Ashes 2019: Jofra Archer hilariously blocks Matthew Wade from running a double- Watch

Australia absolutely dominated the play during day four of the fourth Ashes Test match at Old Trafford, Manchester.

After Steve Smith's yet another brilliant knock, the tourists set England a target of 383 and still be needing eight more wickets on the fifth and final day of play to take a 2-1 lead in the series. 

Despite the Aussie dominance, English pacer Jofra Archer was the only stand out pacer during the second innings for England. Just like in the previous matches, Archer's deliveries created a lot of problems for the Aussie batsmen and picked up 3 wickets for 45 runs declared their second innings on 186/6.

The 24-yar-old also entertained the crowd at Old Trafford with his scare tactics against Aussie batsman Matthew Wade.

Wade played a shot and took a single off Archer's delivery. On his attempts to take a second run, the English bowler stood in front of him and blocked his path and gave Wade a creepy look. 

This forced the batsman to step back and settle for a single.
