Jofra Archer insists he will "laugh" with Steve Smith about bouncer

The incident ruled Smith out of the third Ashes Test at Headingley.

Jofra Archer expects to one day share a laugh with Steve Smith about the vicious 92mph delivery which left the Australian batsman concussed, but he has no interest in friendship while Ashes glory remains up for grabs.

The in-form pair are set to resume their bruising duel at Old Trafford next week after Smith was forced to sit out England's astonishing one-wicket win at Headingley which levelled the series.

Australia talisman Smith, who has made 144, 142 and 92 in his three Ashes innings, was knocked to the floor during the drawn Lord's encounter, having been clattered in the neck by a thunderous short ball from Test debutant Archer.

Reflecting on 2019 so far, the Sussex player said: "It's probably the best year of my life.

"I've made all of my debuts, all a few months apart. We've won a lot of games in all three formats, so I am happy at the moment.

"I didn't think I was going to get my maiden five-for this series, so I'm over the moon to actually be doing all right for the team."

:: Specsavers are the official Test partner of the England cricket team. Archer was speaking to PA Media ahead of the fourth Specsavers Ashes Test match.
