English quick Jofra Archer has called on England to dump the spin and go with five pace bowlers for the second Test of the Ashes in Adelaide.

It comes after the tourists were thumped to the tune of nine wickets in the first Test at the Gabba.

Rolled on the opening day for 150, England then struggled to slow the Aussies down, with spinner Jack Leach a cardinal offender, going at more than eight runs per over and taking just a single wicket in 11 unthreatening overs which the home batsmen took great joy in tearing down.

The fact captain Joe Root found himself bowling over half the overs Leach did says it all when it comes to how easily the Australian batsmen took to Leach's bowling.

But Archer, who has missed the Ashes with injury, recently told The Daily Telegraph that he wants to see the side go with five pace bowlers for Adelaide - four in the regular positions plus Ben Stokes as the all-rounder, with Joe Root to provide a minimal part time spin option.

The comments come despite England being slugged with one of the heaviest over rate penalties the sport has seen, with all players losing 100 per cent of their match fee after a debacle on Day 2 which saw just 84 overs bowled in seven hours.

“Being in Australia period, not just the day-night Test, it would be tempting,” Archer told the publication.

“Australia is probably the one place in the world where you’re going to get the most consistent (conditions) for fast bowling. So it might be tempting to just pick five fast bowlers regardless.”

Stuart Broad and James Anderson are expected to return for the second Test in Adelaide under lights, with two of Chris Woakes, Mark Wood and Ollie Robinson to retain their place alongside the experienced duo who both missed the opening match of the series.

Woakes is expected at this stage to be the unlucky one to miss out.

Archer said it was tough watching the first Test.

“It was actually, because you know, it’s one of those tours as a fast bowler that you don’t want to miss,” said Archer.

“You know you’re going to get purchase if you bend your back. Australia is where fast bowlers thrive.”
