a rapid bouncer during the star batsman's 92 on Saturday. Smith was passed fit to resume his innings on Saturday but further tests yesterday sidelined him with concussion.
