Jofra Archer to Lhuan-dre Pretorius, out Caught by Wood!! Jofra Archer is all smiles. It's a slower-ball off-cutter and full outside off, Lhuan-dre Pretorius sinks low to slog, the thick top-edge flies straight up and Wood at short third man judges it well, diving forward to snaffle it as it swerved late in the air. Two in the over for England and Archer.
