Jofra Archer and the rest of the England squad took part in a nets session at Headingley ahead of the third Ashes Test against Australia starting Thursday.

The 24-year-old announced his arrival on the Test scene in some style during the drawn second Test at Lord's, taking five wickets and causing star Australia batsman Steve Smith to leave the field to be assessed for concussion after being hit on the neck by an Archer bouncer.

Australia are 1-0 up in the five-match series.
